Trinny Woodall, the 52-year-old fashion expert and former What Not To Wear presenter, has disclosed the full extent of her beauty regime, which includes hormone supplements and 'vampire facelifts' involving injections of her own blood. In an interview with The Times Magazine, she described the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as 'the nirvana of treatments'.
The 'vampire facelift', also known as a 'Dracula facial', involves drawing blood from the arm, spinning it in a centrifuge to extract yellow plasma, and then injecting it into the face. This is intended to plump and firm the skin and improve scar regeneration. Woodall joins celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Anna Friel who have tried the procedure.
Beyond the vampire facelift, Woodall has had Botox for 17 years, regular laser treatments for pigmentation, and uses various masks and creams. She also takes Philip Kingsley hair supplements, 6000mg of vitamin C daily, and hormone therapy under a New York doctor to manage menopause symptoms, including oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Woodall, who is dating multi-millionaire entrepreneur Charles Saatchi, admitted that her beauty regime is partly to counterbalance her smoking and high sugar intake. She said, 'I smoke and eat a lot of sugar, which is really bad for you, but I’m not going to give that up because I kind of love it, so I use layers and layers of products to counterbalance it.' She maintains her figure through walking and Pilates, avoiding the gym and dieting.
Having reinvented herself as a beauty vlogger with 180,000 Instagram followers, Woodall promotes treatments like derma-rolling and micro-needling. She insists her regime is for herself, not for Saatchi or her followers, stating, 'I don’t want to wake up and look in the mirror and look dehydrated and tired. It’s psychosomatic: if I don’t look tired, I’m not tired.'
