• The International Clinic of Biological Regeneration claims that the idea of live cell therapy began in 1931 after a woman was revived from a near death experience through use of steer stem cells, the idea to  inject face products with the same, active growth cells became clear.
• Today, most treatment creams are usually made from plant placenta or sheep placenta.
• “The main reason why human placenta is effective is because it is bio-identical to our own physiology,” British therapist Mona Mirza said. “Your own collagen starts to mimic the baby collagen and cells that are going in.”

• "Placenta is rich in proteins and iron as well as a host of other vital nutrients." explains nutritionist Susannah Lawson.
• The benefits the facial provides is almost endless; there are tons of  vitamins, minerals, amino acids, more than a hundred kind of enzymes, including growth inducing insulin.
• It's recommended to treat almost any skin problem from dull, uneven skin complexions, to eczema, psoriasis, acne, sun damage, and wrinkles or fine lines.

• The placenta facial  can be used as an in between maintenance in addition to your regular facials, so adding on this luxe treatment can help keep skin clearer and more radiant in the long run.
• Because of the powerful nutrients found in the creams and masks made from placenta cells, just a small amount goes a long way! Longer lasting products = longer lasting paycheck ladies.
• Cream is  usually massaged onto your face, including on the ear lobes and eyelids which are typically avoided during regular exfoliation and certain facials.
• Most treatments include a regular facial after the treatment of the placenta cream, so essentially you are able to get a TWO for ONE deal. Who in the world could pass that up?!
