I Got a Salmon Sperm Facial—And I’d Do It Again

Kim Kardashian put salmon sperm on her face, so I put salmon sperm on my face. Granted, she actually had salmon sperm injected into her face, whereas I had mine applied topically during a microneedling session because injecting into the skin is not FDA-approved. (Kardashian may have gotten her treatment outside of the US.)

Does CoolSculpting … Actually Work?

When it comes to dealing with stubborn fat, you’d think modern science would have a way to fix problem spots without surgery, right? “Unfortunately, not yet,” says board-certified plastic surgeon Adam Kolker, M.D. I know that’s hard to believe — especially in the age of Ozempic — but for most people, nonsurgical body contouring isn’t that effective.
