Bec Judd complains she's become a 'pin cushion' as she shares her latest cosmetic procedure after finally admitting she's had some tweaks
Bec Judd has taken to social media to announce she has undergone another cosmetic procedure. The 42-year-old WAG was not specific about her treatment, but it appears it may have involved some sort of injections in her face. Posting to her stories on Thursday, Bec, wearing white-rimmed cat-eye sunglasses, shared a snap in which she could be seen twisting her mouth in a comic grimace. 'Pin cushion,' she said in the caption. 'She's going to look amazing in two weeks ha, ha,' she joked. Bec tagged aesthetic nurse Claire McGuinness, who operates in Melbourne 's Prahran and offers a range of treatments, including LED light therapy, microneedling and radiofrequency treatments. It comes after Bec recently opened up about having cosmetic procedures done after years of denying she has had any work. Bec told Stellar magazine that she wants to be 'completely transparent' as she discusses beauty in her new podcast, called Vain-ish, alongside best friend Jess Roberts. 'I'm 42, and I don't have a line on my face. I'm telling you it's not because I get eight hours' sleep a night, all right?' she confessed. She went on to say that 2025 is the year we 'stop gaslighting' women by lying about the procedures we've had done. 'You get to a certain age where it's like, come on, let's be a bit more honest. This is the year where we stop bullsh***ing everyone and we fess up,' she added. In the first episode of her podcast, Bec opened up about her own personal journey with cosmetic surgeries and enhancements, admitting to trying treatments such as the Kim Kardashian-approved salmon sperm facial. 'So I've had this treatment twice with my injector Claire McGuinness for, you know, thinning skin around the eyes,' she revealed. Bec added that it was a 'next generation' cosmetic enhancement, coining it as a 'biostimulatory injectable'. For years, the Jaggad founder has denied having any plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures done, instead pointing to healthy living and expensive skincare as her saving grace. However, more recently, Bec has been incrementally dropping more hints about the non-invasive procedures she uses to maintain her age-defying visage. In June, Bec paid a visit to aesthetic nurse and former clinical specialist Claire, who offers a 'conservative approach to facial rejuvenation' using radio frequency microneedling, LED therapies, and injectables. 'Give me Kris Jenner's neck without the surgery,' Bec captioned a snapshot of her neck after what appears to be an 'Exion' treatment. The media personality showed off three rows of distinct red and swollen bumps peppered across her neck after her appointment. Exion, a type of radio-frequency microneedling, creates controlled micro-injuries and applies heat to the skin, which can cause temporary redness, swelling, and bumps as the skin responds and repairs itself.

Want to get Botox injections, liposuction, laser treatments in Malaysia? Here's the list of beauty procedures needing an MOH-qualified doctor
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — Thinking of visiting a 'beauty clinic' in Malaysia to get an aesthetic treatment such as Botox injections or breast filler injections. Perhaps you're considering cosmetic surgery such as liposuction or work done on your eyes, nose or face? Wait. Don't say 'yes' to those procedures, until you check if a qualified doctor or specialist will be doing it. Here are three simple and basic steps you should do: Step one: Check if the doctor has a current and valid practising certificate, which must be renewed every year for them to continue to practise in Malaysia. Step two: Check if the doctor has a valid Letter of Credentialing and Privileging (LCP). Without an LCP, they cannot carry out any aesthetic procedure on you. Step three: Even if the doctor has an LCP, check if the LCP allows them to carry out the procedure on you. Also check if the 'beauty clinic' is a licensed healthcare facility. Why should you check? (Hint: To keep you safe) Malaysia's Health Ministry (MOH) in 2013 issued its guidelines on aesthetic medical practice for registered doctors, and in 2020 issued the second edition of the guidelines to regulate this. In the guidelines, MOH noted that there have been reports of adverse outcomes (including patients becoming disfigured or dying) due to incompetent medical and non-medical practitioners carrying out these aesthetic procedures. MOH noted that 'all aesthetic procedures are not completely safe'. MOH said some of the common complications from these beauty or cosmetic treatments include reactions to anaesthesia; bleeding; infections; scarring; pigmentary changes (hypo-pigmentation or hyper-pigmentation) and even death. Not all doctors with LCP can do cosmetic surgery on you There are three categories of doctors who can get the LCP qualification to do aesthetic treatments: General practitioners (they are non-specialists) Medical specialists (dermatologists and non-dermatologists) Surgical specialists (plastic surgeons and surgeons whose core specialties are not plastic surgery) Doctors who are general practitioners cannot do invasive procedures on you. Only plastic surgeons can do the full-range of invasive procedures and cosmetic surgeries on you, including for eyelids, noses, faces or tummy tucks; as well as breast implants, breast enhancements, breast reductions, and fat grafting. The Health Ministry's website lists these three as illegal procedures in Malaysia, namely breast fillers, buttock fillers, and 'IV drip Vitamin C'. What is an LCP? Registered doctors or specialists have to apply for the LCP, which will be issued by the Health Ministry's Medical Practice Division if all requirements are met (including training or assessment requirements). LCPs issued to general practitioners are valid for three years and can be renewed; while LCPs for specialists are valid for five years and also renewable. A doctor or specialist with an LCP can then be registered in a national registry, known as the National Registry of Registered Medical Practitioners Practising Aesthetic Medical Practice. If there are complaints on aesthetic medical procedures carried out by a registered doctor and the procedure's outcome, this may lead to an inquiry by bodies such as the Health Ministry or the Malaysian Medical Council. This could lead to the LCP being reviewed and the doctor being removed from the national registry. Complaints of unsafe practice or professional misconduct could also lead to such LCP reviews and potential removal from the national registry. Check here to see if a person is a doctor registered with the Malaysian Medical Council, by just typing their name. Check here to see if the doctor is still on the National Registry of Registered Medical Practitioners Practising Aesthetic Medical Practice. What are the doctors' responsibilities? In the MOH guidelines, doctors and specialists must inform the patient of the potential risks and possible outcome, and get consent for the planned aesthetic medical procedure. They must also place the patient's safety as their primary concern, and carry out the services in a healthcare facility licensed or registered under these laws and regulations: Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998 Private Healthcare Facilities and Services (Private Hospitals and Other Private Healthcare Facilities, Private Medical Clinics or Private Dental Clinics) Regulations 2006. Check here to see if the 'beauty clinic' you visit is registered with the Health Ministry and if it can provide aesthetic services or not. Recommended reading:
