Actress Leslie Ash was left feeling insecure after a botched lip job but says a revolutionary non-invasive face-lift has transformed her appearance and given her back her confidence
Actress Leslie Ash claims she looks “ten years younger” and has regained her confidence thanks to a ground-breaking non-invasive facial treatment to enhance her appearance.
The 65-year-old star, renowned for her roles in Men Behaving Badly and Quadrophenia, has been discreetly undergoing cutting-edge NeoGen Plasma treatments, which she says have completely transformed her appearance, restoring the confidence she thought was lost forever. Leslie’s appearance was permanently altered after getting silicone lip injections at 40.
Over the past eight months, she has had six hour-long treatments with Dr Martin Kinsella at a clinic near her Chelsea home, and the skincare regime was so effective that some friends thought she’d had a facelift.
Leslie said: “People keep saying to me, ‘What have you done? You look amazing!’ One friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, is convinced I’ve had surgery because the change was so dramatic, but I can assure you I haven’t.
“For me, it was crucial to have a non-invasive treatment that achieves really natural-looking results,” reports the Mirror.
She added: “Even after all that research, I couldn’t be sure if NeoGen would work for me, but I decided to give it a go and after a few sessions I could start to see the improvement and now after six treatments I think I look 10 years younger.
“I’d seen that Shirley Ballas and Linda Lusardi had great results with NeoGen and I know Linda, so it was easy for me to check it out and know that it was a respected treatment with good outcomes.”
Before undergoing the treatments, Leslie confessed she was battling with the visible signs of ageing, which significantly affected her self-confidence.
“I was really quite depressed about how I looked,” she disclosed openly.
“I felt like I’d lost myself completely. I was doing quite a few Quadrophenia signings and events back then and so I was constantly having to look pictures of myself from 1979, when I was 18, and then when I looked in the mirror I just didn’t recognise myself anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to look 18 again, and I know that’s not going to happen, but I was looking tired and old, and my confidence was on the floor, so I decided to do something about it.”
Leslie openly confesses to being somewhat of a “wuss” when it comes to discomfort, but found the treatments tolerable. She explained: “It’s quite a weird sensation, I was slathered 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.”
Reviewing her before and after snaps at her flat in Chelsea, west London, Leslie added: “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.”
She is particularly chuffed with how natural the results appear. “It doesn’t look fake or overdone at all. It’s just me, but a much better version of me. My skin feels tighter and more plump, and the overall texture and tone is so much better. I can definitely say I look like I’m in my mid 50s, so yeah, I’m happy with that, ten years younger.”
