No one is surprised these days by the news of revolutionary and sometimes even wild procedures that can do wonders for the skin. Not so long ago, the Internet was filled with materials about facial rejuvenation with bee venom. And if the mere thought of such a procedure makes you cringe, what can you say about the new dermatological practice that came from Japan, – snail therapy?
Snail therapy: a slippery experience
Yes, we're talking about those creepy, slimy little creatures you see in the summer after a heavy rain. Many people find them disgusting, but according to Clinical Salon specialist Yoko Minami, live snails can greatly improve our skin.
"Our clinic is the only place in Japan where you can get a snail rejuvenation treatment. Snail mucus can help restore skin cells and rejuvenate it."
The treatment, known as the Celebrity Escargot Course, lasts 60 minutes and costs $200!
During this hour, 5 snails fed only organic food are placed on the patient's face and begin to crawl over it. The specialist constantly monitors and moves the snails so that they do not get too close to the mouth, eyes or nostrils.
After that, the specialist does a facial massage, applies a mask and a special cream. What do you think is the secret ingredient of this cream? Of course, snail slime.
More traditional version
If the idea of having snails crawling all over your face shocks or terrifies you, don't worry, there are many other skin rejuvenation treatments that a qualified dermatologist can help you find.
