Ever wondered how celebrities seem to look younger the older they get? Luckily, more and more stars are opening up about their beauty secrets, from at-home routines to aesthetic tweakments.

Years ago I used to have a back door to sneak celebrities in and out, but these days most of our famous clients pose on our Harley Street doorstep, happily sharing their photos on social media. And no, they’re not doing it to get a freebie.

Beauty secret: Peptide injections 

The 54-year-old actress swears by weekly injections of peptides. 

WHAT IS IT?

COST: About £350 per treatment.
