Loose Women's Carol McGiffin shows off a new 'face full of fillers'

Loose Women panellist Carol McGriffin showed off a 'new look' on an episode of the daytime talk show. The show discussed if people should have to get a prescription to get fillers injected into their face or lips.

There are debates around the regulation of the industry as there is currently no mandatory training required for a beautician to carry out the work wrote the Liverpool Echo. Carol has previously admitted that she had a facelift then the show displayed a photo of her with very enhanced facial features as if she had undergone filler procedures.

The panelist said: "I haven't had all of that work done what is shown in the picture." She added: "That is a very disturbing look for me. It's an app or a filter or something that my friend used to see what I would look like if I went too far."

She said: "What's worrying about that app is that that is a look that some people aspire to. When you don't have this sort of thing regulated everyone can just get it. So many young people are getting it and aspiring to a look."

She added: "I think, not prescription you don't need to get it on prescription, but there should be definitely more regulation I think. I think there should be an age limit and consultations for people to make sure they haven't got any dysmorphia."

Denise Welch asked fellow host Katie Piper if she thought these women having cosmetic procedures were "superficial" due to Katie having to have reconstructive surgery after a terrible incident. She replied: "Short answer is no I don't. I think it's such a complex thing."

She added: "Had I not been burnt and I had aged I might have had treatments, I might have gone on to do things like that as I got older. So no, I don't judge you for it and I think that's the key here."

Katie said that while she isn't "anti-treatment" she does agree that there should be regulations for Botox and fillers. She explained how beauticians don't have the power to prescribe antibiotics if the client suffers an infection due to the treatments and they don't have the correct training to deal with adverse reactions.
