Kardashian habits have seemed to rub off on NBA icon Lamar Odom.

Lamar is doing his best to remain young-looking following his retirement, especially now that he’s six years away from the big 5-0. The ex pro-athlete recently took a peculiar route to turn back time. Wanting to keep his skin firm and smooth, Lamar is incorporating salmon sperm facials into his beauty routine to slow down the aging process. Salmon sperm facials are quite self-explanatory.

The procedure involves patients getting a series of tiny microneedle injections on their skin.

The injection syringes contain Rejuran salmon sperm DNA. The exclusive skincare treatment is on the pricier side, costing over $3,000 to obtain. It hasn’t been confirmed if Lamar’s treatment came out of pocket, or if he was gifted it by Dr. Robert Dorfman, who specializes in anti-aging treatments.

Dr. Dorfman often takes to Instagram to share videos of his procedures with his 475,000 followers on the social media platform. Of the procedure videos he uploads, his salmon DNA facial is included.

“Our viral Salmon DNA facial is one of our most popular treatments for a reason,” a caption for one of the doctor’s videos read. “Rejuran promotes cell regeneration and leads to better skin elasticity, improved skin tone and texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and supports your skin barrier.”

Lamar opted for the salmon sperm facial procedure from Dr. Dorfman in an attempt to get “a more youthful look,” according to TMZ. After a video of the former Los Angeles Lakers player getting the salmon facial was shared on social media, it quickly went viral.

Several took to social media to shade Lamar for receiving the treatment, admitting that they didn’t expect him to be so willing to get such a controversial method.

One commented: “What, what, what?” While another wrote: “Lamar Odom getting painted with fish *** was not on my bingo card for today.” Someone else noted: “Since the Kardashians, he hasn’t been the same.”

One remarked: “Disgusting.” Another added: “He will be swimming upstream anytime now.” There was also someone who teased that Lamar must have learned about the beauty hack from his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian.

They wrote: “Khloe Kardashian taught him that.”

According to The U.S. Sun, “The salmon sperm facial is something Khloe’s sister, Kim Kardashian, is very familiar with as she revealed in an episode of ‘The Kardashians’ that she’d previously had the treatment.”
