A skin care clinc in town promises to wipe out wrinkles and creases from sagging skin with collagen facials but the centre itself could do with a makeover

The Collagen facial at Berkowits promised treatment for reducing laugh lines and those worry lines what appear as wrinkles apart from moisturising the skin and giving it an instant glow.

Before we get on to the beauty fix, this is what collagen is and does. A natural protein, its function is to support the structure of all of the body's cells. Collagen makes upto 75 per cent of skin. As one gets older, the collagen diminishes and the skin starts looking tired.

The collagen facial at Berkowits uses collagen-based creams and serums to plump up and boost the skin. The treatment itself was relaxing but the ambience was definitely in need of a make-over. If you've been to any of of spas and salons in town, you will wonder why this place, which is over 20 years old hasn't had a facelift yet.

The rooms are cramped, and the bedsheets and gowns don't meet quality standards.


The collagen facial promises to keep firm and healthy-looking

The facial was the usual drill with a collagen mask and a massage. In some cases they also give heat therapy and electrodes, which stimulate and moisturise the cells.

This kind of facial may also be described as a firming facial, anti-ageing/age-defying facial or a face-lifting facial. The facial lasts between 60 to 90 minutes and includes cleansing and a moisturising mask.

But if you are looking for long-term benefits, then you would have to go back again and again or sign up for their 10 facials in a year, package.

Besides, facials, the clinic also offers clip on hair highlight extensions, inch loss treatments besides other such treatments to looking good.
