Do these celebs never age? Well if you have a good look at their faces, you’d think not.
But, those clever surgeons from Transform have looked over the judges with their expert eye and now, they’ve revealed just how they manage to look so good.
First up, Mel B – who is looking incredible for 39 years old – and Anne-Marie Gillett, Non-Surgical Director at Transform Cosmetic Surgery, says it’s all down to a clever use of ‘injectable treatments'.
“It appears that Mel has gone through quite a transformation over the years. Looking at the most recent picture, her skin appears very taught, tight and mannequin-like. These are all classic tell tale signs of recent and long term use of injectable treatments.
“Comparing the recent picture to the one from 1996, it looks as if though she has lip filler in her top lip and in her nasal labial (line between her nose and lip).
“It also appears that she’s had some dermal filler product injected into cheeks, as they are looking slightly bumpy which shows that the treatment hasn’t settled down yet. You can also see that her eyebrows are more arched and higher than in the earlier image, this is probably due to regular Botox treatments. Although Mel B does look good for her age, she is in danger of starting to look overdone.”
So what about Louis Walsh?
Anne-Marie says: “Looking at these images, it appears that Louis, 62, has had a hair transplant, as he is no longer showing signs of male hair-loss, which we have seen in previous years, with his hairline having been restored.
“The more recent picture also seems to show signs of him having had a blepharoplasty, known as an eyelift, or eyebag surgery, which is a surgical procedure to remove and tighten the loose skin from the eye area. Common with men of his age, it results in a more youthful and fresher appearance.
“Louis’ teeth are now much straighter compared to back in 2004, and more aligned as a result of cosmetic dentistry, which has made a massive difference to his smile and overall look; he looks great for his age and the treatments seem to have really worked for him. His overall look is more polished and brighter, which translates well on camera, giving him a much fresher appearance!”
And the stunning Cheryl?
“Undeniably, Cheryl, 31, looks amazing and better than ever,” says Anne-Marie.
“Her forehead is line free, and her eyebrows are slightly more arched in the recent picture, both indicting that she is probably having injectable treatments. Regular use of Botox and a tidying up of the hair gives the appearance of this higher hairline.
“I’d say she’s probably had some subtle dermal fillers injected into the cheek area, providing a volumised and defined effect. This is usually best suited for women in their late 30s who want to achieve a more youthful look – however in Cheryl’s case, the minimal amount of product used has had a great effect and she looks fab as a result.
“What strikes me most is Cheryl’s teeth – it seems that she has had veneers and as such, her teeth are far more aligned and brighter now thanks to cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening than in the older pictures from 2002. They have most certainly been her best investment and have significantly altered her overall look.
“Fantastic care and minimal use of injectables has resulted in this polished and refined look. Cheryl looks her age and fantastic for it.”
And last, but not least, Simon Cowell, 54 – who Anne Marie says has incredibly taut skin for his age.
“Simon Cowell looks great for his age and what a head of hair he has! Looking at these pictures, it seems that he’s also been indulging in some non-surgical treatments of late.
“His skin is line free, shiny and taut – all tell tale signs of regular Botox use. It’s uncommon for a man of his age to have such a smooth appearance and you’d expect more wrinkles across the forehead and around the eyes. I would say he’s had too much product injected into the forehead area, as it looks very heavy in recent images.
“His cheeks are looking fuller, suggesting he’s had some dermal fillers injected. I’d also say that he’s had some cosmetic fillers to soften his nasal labial lines, Dermal fillers restore volume to certain areas of the face and create a more youthful appearance.
“Simon works in a very image based industry - non-surgical treatments are standard for anyone who works in TV and has regular pictures taken. You’d expect anyone with this type of work to have a good skincare regime and although it’s worked for Simon, we would always advise people not to overdo it – in particular when it’s injectables.
“You should always seek the advice of a qualified aesthetician or doctor.”
