Kelly Ripa Says She Got Microneedling on Her Butt in a “Desperate” Beauty Move

Ripa said the treatment left her looking the same, after trying it as a beauty experiment on Lukas Gage’s podcast.

  • On the April 1 episode of her podcast Let's Talk Off Camera, host Kelly Ripa revealed she underwent microneedling on her buttocks, though the 55-year-old admitted the procedure produced no visible change.
  • Ripa shared the experience while chatting with guest Lukas Gage, who had recently completed a microneedling appointment in Los Angeles. Gage's question about results prompted her candid confession.
  • According to the National Institutes of Health, microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries triggering collagen production to treat scars and wrinkles. The FDA regulates products reaching deeper skin layers, distinguishing them from surface treatments.
  • "Desperate times call for desperate measures," Ripa joked when asked if she noticed improvement. She has been candid about using Botox injections to treat crow's feet and neck lines.
  • Despite experimenting with various procedures, Ripa maintains a "minimalist" approach to cosmetic alterations. She limits Botox treatments to three times a year, emphasizing careful restraint.
