Would You Try Any Of These Bizarre Anti-Ageing Treatments?

Some people will do almost anything to look young. That’s why there are some very bizarre anti-ageing treatments on the market. Some may blame the youth-obsessed culture, where looking good is almost seen as more of a priority than wellness or wellbeing. Part of this is evident in the media, where women who are aged over 50 are removed from the public eye and replaced by more youthful public figures.

 

There are all kinds of anti-ageing creams on the market, but with such a wide variety on offer it can be difficult to work out which ones to choose. It can also seem that most of these creams are similar and don’t really have much of an effect, which is why more and more people are turning to extreme measures to keep them looking young.

 

According to a recent survey, for example, it was found that around 45 percent of women would be prepared to try a face mask made from a sheep’s placenta to keep them looking young. This survey asked women which of a variety of strange treatments they would be prepared to try if money were no object, and the results were surprising.

 

The placenta face mask was probably the most unusual item on the list, and it is made from stem cells which are harvested from the placenta of a sheep. These are reputed to boost the production of collagen, elastic fibres and glycoproteins. The process takes 75 minutes and is offered by select clinics across the UK.

 

In addition to the placenta facials, 41 percent of women said that they would try bee venom for anti-ageing, 39 percent said that they would try face masks made from their own blood, 38 percent would allow leeches to crawl over their face, 30 percent would try a facial made from sperm, 25 percent would try a bird poo facial and 15 percent would try a urine therapy.

Would You Try These Bizarre Anti-Aging Treatments?

When it comes to anti-aging, people are often prepared to go to extraordinary lengths. As long as the treatment does not damage their wellness and has some kind of positive (or reported positive) effect on their wellbeing, they are prepared to try it, no matter how strange or unlikely it might seem.

These odd treatments can range from things like sperm facials, to urine therapy and placenta face masks. Bee venom has also been used in some types of facial products. In a survey, a group of women were asked which products they would be willing to try out, assuming that cost was not a factor. The results were quite interesting and amusing.

Placenta face masks: around 45 percent of the group would be willing to have a face mask used from the stem cells in a sheep’s placenta. These are thought to boost collagen and tighten loose skin.

Bee venom: around 41 percent of the group would try this treatment. It is supposed to smooth out wrinkles and to trick the skin into producing more collagen by producing a stinging feeling and causing the blood to rush to the area.

Vampire face masks: this is when blood is drawn out of your own body and then injected into your face, which in turn creates platelet-rich plasma. This removes fine lines, and around 39 percent of the group would be willing to try this.

Leeches: these have been used in the past by Demi Moore. The slimy creatures are placed on your face, and they then detoxify the blood. Around 38 percent of the group would try this.

Sperm facial: around 30 percent of the group would be willing to try this. Spermine, which is present in sperm, is rich in anti-oxidants and can prevent the skin from aging, as well as giving it a smoother texture.
