Olivia Attwood has warned injectable cosmetic treatments are a 'national issue' while anti-aging methods have become 'dystopian'
Olivia Attwood has warned of a 'national issue' when it comes to injectable cosmetic procedures and the 'dystopian' future of anti-ageing right around the corner.
The Love Island star, 34, fronts a documentary, Price of Perfection, which explores the cosmetics industry and in her second series, the technique of using injectables for weight loss is explored.
In an interview with MailOnline, Olivia said: 'There are a lot of people injecting a lot of stuff into themselves and when you actually ask the questions about what's in them, they don't have the answer.
'That highlights a national issue which is really important we put a light on. At worst these things are dangerous and at best it's salt and water that you're injecting and you're basically just washing your money down the drain.
'Either way, people need to be informed about what they are putting in their bodies.'
The former TOWIE star was speaking in reference to Lemon Bottle Fat Dissolving - an injectable cosmetic treatment which allegedly combines Vitamin B2 and other natural ingredients to accelerate the metabolism of fat cells.
The process promises 'minimal swelling and minimal pain' and can cost up to £250 at a clinic but when asked by Olivia in the ITV show, several professionals did not truly know what was in bottles.
She said: 'It was a double-edged sword because I hated the fact she [the clinician] couldn't answer the questions because I'm like, we have to tell this story now, but obviously it didn't look great.'
When asked about Kris Jenner's alleged facelift, which has left fans reeling at her new look, Olivia said: 'I mean, she looks fantastic, it's unbelievable.
'Work is becoming so sophisticated now, so undetectable. There are so many things that are happening on the surgery table like facelifts, fat grafting, and stem cells that are literally turning back the clock.
'It's dystopian, it's very exciting to watch the industry develop at such a fast rate and there's no limits to what we'll see in the next 10 years in terms of scientific development of anti-aging procedures.'
Olivia is open about her personal cosmetic surgeries and revealed she does not regret any apart from her first boob job which she admitted: ' Went too far, I went too big, also with my lips.'
The TV star has always been incredibly candid with her 2million plus fanbase about having veneers, lip filler, and Botox to maintain the look that got her noticed by Love Island producers (pictured on Love Island in 2017)
On her advice to teenage girls navigating the ever-developing work of cosmetic procedures, the reality star said: 'It's important to remember that the Kardashians are living in a world where the way they look is their whole life.
'They're photographed thousands of times a day and they probably have their own body hang-ups from the world that they are in.
'So it's all about pulling yourself out of your phone, out of Instagram and understanding that real people - I hate that expression - don't look like that and I think detach ourselves from Hollywood a little bit.'
Her final parting words were: 'Don't do anything for trends. Just because things are fashionable at this one time don't let that influence you.
'Ask yourself, am I doing this because I want to look like someone else or because it's something that genuinely bothers me, and that's a hard conversation to have.'
