Detail
he term “cosmetic leech” has become popular primarily because this size is frequently used for applications on the face and other visible parts of the body, especially in women and children.
It is also suitable for allergy-prone individuals when there is uncertainty about the body’s reaction to application and a lower-risk option is desired.
The small-cosmetic leech leaves only a tiny bite mark that heals very quickly. In most cases, no scar remains after application.
You can learn more about the use of different leech sizes and safe leech application in our training courses focused on hirudotherapy education.
