The 22-year-old influencer had a cosmetic procedure that, in theory, removes layers of skin and helps tissue regenerate
Influencer Viih Tube shared with fans the new treatment she is using to combat and eliminate the stretch marks she acquired while pregnant with her first daughter, Lua Di Felice. “It doesn’t hurt at all, I’m in shock,” the influencer said of the procedure.
Viih Tube is doing the treatment mainly on inner thigh and belly. Most of the stretch marks are still red, as Lua has just been pregnant: it is worth remembering that the baby she was born in April.
“I’m taking care of myself, I’ve done my hair, I’m taking care of my body and my health, I’m back to training and one thing I’m doing now is taking care of my stretch marks,” said the influencer 22-year-old in the video where he shared his personal profile stories.
Removes the first layer of skin
The treatment performed by Viih Tube was developed in 2013 by beautician Bárbara Aguiar and, for this reason, bears the name of its creator. As Bárbara herself explains, the technique “removes the first layer of skin, where the stretch marks are located, to cause the regeneration of new tissue. Then, the skin that has suffered the injury is replaced by new tissue. With the fibers organized, you can work with the color, treatment and rearrangement of the fibers”.

Only professionals who have a treatment can perform the protocol, as was the case with the beautician who attended Viih Tube. Only they have access to the products of the procedure, which is done manually, without the use of equipment, only with systemic needles.

According to the pro, yes. «Red stretch marks, called acute, which are superficial and thin, have an easier process to solve, but the problem is that, more often than not, patients seek help only when it is already white, also called chronicle».
The removal takes place through treatments indicated by professionals in the area who have knowledge and accreditation from their municipality to carry them out. “We are currently able to remove them with lasers, microneedling and radiofrequency and plasma jets, for example in the case of white or red stretch marks. pink or red, that is, to switch it from the chronic process to the acute one, so that it can then be treated conventionally, ”he clarifies.
How to prevent stretch marks?
One of the best ways to prevent new stretch marks is hydration, through the constant use of moisturizers and oils. “But it’s worth remembering that it’s crucial that the patient has a good daily water intake and a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients,” adds Thiago.
