Bee venom facials originated in ancient times, but gained modern popularity when celebrities like Kate Middleton endorsed them.

Bee venom, also known as apitoxin, is collected from live bees. It contains compounds like melittin, which are said to have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

DHA is also an essential component of the retina, making fish oil beneficial for maintaining good vision and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Advocates claim bee venom facials can stimulate collagen production, improve blood circulation, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

During the facial, the bee venom is applied topically and may cause a mild tingling sensation. This sensation is often attributed to increased circulation and skin tightening.

Bee venom facials can be tailored to individual skin types and concerns, providing a personalized luxury skincare experience.

The Bee Venom Facial stands as one of the most extravagant beauty indulgences globally, commanding a price tag of approximately Rs 50000 per session when sought at specialized dermatology clinics.

While many enthusiasts swear by the benefits of bee venom facials, skeptics question their efficacy and ethical implications, particularly regarding the welfare of bees and the sustainability of harvesting venom.

Bee venom facials are typically offered at high-end spas, wellness centers, and specialized skincare clinics, making them more accessible to those willing to splurge on luxury skincare treatments.
