Desperate to grow your hair quicker? Salmon sperm might be the answer: Bizarre wrinkle-defying trend is now being used to stimulate the scalp (but it'll cost you £400!)
From Stanley Tucci to Terry Crews, some men have made baldness their signature style. But if you're not so keen to say goodbye to your luscious locks just yet, perhaps it's time to consider injecting your scalp with salmon sperm. For years advocates have claimed the wrinkle-defying treatment—known medically as polynucleotides—offers a 'natural' alternative for face 'tweakments' such as Botox and filler. Now experts say it can stimulate body cells to regenerate tissue and 'promote the growth of healthier hair'. MailOnline has found clinics in the UK offering the treatment to men and women for £400. The treatments use purified and sterilised DNA molecules extracted from salmon or trout sperm, known as polynucleotides, which have anti-inflammatory effects. When polynucleotides are injected into human skin, fibroblasts are activated. Fibroblasts are stretchy molecules found in skin that help to maintain the structural framework of the tissue. As we age these fibroblasts decrease. So, when the polynucleotides are injected under the eyes, in the cheekbones or in the neck, it theoretically 'rejuvenates' the skin. South Korea's aesthetics sector has been using the treatment for over a decade, and it's now gaining popularity among Western clients. Dr Gizem Seymenoglu, an aesthetician and hair loss specialist at Longevita Hair Transplant clinic in London said: 'A shallow injection of 1mm depth will rejuvenate the scalp by boosting collagen production, but it will not reach the hair follicles or activate them. 'For salmon sperm injections to be truly effective for your hair, they need to be injected at a depth of 3 to 4 mm. 'But of course, adjustments might be necessary depending on the thickness of a person's scalp.' Most people are advised to undergo a course of three or four treatments, visiting their practitioner regularly, roughly every fortnight or four weeks depending on their current state of hair loss. Each treatment lasts around half an hour, but, as with any medical or aesthetic treatment, it is not without its risks. Known side effects can include minor bleeding, bruising, discomfort and headaches. While hair loss is usually associated with ageing, dermatologists have said they are increasingly seeing younger men seeking help for the problem. Some going to the extreme, and expensive length, of getting hair transplants. It's estimated that around a quarter of men in their 20s show signs of balding — but by the age of 50, that figure rises to 85 per cent of men. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss in men — also known as male pattern baldness — and is believed to affect around 40 to 50 per cent of men worldwide. It causes a receding hairline at the front and a bald patch on the crown of the head which gradually gets bigger forming a distinct U-shape on the head. The condition is caused by a combination of genetic factors and levels of sex hormones which gradually lead to the permanent loss of hair follicles on the head. Patients can use the topical treatment minoxidil, sold as Rogaine, but this can be slow and does not work for everyone suffering from hair loss. Those who do not see improvements with minoxidil can also take the oral drug Finasteride, sold as Propecia, which works by decreasing the flow of testosterone. There are other tweakments available for treating hair loss, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which involves taking a vial of blood and, using a centrifuge, isolating the nutrient rich platelets. These are then injected back into the body—or in this case, scalp—to promote healing. According to Dr Seymenoglu, this is comparable to how salmon sperm injections work. She said: 'Just like platelet-rich plasma injections, salmon sperm injections can be used on the scalp, and, in fact, salmon DNA injections work in a manner similar to PRP. 'They won't hydrate or volumise your hair, but they will stimulate your body's own cells to regenerate tissue wherever they are injected. 'So, when these are used correctly on the scalp, they can stimulate hair follicles, accelerate the hair growth cycle and promote the growth of healthier hair.

‘Spirited and sumptuous': why Big Night is my feelgood movie
'Life is meals,' observed the novelist James Salter. Big Night, Stanley Tucci's spirited and sumptuous indie from 1996, is a film about one big meal that asks a few big questions about life, including: What is the cost of the American dream? What does food allow us to say to each other that words can't? And what right does Marc Anthony, of all people, have to deliver one of the most charming non-speaking performances in any movie since the silent era? Big Night follows two Italian immigrants who run a failing restaurant in 1950s New Jersey. Ambitious, high-strung Secondo (Tucci, practically hirsute) is the manager, while his brother Primo (Tony Shalhoub) is the madman in the kitchen, a purist who derides the local clientele as philistines and has begun to doubt the wisdom of coming to the US in the first place. A last-ditch opportunity to save the business arrives unexpectedly through the largesse of Pascal (Ian Holm), proprietor of a successful competing restaurant down the street, who seems to have it all figured out in this country ('Bite your teeth into the ass of life!' he exhorts Tucci's Secondo). Pascal wants to help the brothers – they are no threat to him – and so he arranges for them to host a dinner for the touring jazz star Louis Prima and his band. Secondo and Primo will be made men, if they can pull it off. At this point in the film, we are all clocked in and a day's work lies ahead. There are preparations to be made, ingredients to procure. And there is a guest list to be finalized and then worried over, a magnificent supporting cast that includes Secondo's sweetheart (Minnie Driver); his lover (Isabella Rossellini), who is also Pascal's sweetheart; and Primo's crush, a neighborhood florist (Allison Janney) who is more game for the evening than Primo realizes. All along, passing through the restaurant like an ethereal hipster out of Jim Jarmusch, is the brothers' near-silent helper Cristiano (Anthony), without whom, somehow, the whole movie would not work. The camera's attention to food in Big Night may be its greatest pleasure and greatest insight. We are invited to watch the penne rolled by hand and the red sauce ladled with tenderness. This hungry cinematography anticipates so much about the way we've come to look at food on screen, from documentaries including David Gelb's Chef's Table series to the award-winning show The Bear. Unlike a lot of The Bear, though, or other comedies that turn on a high-stakes dinner (Mrs Doubtfire and The Birdcage, for example), Big Night doesn't yield over much to anxious tension on the one hand or madcap hijinks on the other. This, to me, is what makes it feel so good. There are real stakes to this meal for these characters, but co-directors Tucci and Campbell Scott care enormously that you have a good time at their party. They never want you to refill your own glass. Take the sequence in the middle of the film in which Secondo, under the influence of a smooth car salesman named Bob (Scott) with a plaster cast on his hand, test-drives a Cadillac he will buy with money he doesn't have. It's hardly necessary to the plot but a perfect aperitif, this dudes-rock intermezzo with two joy-riders who are also the directors of the movie you are watching. When Secondo asks him how he got the cast, Bob replies: 'No idea.' Ma che importa – who cares? Later, once the records are spinning and the dancing starts, you recognize in time with the characters that the guest of honor isn't required for this party to be a success. The long take that ends the film, in the kitchen the morning after, shouldn't be over-described for readers who haven't seen it. Suffice to say, it is a key exhibit in the archaeology of Tucci's second act as an ambassador of Italian food, which began in earnest during lockdown with an Instagram video of him making a negroni – a shameless, filthy bit of pornography, the internet decided. Sex appeal aside, Tucci, with Scott and his co-writer, Joseph Tropiano, intuited something essential in Big Night about our appetite for food served on the big screen. More than that, he recognized how eager we are for entertainment that understands the importance of food in structuring and texturing the course of our lives. Isn't a good meal, especially a simple one, all you want after a long day and a big night? If life is meals, play on. Big Night is available to watch on Hoopla in the US and to rent digitally in the UK and Australia
