In the case of the escargot beauty treatment, it has been noted that the secretion of snails has anti-aging and rejuvenation properties.

In fact, essence of escargot is a popular ingredient in skincare products.
Offered by the Ci:z Medical Group in Tokyo, the escargot beauty treatment starts out as an odd experience that gradually becomes cool and soothing.
