Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has sparked concern among fans after revealing noticeable bruising under her eyes in her latest Instagram posts. The mum of one, known for her candid social media presence, shared a makeup-free photo on her Stories, showing the swelling and asking her followers, “How the hell’s your Saturday?”
This post marked a stark contrast to her recent glamorous uploads, where Shaughna proudly displayed her six-stone weight loss in swimwear and lingerie shoots.
Shaughna later explained the reason behind her facial markings in a video shared from the comfort of her bed. The blonde beauty, sporting an up-do hairstyle, revealed she had undergone polynucleotide treatment, alongside Botox, and shared her excitement about dissolving her lip filler in the coming weeks.
“So the bruising and swelling under my eyes is insane, but expected! I had my first session of polynucleotide plus some much-needed Botox,” she captioned her update. Turning her head in the video, she showcased the full extent of her bruising and swelling, emphasizing the aftermath of the procedure.
Polynucleotide treatment, which promotes skin renewal and helps heal sun-damaged areas, has gained attention as a cutting-edge approach to tackling signs of aging around the eyes. Dr. Miriam Adebibe, speaking about the procedure, previously described it as “the most exciting addition to under-eye treatments of late,” explaining that it uses DNA fragments to instruct cells to regenerate naturally.
Despite the temporary side effects, Shaughna appeared optimistic about her decision, sharing her excitement for the results yet to come.
