A treatment WITH BITE!
Snakes alive! Slither into a salon and get the latest celebrity craze
Not keen to be pricked an and punctured in the quest for a wrinkle-fr wrinkle-free complexion? Enter synthetic snake ven venom.
Magen Darel, guru of skincare across Australasia, is offering the ViperLift Bio Treatment, $300, from his new Origani flagship store in Auckland.
Loved by celebrities, including Katie Holmes, Debra Messing and Cheryl Cole, the primary ingredient is synthetic snake venom – applied as a non-surgical, entirely pain-free alternative to Botox.
What are the key ingredients?
The T he key ingredients ingred are synthetic s ynthetic y snake venom, peptides, vitamin A and hyaluronic acid. The synthetic snake venom replicates that of South-east Asia’s Temple Viper, and acts like a natural, nonsurgical Botox for the whole face. Hyaluronic acid holds moisture thousand times more than water, which supports skin becoming more supple and soft. It also reduces redness and wrinkles. The peptides and vitamin A help rebuild and renew the cells.
What does the treatment entail?
We double-cleanse the skin with a gentle cleanser and exfoliate using a thermal/ manuka honey peel. We then use red-light therapy to help improve blood circulation and promote t the production of collagen. T Then the ViperLift Bio mask i is applied for 15 minutes. T The mask gets quite warm w when it’s activated. After t that is cleansed off, we a apply a concentrated s synthetic snake venom s serum to mimic the effects of a peptide found in the venom of a Temple Viper snake, which works to relax the skin muscles used for facial expressions that cause wrinkles.
Who should get it?
We recommend it for those aged 28-plus, who have sun-damaged, dehydrated, saggy or stressed skin, or have fine lines and wrinkles they want to treat.
What kind of results can we expect?
The synthetic snake venom prevents full movement of muscles for a couple of weeks – and smooths wrinkles and fine lines. Combined with the other ingredients, the ViperLift Bio treatment leaves skin firmer, hydrated and lifted. You will see immediate results and, used over time, it is a very effective antiageing treatment.
