NBA legend Lamar Odom left social media stunned after undergoing a bizarre anti-ageing treatment.
Odom, like many of his fellow retired basketball players, is doing his best to fight off Father Time and stay as youthful-looking as possible.

And the former Los Angeles Lakers star is going to extreme lengths to keep his skin looking nice and taut.
Odom, 44, has incorporated SALMON SPERM facials into his anti-ageing protocols.
The procedure sees patients receive a series of tiny injections on their skin courtesy of micro-needles, which are filled with Rejuran salmon sperm DNA.
The procedure isn’t cheap, with patients having to fork out over $3000 to have it done.
It’s unclear if Odom paid for the treatment or was given a freebie by Dr Robert Dorfman, who specialises in anti-ageing procedures.
The Beverly Hills doc regularly shares videos of his treatments with his 475,000 Instagram followers, including the salmon DNA facial.
An accompanying caption for one of his videos, read: “Our viral Salmon DNA facial is one of our most popular treatments for a reason!
“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.”
According to TMZ, Odom received the treatment from Dorfman in a bid to give himself “a more youthful look”.
Fans joked that Lamar Odom learned the treatement from his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian[/caption]
Footage of Odom having the treatment went viral on social media and received a slew of comments from stunned viewers.
One said: “What, what, what?”
Another said: “Lamar Odom getting painted with fish *** was not on my bingo card for today.”
And another said: “Since the Kardashians, he hasn’t been the same.”
One remarked: “Disgusting.”
Another chimed in: “He will be swimming upstream anytime now.”
What is a salmon sperm facial?
THE SALMON Sperm facial has taken the beauty industry by storm following Kim Kardashian’s admission to having one.
Beauty and anti-ageing experts around the world have been flooded by requests for it since Kim revealed she had one during an episode of ‘The Kardashians’.
The treatment consists of an intense micro-needling of the skin with Rejuran salmon sperm DNA.
Studies have shown salmon sperm has several health benefits for humans, with the regeneration of skin cells being chief among them.
The reported anti-inflammatory properties of salmon sperm are also said to help combat the harmful and ageing effects of UV rays.
The treatment is an expensive one, with patients having to shell out fees in the region of $3000 to have it administered.
Kim Kardashian isn’t the only Hollywood A-lister to have had the facial, with ‘Friends’ star Jennifer Aniston revealing last August she’s also hopped on the bandwagon.
One jokingly claimed he must have learned the skincare routine from his former wife, Khloe Kardashian.
They wrote: “Khloe Kardashian taught him that.”
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.
