Celebrities share diverse experiences, highlighting the side effects of the procedure; understand!
This past Friday, the 18th, Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) announced the suspension of the manipulation, marketing, advertising and use of so-called “beauty chips”, also known as manipulated hormonal implants.
Celebrities like Flay, Deborah Secco, Marvvila, Juju Salimeni and Mariana Goldfarb have already publicly admitted to using these implants and shared their experiences with the aesthetic procedure.
What is it?
The “beauty chip” is a small implant, measuring up to 1.5 cm, made of silicone, which is inserted under the skin through a microincision. The amount of hormones present in the chip varies depending on the patient.
Considered a potential ally to improve physical disposition and alleviate the symptoms of menstruation, the use of the chip has generated controversy, with reports of benefits and side effects.
Pros and cons
The actress Deborah Secco revealed that he had significant improvements after using the implant, stating that his PMS symptoms, such as cramps and headaches, disappeared. In an interview with Gshow, he reports:
My libido increased, I became less lazy and my body responded quickly to exercise,” she said, who currently uses collagen bio-stimulators.
On the other hand, the singer Flay shared his negative experience on the Encontro program, mentioning adverse reactions to the implanted hormones.
The doctor said it might cause some pimples, but I had a lot more than that. My hair fell out a lot, I was irritated and I gained weight because of the swelling.”
The former BBB expressed regret over using the implant, classifying it as “extremely harmful” and warning: “It’s just harm, people! It has nothing of beauty, it is an “ugliness chip”.
The reason
Anvisa justifies the suspension of the sale and use of these manipulated hormonal implants because there is no registration with the agency and, therefore, it does not guarantee the quality, efficacy or safety of the products. The decision aims to protect the health of the population, as these implants can cause undesirable and serious side effects.
In addition to the suspension, Anvisa issued a warning to the population and health professionals about the main complications associated with the use of implants, which include elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke and cardiac arrhythmias.
