Snake Venom Facial as an aesthetic procedure is creating quite a buzz. Salon India speaks exclusively with Dr Rinky Kapoor, Cosmetic Dermatologist & Dermato-Surgeon at The Esthetic Clinics in Mumbai, to understand the process and technology used
About: It is a facial done with specific products containing ingredients called Peptides. In reality it is not snake venom, but a synthetically prepared solution. While the venom of a snake can paralyse muscles if it enters the body and lead to death, products used in a snake venom facial have properties similar to the temple viper snake venom. During the facial, the muscles are temporarily paralysed in order to relax them and smoothen out the skin. It works like a mild Botox treatment, but is an alternative for those looking for a painless way to get rid of wrinkles and lines.
Process and technology: The synthetic form of the peptide called Waglerin1 from snake venom block the receptors on cells in the muscle and stops them from taking up the salts they need to help them contract. The result is that the muscles are temporarily relaxed and give a youthful look. This facial has anti-ageing properties and rejuvenates the skin to impart a radiant glow.
