Weiredest Beauty Therapy

  Leech Therapy

Leech Therapy as a beauty treatment is available only at a few specialized beauty clinics across the world. The process involves attaching leeches to the bare skin for about two hours so that they can release enzymes into your bloodstream, improving your circulation and leaving you completely bitten.  Leech therapy has been used a medicinal cure for centuries but only recently has made its foray into beauty treatment.

 

 

Snail Secretion Skin Cream

Snail Serum is used in a number of different beauty products as its powerful biological properties are said to help relieve skin conditions such as acne, as well as reducing wrinkles and improving dull complexions.  It is an organic natural ingredient which is taken pure from live snails (without harming them), mostly in laboratories in Chile. 

 

Pigs Trotters Collagen Cuisine

This one is neither for the vegetarians nor the squeamish out there.  This unconventional anti-aging trend started in Japan but it quickly spread to New York. It involves the physical consumption of collagen-rich pig’s feet to get rid of wrinkles and ensure smooth, youthful skin. "Collagen helps your body retain moisture," explains Himi Okajima, the owner of a chain of restaurants specializing in collagen cuisine in Japan. "Your hair and skin will look better, but it's not just for looking beautiful now. If you begin eating collagen in your thirties, you will look younger in your forties."

 

Bull Semen Hair Conditioner

This may sound like something out of a nightmare but it’s a reality in Knightsbridge, London. Hari’s hairdresser’s offers their clients organically produced bull semen with the root of protein-rich plant katera to massage into their hair as part of a deluxe blow-dry.  The owner Hari Salem states that “the semen is refrigerated before use and doesn’t smell”. Well, that’ll make you feel better, if the smell was your biggest problem about this entire procedure.

 

Placenta Face Cream

This peculiar face cream is made from sheep placenta protein extract, also known as living cell therapy. According to the manufacturers of this treatment, “the placenta is known to improve metabolic processes, accelerate tissue regeneration, and stimulate immunity.” Madonna and Eva Longoria are rumored to be fans.

It has won an £100 million contract in China and is endorsed by Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
