It comes after Shirley posed for a slew of gorgeous before and after snaps and said: ‘This is the best I’ve looked in years’ earlier this week. 

Since February last year the former dancer has visited one of the UK’s top cosmetic doctors, Dr Judy Todd, in a bid to rejuvenate her appearance without going under the knife.

Shirley said: ‘This time last year I was conscious that my jawline was sagging and hanging a bit, my skin looked dull and a bit lifeless and I wanted to get rid of all my spider veins and tighten up the skin on my neck and chest’.

‘I wanted to look my very best but I really didn’t want to go under the knife, so I thought I would try this alternative route.’ 

Shirley modelled a chic selection of outfits for the shoot as well going make-up free to showcase her newly taut skin and radiant complexion.  

The procedure included regular NeoGen Plasma treatments, which uses nitrogen plasma pulses which delivered controlled high temperatures deep inside the skin tissues to massively boosts collagen and elastin production.

Shirley went on to gush about the jaw-dropping results after admitting she wasn’t sure what to expect.

She said: ‘My jawline feels just that much sharper I feel like the skin is not sagging, it feels rejuvenated, it feels bright and clean, no little veins going on, no sun spots, all in all a really spectacular look.

‘I was a bit apprehensive at the start but I’m thrilled to bits with the results’.

‘Every woman in her 60s wants to feel confident, and I have to say at age 62, I now feel by far the best I’ve ever felt’. 

‘I feel like my skin is bright, it’s healthy, it looks great, I’ve got a much better jawline, so I’m very very excited that people will recognise the results.’

Shirley was also prescribed Obagi topical skincare to use every day, and took natural G Herbal supplements to help speed skin repair and boost the nutrient levels in the skin. 

In total over the ten months, Shirley’s treatments and topical skincare products cost around £5,000.

Female expert’s view: Costly but effective 

The  treatment Shirley Ballas had with Glasgow-based consultant anaesthetist and cosmetologist Dr Judy Todd is a relatively new procedure.

NeoGen Plasma was launched in the US in 2013, arriving in the UK in 2017. Dr Todd, who has been using it for a year, is one of several practitioners across the UK who now offer it.

You can have it as a one-off, high-intensity treatment, which takes an hour and costs approximately £3,000, but you would need about ten days of downtime indoors while your face recovers.

Spread out the treatment, as Shirley did, and there’s no downtime. Patients are often given the skin-repairing growth factor serum Anti-Age to help healing.

Low-intensity sessions cost around £750 each, and if you have your chest and hands treated too, each of those will add on another £250.

You’ll see Shirley’s patchy skin pigmentation has vanished, too. This was achieved using a prescription skincare regime called Obagi Nu-Derm, which costs around £500 for a six-week programme.
