Forget Botox.
Snail slime is the hottest new thing celebrities are injecting into their face.
Itโs no joke.
Itโs a trademarked procedure called the โEscarGlowโ facial. It promises to reverse sun damage, brighten skin and reduce signs of aging.
โWhat we do first is mix the snail slime with a hyaluronic acid,โ said Dr. Matthew Schulman, a plastic surgeon. โWe put that on the face and we will microneedle on that.โ
And itโs not a painless procedure.
โItโs a really easy procedure,โ said medical aesthetician Amanda Sanzone. Patients โwill feel a little bit of pain but with the numbing cream weโve applied first itโs very bearable.โ
Expect your face to look red immediately after treatment. That typically goes away by the next day, and three to six treatments are recommended.
