Dr. Gina Messiha, co-founder of Ocean Cosmetics, is no stranger to the spotlight. Her expertise and passion for cosmetic medicine have made her a trusted name in Perth, Western Australia. But recently, her name has been buzzing online and on the airwaves, thanks to a groundbreaking treatment called Rejuran, or as some cheekily call it, the “salmon sperm facial.”
The journey began with an article by Jay Hanna, who bravely trialed this viral skin treatment for PerthNow. Her account detailed the treatment’s fascinating origins, its growing celebrity fan base (think Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston), and the glowing results she experienced firsthand. As soon as the story went live, it sparked curiosity and conversations all over Perth.

So, what exactly is Rejuran? How does it work? And why is everyone—from everyday Perth locals to A-list celebrities—talking about it? Let’s dive into this exciting new frontier in skin health.
What is Rejuran, and Why is it Called the “Salmon Sperm Facial”?
Let’s address the elephant in the room—yes, Rejuran is derived from salmon DNA. Specifically, it’s a compound known as polynucleotide (PN), extracted from the testicles of wild salmon, which has a remarkable ability to regenerate and repair skin cells. While the “salmon sperm” nickname might raise eyebrows, it’s actually a bit of a misnomer. The treatment uses the DNA extracted from salmon testicles, not the sperm itself, to deliver powerful skin-rejuvenating benefits.
Rejuran is packed with nutrients that promote cellular repair, hydration, and collagen production. It’s an approach to skincare that focuses on long-term health rather than quick fixes. And in an era where the “pillow face” trend is fading, this treatment aligns perfectly with the shift toward natural, radiant results.
How is Rejuran Harvested?
The extraction process is a marvel of biotechnology and is carried out in Korea, where Rejuran was first developed. The polynucleotides are carefully harvested and purified to ensure their safety and efficacy. Salmon DNA is incredibly compatible with human skin, and its regenerative properties have been proven in various studies.
Why salmon DNA? Salmon DNA is highly stable and rich in polynucleotides, which are the building blocks of our skin cells. These compounds help repair damaged skin, improve elasticity, and boost hydration from the inside out.
The result is a treatment that not only rejuvenates but also protects the skin, making it stronger and healthier over time.
The Buzz in Perth: Why Rejuran is Taking Off
At Ocean Cosmetics, we’re thrilled to be among the first clinics in Perth to offer Rejuran. The treatment’s popularity can be attributed to several factors:
The Celebrity Factor: When names like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston endorse a treatment, people take notice. Jay Hanna’s article brought this global trend to Perth, sparking local curiosity.
Natural Results: More people are moving away from overly filled or artificial-looking results. Rejuran focuses on improving the skin’s health and quality, which naturally enhances one’s appearance without altering their unique features.
Science-Backed Benefits: With its ability to address a wide range of concerns—from fine lines and wrinkles to pigmentation and acne scars—Rejuran offers something for everyone.
Minimal Downtime: Unlike more invasive procedures, Rejuran has little to no downtime, making it a practical choice for busy professionals and parents who can’t afford extended recovery periods.

The “Pillow Face” Trend is Fading…
One of the most significant shifts in the aesthetics industry is the move toward natural results. The “pillow face” look—characterized by overfilled cheeks and exaggerated features—is gradually falling out of favor.
People are realizing that less is more. Rejuran fits perfectly into this trend because it’s about working with your skin, not against it. It’s a treatment that enhances what you already have, rather than trying to create something artificial.
This shift is particularly appealing to clients in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, who are looking for solutions that age gracefully with them.
What to Expect During a Rejuran Treatment
If you’re intrigued by the idea of Rejuran, you’re not alone! Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect during the treatment:
Consultation: At Ocean Cosmetics, every treatment begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Gina and her team take the time to understand your skin concerns and goals.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort.
Injection: Rejuran is administered through a series of tiny injections using a fine needle. The process is quick and relatively painless.
Aftercare: There’s minimal downtime, but you may experience slight redness or swelling immediately after the procedure. This typically subsides within a day or two.
The results develop gradually over several weeks as your skin begins to repair and regenerate itself. Most clients notice improved texture, hydration, and radiance within the first month.
