Susannah Constantine, 63, unveils her incredible skin transformation as she undergoes her first 'tweakment' in 17 years - a decade after going sober
The TV personality, 63, showcased the results of a bio-stimulating laser treatment after having the 'realisation' that looking after her skin wasn't just about her vanity now she is reaching 'midlife'.
The What Not To Wear star's fresh new look comes a decade after she went sober following a long battle with alcoholism.
Susannah claimed her friends have noticed the difference in her quality of skin after trying Alma's £350 Harmony Bio-Boost.
She said: 'Reaching mid-life, I realised that looking after your skin isn't just about vanity, it's about vitality. I want my skin to reflect how I feel inside: strong, bright and healthy.
'Even my friends started noticing the difference - not asking if I'd had anything done, just saying how fresh and well I looked.
'That's when I knew this was something special. I also noticed that I didn't need to wear much makeup in my day-to-day life.'
The Harmony Bio-Boost treatment is believed to be suitable for those 'looking to address skin laxity, acne, pigmentation and wrinkles'.
Susannah's first 'tweakment' in 17 years comes after she tried Botox 'a long, long time ago'.
The television personality's latest procedure comes after she explained that a prescription drug her mother took when pregnant had a permanent impact on her looks.
Baring her teeth for the camera in October 2018, Susannah exposed the 'grey tombstone' teeth she was left with from birth.
The fashion guru explained how her teeth were permanently discoloured by antibiotics her mother took in pregnancy.
She said the drug tetracycline – commonly handed to mothers-to-be in the 60s and 70s – has had a lasting effect on her looks.
In a candid video posted to Instagram at the time, Susannah took the brave decision to show her teeth while asking for advice on how to deal with the problem.
The former What Not to Wear host told her 21,000 followers: 'When my mother was pregnant with me she took an antibiotic called tetracycline.
'And one of the side effects of taking that antibiotic was that the foetus would develop grey teeth throughout their life and as you can see my teeth are discoloured.
'If anyone knows of a solution to these grey tombstones I would be really grateful to hear what you have to say.'
The antibiotic, designed to fight bacterial infections, was once prescribed for everything from sore throats and skin conditions to urinary tract infections.
But studies later discovered that when taken by pregnant women, the drug can become calcified in the permanent teeth developing under their baby's gum line, discolouring them for good.
Later, when the baby teeth grow out, the tetracycline-stained ones move into position and reveal themselves. The unsightly stains can appear as yellow, grey or brown marks as well as white spots and translucent edges, with few solutions available.
Susannah said in a video called 'Teeth! Oh what to do?', which has been viewed almost 4,000 times: 'You can't get them bleached because what happens is the white parts get whiter and so the grey parts look greyer.
'And I don't want to get them bonded or veneered because I don't like fake-looking teeth.'
One fan replied: 'My hubs has the same thing from his mum taking antibiotics when pregnant. He will never smile for a photo properly, lips always shut.'
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society said tetracycline is no longer given to under-12s or pregnant women except in rare cases.
It is still used to treat acne and the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia.
Susannah's mother Mary Rose, who suffered from manic depression, died in 2008 aged 76.
The TV star has described how the mental illness had an effect on her childhood as her mother was 'in and out of psychiatric hospitals' and made 'several suicide attempts'.
Revealing a family history of struggles with booze, Susannah previously said on the on the ADHD Chatter podcast: 'I was born an alcoholic, my mum was an alcoholic and my grandmother was an alcoholic.
'I just say that alcoholism is a genetic disorder and it's a mental disorder – drinking too much is a symptom and you might have the same gene.
'Just be aware and if you're worried, I've been through it, I've got the medal, come to me.'
Susannah, who is married to Sten Bertelsen, was very much an 'It Girl' in the 1980s, and even dated Princess Margaret's son, David, Viscount Linley for eight years.
Susannah worked in America for designer Giorgio Armani before working for John Galliano in London.
The presenter met long-term pal Trinny Woodall in 1994 and they began writing a weekly fashion column, Ready To Wear, and founded Ready2shop.com.
They became famous for co-hosting the popular TV series What Not To Wear from 2001 to 2005.
She tied the knot with businessman Sten in 1995 and they share three children Cece, 20, Esme, 23, and Joe, 24, and have spent their three decades travelling the world.

Police have ‘proportionate and considered' plan ahead of Glasgow Kneecap gig
Police Scotland say they have a 'proportionate and considered policing plan' ahead of Kneecap's gig in Glasgow, which replaces their cancelled slot at the TRNSMT festival. Kneecap were axed from the line-up of TRNSMT in the city amid a row over an investigation by counter-terror police into rapper Mo Chara, who is accused of terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage. The satirical Belfast rap group, who perform in Irish, have been outspoken critics of the war in Gaza and said the prosecution – following an investigation by the Met Police – is linked to their views on Palestine. TRNSMT cancelled Kneecap's performance at the end of May over safety concerns by Police Scotland. On Tuesday, they are set to perform a sold-out gig at the O2 Academy in Glasgow, days before TRNSMT begins on Friday. As well as Kneecap, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are also performing in Glasgow on Tuesday. Police Scotland say they will aim to minimise disruption in the city. In May, First Minister John Swinney urged for TRNSMT to cancel the performance on July 11, saying that 'organisers of TRNSMT have got to consider that issue.' Mo Chara, also known as Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the name Liam O'Hanna by the Metropolitan Police in May, over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig, and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. The furore led to calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch for Glastonbury to cancel a performance from the Belfast rappers on June 28, which the festival organisers did not do. Despite being cancelled from TRNSMT, Kneecap are still due to perform scheduled shows at 2000trees rock festival on July 10, Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15 and Belfast Vital on August 29 – nine days after O hAnnaidh's next court appearance. At the last hearing, prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said: 'It's not about Mr O hAnnaidh's support for the people of Palestine or his criticism of Israel. 'He's well within his rights to voice his opinions and solidarity, as is anybody else. 'The allegation in this case is a wholly different thing and deals with a video recording showing that, in November of last year, Mr O hAnnaidh wore and displayed the flag of Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'.' Kneecap have said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. Superintendent Paul Douglas said: 'We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday July 7 2025. 'A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow.'

Hollyoaks reveal dramatic moment iconic character returns after one year in unexpected twist
Hollyoaks has revealed the dramatic moment that Tom Cunningham returned to the Channel 4 soap. The iconic character, portrayed by Ellis Hollins, 25, departed the soap in September last year, having played the role of Tom since 2003. Tom and sister Cindy Cunningham had fled the village after discovering her partner Dave Williams (Dominic Power) was none other than mysterious gangster Blue. And in a first look at Tuesdays episode, fans got a glimpse of Tom's return to the show after a once year absence - however, there's an unexpected twist as he's currently behind bars. In the clip, Tom is seen in prison alongside fellow inmate Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey), who had received a visit from Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson). Ste and Rex are seen discussing Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix), but little do they know, Tom is in earshot, and his interest is piqued when he hears the name of his former arch nemesis. Tom consequently gets in touch with Donny Clarke (Louis Emerick), offering up information on Clare. However, Tom later finds himself in danger after Rex is pressured by Clare to murder Tom in prison. In a tense scene in the prison yard, Tom appears isolated and vulnerable, leaving ex with an opportunity to strike. But it remains to be seen whether Rex will succeed or if Tom manages to escape his clutches. Clare made a shock return from the dead last month and as longtime fans will know, she has a long and dark history with Tom. The twisted character tormented Tom as a child and attempted to con his big brother and guardian, Max Cunningham. Viewers will just have to wait and see whether the two characters will finally come face-to-face. Meanwhile, Hollyoaks is gearing up to mark its 30th anniversary this October with a huge month of celebrations. In the clip, Tom is seen in prison alongside fellow inmate Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey), who had received a visit from Ste Hay ( Kieron Richardson ) Viewers will just have to wait and see whether the two characters will finally come face-to-face Show boss Hannah Cheers teased that a signature Hollyoaks stunt is already in the works as she claimed you can't do a Hollyoaks commemoration 'without some kind of spectacle'. She also revealed a huge battle between two Hollyoaks titans will take centre stage for October. Having recently returned from the dead to the village after 12 years, Clare Devine is back, and she's set to clash against serial killer Jez Blake in the run-up to the big anniversary.

Real Housewives of Sydney star Victoria Montano has once again bragged about her wealth during a luxurious trip to St. Tropez with her family Victoria also modelled several Dolce & Gabbana ensembles. Obviously a favourite designer in the socialite's wardrobe, she wore five outfits by the designer, totalling nearly $17,000. One picture even showed Victoria matching in Dolce & Gabbana with her young daughter. Also worth mentioning is her array of Hermès bags, which the socialite is known to collect. In one picture, she could be seen wearing a green mini Kelly, which retails for a whopping $29,000, and in another she wore a brown Kelly which can cost around $28,000. 'South of France done for another year - always my absolute fav,' she bragged in the post's caption.

'Which one is your fav?' she asked her 32,800 followers. Victoria and her fellow Real Housewives of Sydney castmates came under fire in June after their cringeworthy display of wealth went viral in a social media clip. In the footage, Victoria and RHOS stars Krissy Marsh, Victoria Rees and Matty Samaei were seen flaunting their lavish - and very expensive - designer outfits. 'Back door fashion, I'm wearing Nookie,' Krissy told fans, as she showcased her plunging cream mini dress from the label. 'I'm in (Victoria) Beckham and Zadig & Voltaire,' Victoria Rees chimed in while parading around in her fiery red blazer paired with a black shirt and jeans. Matty Samaei also showcased her designer leopard print dress, but it was Victoria Montano's part which angered most. Dior, Valentino and a Hermès bag! It's called Montano money,' she bragged, as she strutted around in a pair of tiny Daisy Dukes, a bralette underneath a silky shirt and stilettos. The clip sparked backlash from followers who criticised the socialites in the comments. 'If you have to name your labels, you're classless,' one person sniped. 'What's with the comment "Montano money?" Ridiculous,' a second added. 'Look so cheap for rich girls,' another wrote, as a fourth asked: 'Why behave like that?'
