Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas glowing as she shows off results of £5k facelift

Strictly Come Dancing star Shirley Ballas looked gorgeous as she showed off the results of her non-surgical facelift.

The 62-year-old 'didn't want to go under the knife' so opted for a series of non-surgical nitrogen plasma procedures to rejuvenate her face and neck.

She looked incredible in the before and after pictures and explained that she wanted a 'clearer jawline and wanted to get rid of my spider veins' as well as 'clearer looking skin'.

"I do believe I've achieved that," she explained. "When I first started in February, I really didn't know what to think or what was going to happen to my face or whether I was optimistic or not."

After six months of visiting Dr Judy Todd, she said she 'loved the results'.

She added: "I was so impressed with how little downtime I needed to take. I'm a very busy woman and I don't have time to sit for a whole week and wait for my face to heal.

"But there was so little downtime with this treatment that it really was a benefit to my way of life and non-invasive and a wonderful way to rejuvenate my face."

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

The TV star also had NeoGen nitrogen plasma treatments.

Dr Judy Todd runs clinics at the Cadogan Clinic in London and Synergy Clinic in Glasgow.

The star has been extremely busy in the last few months with the recent season of Strictly Come Dancing.

She's the head judge of the series, which saw Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał lift the glitterball trophy.

However, Shirley had to take time off work following a period of 'intense trolling' throughout the series.

In early December, she made the decision to not do pantomime and take a relaxing break because of the online bullies.

The 20th series of the dancing competition saw head judge Shirley receive a lot of flack online, thanks to a selection of Strictly viewers disagreeing with her comments towards some of the celebrity contestants.

"It’s the first time I’ve taken any time off – ever!" Shirley explains. "I’m taking two and a half weeks off, because of the immense amount of trolling I got throughout this series.

"I decided I wouldn’t do panto this year. Last time I did it, I got a letter hand-delivered to the theatre that was very off-putting."

Speaking to S magazine, the star adds: "I actually kept it. I don’t know why.

"So I’m going to take some time off and just get myself together for the new year."
