I really appreciate the influx of honest opinions from celebrities about cosmetic surgery. Now, more than ever, celebrities like Megan Fox, Kylie Jenner, and her mother Kris Jenner are helping to dispel assumptions and prejudice by letting us know about the work they’ve done, even though it doesn’t concern us as complete strangers or bystanders. And while some celebrities remain silent about the treatments they’ve tried (that’s their right), and others deny surgeries that seem nearly impossible to deny, I actually wholeheartedly believed Hailey Bieber recently when she said she was still refraining from getting Botox.
Bieber appeared on the latest episode of his podcast, In Your Dreams with Owen Seale, and the two spent a few minutes of the nearly hour-long episode discussing skin care and treatments. (Not for long, considering Bieber is the brains behind one of the most successful beauty brands.) Thiel asked the Lorde founder to pretend she wasn’t on the podcast and “tell me the truth” about what she’s doing, to which she responded, “Why would you lie?” Then she happily begins to list the treatments she has received.
“I’m just a big skin care fan, but I have a treatment that I really like,” she says. We begin with PRP (also known as platelet-rich plasma) and microneedling treatment. This treatment is also known as a “vampire facial” and is also used for hair removal. “I love PRP. PRP takes blood from your arm and spins it around.” This treatment has been proven to improve skin texture and tone by stimulating cell repair and increasing collagen.
Another blood-centered treatment she is working on is platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), also known as EZ gel. “I’ve done PRF, which is like, they take your blood, but they – it’s called EZ gel – and basically they heat it, and then they cool it, and they make the blood into a gel-like consistency,” she says. “And then you inject it. So I did it. I loved it.”
She further revealed that she used PRF to treat her nasolabial area and under her eyes. These areas are usually treated with hyaluronic acid-based fillers. “But it’s your own blood, and that’s what matters, I want to do something that you can trust to be from your own body,” Bieber says. Dermatologists Allure previously spoke to about PRF said there was limited data on its effectiveness and were skeptical that it would be as effective as hyaluronic acid fillers.
