Leslie Ash, 65, shows off her youthful face as she opens about doing £4,500 'facelift' that 'made her look ten years younger'
Leslie Ash has opened up about doing a £4,500 non-surgical facelift that made her look 'ten years younger'.
The beloved BBC star, 65, showed off the jaw-dropping results of the revolutionary method, which she has been secretly doing for the past eight months.
'My friends think I've had a facelift - but I've definitely not gone under the knife,' the Holby City favourite told candidly as she praised the avant-garde NeoGen treatment.
Leslie admitted to being a bit of a 'wuss' when it comes to pain but said the NeoGen treatments were bearable - in a move which comes 23 years after she famously underwent botched lip fillers and inspired the term 'Trout Pout'.
On the new treatment, she said: 'It's quite a weird sensation, I was lathered in numbing cream for half an hour before having the treatment. It's non-invasive but you can feel it, you can put up with it though.
'You might be a bit red for a day or two afterwards, like you've had a bit too much sun, but after that it's just amazing, your skin just feels so much tighter and you start to notice your pores closing,' she finished.
As she looked at some before and after treatment pictures, she was quick to point out: 'The difference is really noticeable, and what's really blown my mind is my jawline, it's so obvious that it has lifted.
'Also, my eyes look so much better, they were hooded before and now you can see my eyes are completely a different shape.
'Then you come to the texture of my skin, and reduction of my pores, now it looks soft as anything and the colour is uniform, so there are four major things that are demonstrably improved.'
The Happy Apple icon was aiming for a natural result rather than resorting to plastic surgery in order to maintain her natural beauty.
'It doesn't look fake or overdone at all. It's just me, but a much better version of me,' Leslie told.
'My skin feels tighter and more plump, and the overall texture and tone is so much better.
The actress added proudly: 'I can definitely say I look like I'm in my mid 50s, so yeah, I'm happy with that, ten years younger.'
'Also, my eyes look so much better, they were hooded before and now you can see my eyes are completely a different shape. Then you come to the texture of my skin, and reduction of my pores,' she said
Leslie, also accompanied her treatment with a regular aid of supplements Ameri-Vita.
'I'm absolutely going to keep having these treatments,' she assured.
'The results are so good, I can't imagine stopping now.'
NeoGen Plasma treatments are available at Dr Martin Kinsella's Re-Enhance clinic in Hale, Cheshire, and also in London.
