Kelly Ripa Shares Details About Cosmetic Procedure She Had on Her Buttocks
Kelly Ripa revealed that she underwent a cosmetic treatment in a location that might surprise many of her fans.
“Oh wait, you did microneedling?” the 55-year-old talk show host asked actor Lukas Gage during a skincare discussion on the Tuesday, March 31, episode of her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast. “I had that done on my ass cheeks.”
Microneedling is a “minimally invasive” technique that involves fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which prompts collagen and elastin production. This procedure can help address “various skin conditions, including scars and wrinkles” while promoting rejuvenation, according to the National Institutes of Health.
As for whether the treatment met her expectations, Ripa honestly stated, “I’m going to tell you something … I look just as old as before.”
“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” she quipped.
In a February 2025 episode of her podcast, Ripa previously discussed her beauty regimen, admitting that she has experimented with Botox on her face.
“I used to get Botox just in my armpits to prevent sweating,” Ripa recounted, expressing her initial hesitation but ultimate satisfaction with the decision. “One day I thought, ‘Should I get Botox in my face?’ And [Dr. Rosenberg] looked at me and said, ‘I thought this day would never come.’ I was like ‘Oh my God, I needed Botox’ … there’s a sweet spot.”
Ripa — who shares three children with her husband and Live With Kelly and Mark cohost Mark Consuelos — added, “I’m a minimalist … I treat the crow’s feet and the neck, and that’s all. I do it three times a year.” (The couple, married since May 1996, are parents to Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 23.)
