Ulrika Jonsson Opens Up About Cosmetic Treatments to Combat Sun Damage
Television presenter Ulrika Jonsson has publicly disclosed the exact cosmetic work she has undergone on her face, following her recent revelation of a fresher complexion to fans. The 58-year-old star previously mentioned she was actively working to reverse "years of sun damage," as evidenced by snaps showcasing a visibly younger appearance.
Inside the Clinic: A Tailored Treatment Plan
In a new video shared on Friday afternoon, Ulrika provided an intimate look into her journey at London's Define Clinic. She held a consultation with clinicians before receiving a personalised treatment plan designed to address her specific skin concerns. Reflecting on her old complexion, Ulrika candidly stated, "I aged badly and really hard actually. Historically, societally, women have been expected to go into old age quietly and I refused to do that."
As footage played of the Swedish native undergoing various procedures, she expressed her excitement, saying, "I've not felt as excited about anything in years as excited as I do about this." She emphasised that her goal was not to look significantly younger, explaining, "It's not about looking younger, I don't want to look 21, I don't want to look 31, but I want to look the best that I can for my age."
The Comprehensive Procedure List
Ulrika's treatment regimen included a series of advanced cosmetic procedures:
- Biostimulators: Non-surgical treatments aimed at stimulating the body's natural collagen growth.
- Evolus Dermal Filler: Hyaluronic acid fillers used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face.
- Erbium & Jalupro: Laser resurfacing and injectable skin boosters, respectively, to enhance skin texture and hydration.
- BBL x MOXI: A laser treatment that removes pigmentation by exposing the skin to light, effectively damaging and rejuvenating it.
- Polynucleotides: DNA fragments extracted from trout or salmon sperm, injected into the skin to boost collagen and elastin production.
- HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound): A non-invasive surgical procedure using ultrasound energy to heat deep skin layers, stimulating collagen production for tightening and lifting the face, neck, and brow line.
Results and Reflections on Ageing
After completing her extensive treatment plan, Ulrika appeared beaming and visibly glowing, with an arguably younger look. She shared, "What I see now when I look in the mirror is new skin, fresh skin. I get a lot of compliments from people." In a candid post last week, she elaborated on her journey, writing, "Up until last year, I had largely given up on my face. I had learnt to accept the consequences of years of sun exposure because I didn't realise there was anything I could do about it."
She explained that visiting the clinic for a series of treatments helped improve her skin quality, noting, "For me, it was not about turning back the clock but it was the start of a relationship which had its basis in reassurance and realistic expectations." Ulrika added, "I am more than happy with laughter lines and wrinkles. They are, after all, the marks of a life lived." She concluded with a positive outlook, stating, "I am beyond thrilled with my new skin and the reflection that now meets me in the mirror every day. I think we need to remember that 'ageing' is natural, but above all else, it's a privilege. How we, as individuals, choose to age is our prerogative."
Other Recent Personal Updates
This cosmetic work is not the only procedure Ulrika has undergone recently. Last month, she revealed she was recovering from a treatment to remove varicose veins. Additionally, earlier this week, she shared a first look at her home makeover, showcasing a transformed TV room with a huge orange sofa, fringe scatter cushions, and an extravagant chandelier. She wrote on Instagram, "I’m so massively proud of this room which used to be a beyond-basic TV room where the Youngest Male Ungrateful spent his time gaming. I never sat in there. But when I knew I would remain in my beautiful house, I decided to turn it into something special."
