A famous television presenter shared a step-by-step rundown of her extensive skin-rejuvenation journey from start to finish. The highly effective process addressed multiple signs of aging without invasive surgery, and the remarkable before-and-after images speak for themselves.
“I’ve aged badly,” Ulrika Jonsson, 58, confessed in an Instagram video. “It hit really hard, actually.”

The Swedish-British presenter has been open about her love for heavy tanning and sun exposure, but the years of not properly protecting herself from UV radiation were beginning to show.
“Up until last year, I had largely given up on my face,” she admitted on Instagram. “I had learned to accept the consequences of years of sun exposure because I didn’t realize there was anything I could do about it. Then @defineclinic came along.”

At Define Clinic, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Benji Dhillon created a personalized treatment program tailored to Jonsson.
“Every treatment was carefully selected to target skin quality, rejuvenation, and long-term skin health,” he wrote.

Over six months, Jonsson underwent an array of treatments. While the actual cost of her treatments is unknown, the series of procedures she underwent would total to approximately £16,000–£17,000 (approximately $21,118–$22,431 USD), Dr. Dhillon told Get the Gloss.
To minimize the appearance of wrinkles, her injection regimen included biostimulator injections, Jalupro for hydration, hyaluronic acid dermal filler, and wrinkle-relaxing injections.
In addition, she received polynucleotide therapy, also known as a salmon sperm facial.

To address sun damage, which can cause discoloration and hyperpigmentation, Jonsson underwent laser skin resurfacing. The process included the BBL Sciton, a laser that stimulates cell growth, and MOXI, a laser that helps with sunspots and aims to reduce the signs of aging caused by overexposure to harsh UV rays.
Her treatment plan also incorporated Erbium, an ablative laser that reduces unevenness caused by UV damage and can minimize deeper wrinkles.

To top it all off, Jonsson underwent High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), which tightens the skin by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production.
The knife-free transformation was gradual, but in six months, the results were noticeable.

In before-and-after photos posted on Instagram by Dr. Dhillon, Jonsson’s skin was visibly more radiant, the appearance of her wrinkles had diminished, and the sunspots on her face were almost gone.

“I think historically, societally, women have been expected to go into old age quietly. And I refuse to do that,” Jonsson said, adding that for her, the goal was not to look 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,” Jonsson said.

Six months into the treatments, the lines around Ulrika Jonsson's mouth were visibly diminished.

In addition to the clinical treatments, Jonsson also changed her lifestyle habits and implemented a new skincare regimen to maintain her radiant results.
“I am beyond thrilled with my new skin and the reflection that now meets me in the mirror every day,” she wrote of her results.
