A woman, labelled as ‘Human Barbie’, has undergone an extreme beauty treatment that has left fans comparing her to Demi Moore’s character in The Substance.
Marcela Iglesias is no stranger to having a controversial procedure.
The 47-year-old recently hit headlines for sharing how she intends to get a blood transfusion from her own son, Rodrigo, 23, in an effort to stay forever young.
Now, the mum has splashed out £9,000 to get someone else’s fat injected into her face and body.
Known as Renuva, the injectable is derived from donor tissue, which is stripped down, so that it only contains occurring proteins, collagen and growth factors.
After discussing the treatment on a podcast, Marcela’s listeners went wild when she mentioned The Substance.
Moore plays the fictional celeb, Elisabeth Sparkle, who injects herself with a mystery drug to see the creation of a younger version of herself.
“As of late, people love to compare me to Elisabeth from The Substance,” Marcela, who lives in Los Angeles and has 1.2 million followers, told Need To Know.
“I don’t mind because, to me, the movie is about bringing back the best version of yourself.
“I’m really excited about this new treatment because it is the most natural way to restore your own fat.
“It has made me look more youthful and plump.
“People are tired of fillers because they know that it is just filler – it doesn’t restore anything.
“This is the future of beauty”.
Marcela – who has spent over £89,000 on cosmetic treatments over the years – has been injecting her face, hands and legs with the substance to add volume to her skin.
And the social media star couldn’t be happier with her results.
Marcela, who is originally from Buenos Aires, said: “I have done two treatments on my legs, one on my temple and one on my hands.
“It is amazing how I can see my own body reacting to it.
“It has truly been a game-changer for me, as I can look like myself again without going under the knife or adding fillers.
“The procedure doesn’t require any recovery time and you’ll see the results right away – it’s like magic in an hour.”
The fat costs around £840 per 1.5ml.
Depending on the area where the fat is injected, 3ml is typically administered per session.
Marcela – who also runs her own business – previously revealed that she spends £780 a month on IVs, wellness injections, vitamins and creams.
As well as undergoing various treatments, she follows a strict diet and daily routine.
The influencer has previously talked about how others are shocked to learn that she has a son in his early 20s.
She added: “People say I am far too young to be a mum.
“They constantly ask me what I do to stay looking so young.
“It feels great that people recognise the work that I have put in.”
