Tess Daly is a very busy lady – model, TV personality and presenter of BBC Strictly Come Dancing; yet at 52, fans are perpetually amazed at her youthful looks.
What’s more, Tess achieves a natural and healthy look which shows no obvious signs of invasive skin treatments.
This year, Tess Daly shared one of her beauty secrets. She has used Ultherapy, a non-surgical skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses ultrasound to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. Alongside exercise and a healthy diet, this treatment is another way that Tess manages to retain her fresh look. She says:
“You just look well rested and like yourself but on a really good day.”
Tess Daly’s Ultherapy Experience
As Ultherapy® Brand Ambassador, Tess has been happy to share her story:
“I’ve had the treatment twice now and it’s great because as time goes on you actually notice an improvement in the quality of your skin.
“Collagen, as we know, is like the scaffolding of our skin. So when you boost the collagen you are lifting and tightening the skin.
“Why would we sacrifice the quality of our skin as we get older?
“I know I don’t want to you know, I want to look after myself best I can.”

How Ultherapy Boosts Collagen
As Tess Daly explained, collagen is like the scaffolding in our skin. It provides structure and support to keep it lifted and firm.
Collagen is the key component of the dermis (inner layer of the skin). The dermis is made up of over 80% type I collagen and 15% Type III collagen; so collagen is the key component of healthy, youthful-looking skin. The dermis also contains elastin, the flexible element that helps the skin spring back into place.
Losing collagen and elastin is part of the ageing process. It can be exacerbated with lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking, sun exposure, diet, hydration) as well as environmental (e.g. pollution) and some people may be genetically predisposed to earlier loss of collagen.
The body’s natural production of collagen starts to slow in the mid-to-late 20’s and continues to decrease further after age 30; so that the collagen levels in our skin can be expected to drop by 1-2% each year.
As levels of collagen and elastin deplete, the skin starts to show signs of ageing. This is not just limited to lines and wrinkles – loss of collagen is the main reason why skin can start to become looser and saggy, losing the firmer youthful V shape.
