In the stories of her personal profile on Instagram, Anitta shared with her followers the details of an aesthetic procedure in which she uses her own blood.
The beauty routine, somewhat curious, is called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), or, as it became popularly known, “vampire facelift”.
In the records published this Monday (3), the Brazilian says she went to Aventura, a city next to Miami, in the United States, for the treatment to be carried out.
“Remember I told you that I used to do a procedure that applies my blood to my face, to look like millions? So, today I’m going to make it and show it to you”, began the singer.
Then, Cassia Cardoso, beautician responsible for the treatment, appears explaining the step by step.
“Plasma is an autologous procedure, which stimulates all the cells you have to produce new cells, to renew. It’s something that helps renew the skin, skin color, remove spots and rejuvenate, “she says. “And that’s what I do here every month”, adds Anitta.
The first step is to draw the blood. Next, separate the red blood cells from the white blood cells, in addition to the platelet-rich plasma that is poor in the component. At the end, the application on the face.
Confessing to repeat the procedure in her intimate region, the singer says that the process, carried out with the help of needles, helps to make the areas more “smooth”.
However, before the bites, it is necessary to receive anesthesia through a face mask. In the intimate part, a “diamond mask”. “Whatever she does upstairs, she does downstairs,” she said, laughing.
daily use cream
In addition to the procedure, Anitta also took home a face cream, made with her blood, which must be used daily.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the month, the powerful had already shared with Internet users, during a live, that she used the product during her skincare routine.
“It was the girl from Miami who made the cream for me. I took blood, then they went through the machine to take the plasma and they made the cream for me […] This creminho is there in the fridge, because as it has part of my blood, if I don’t put it in the fridge, it spoils, it has a smell, and it’s not very nice”, she explained at the time.
What’s behind the “vampire facelift”?
A CNN Lucas Miranda, dermatologist member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, explains that the so-called PRP infusion is an aesthetic procedure that is still experimental in Brazil, not regulated by the Federal Council of Medicine or by Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) .
“The patient’s blood plasma is separated and concentrated to obtain a greater amount of platelets. Plasma is the liquid part of blood, while platelets consist of the cells involved in clotting and healing. This concentrated plasma is then reinfused into the skin via injections.”
Effects
As the specialist comments, one of the reasons for the treatment to continue at an experimental level in the country is precisely the lack of robust scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness.
“The expectation of those who perform it would be that the growth factors and other substances released by platelets in the plasma would stimulate collagen production, improve local blood circulation and contribute to tissue regeneration, which would result in improved texture. and general appearance of the skin”, he points out.
Finally, Lucas points out that there is a movement for the “vampire facelift” to be consolidated as a recognized medical specialty in the country.
“So far, the procedure is part of a line of medicine called Regenerative Medicine and is being evaluated by regulatory bodies. It is still necessary to wait”, concludes the professional.
