Even though the jab left her looking worse for wear, the former Coronation Street starlet insisted it was all part of the healing process.
Polynucleotides are a type of injectable for under your eyes, and is billed as the latest beauty must-have.
The pricey procedure promises to rejuvenate skin, smooth fine lines, and give celebs a youthful glow.
Helen took to Instagram to show her followers the aftermath of the procedure.
Her face was left red and bruised, with bloody dots under her eyes where she’d been injected.
Helen told fans she’s already noticed “such a difference” after her second of three sessions.
She wrote: “Polynucleotides are an injectable skin treatment
designed to improve the delicate under-eye area using extracts of salmon sperm.
“They work by stimulating repair at a cellular level, helping to improve skin quality, hydration, and overall brightness.
“You’ll notice a refreshed, less tired appearance as the skin
becomes smoother and more resilient.
“For best results, we recommend a course of 3 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve gradual natural improvements.”
Other celebrities in the showbiz world have shared that they have also tried the procedure, such as Dani Dyer, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston and Charli XCX.
BOOB JOB BACKLASH
Helen addressed the “nasty comments” she sometimes receives, and spoke out about her decision to get a boob job.
She revealed how she carried three kids and breastfed them all for around three years in total.
“Honestly, when I finished breast-feeding, I could have tied my boobs in a bow. They was so bad,” she confessed, defending her boob job decision.
Helen showed off her boob job after three pregnancies in an Instagram reel.
She explained how she went under the knife because she was “so self conscious”.
She said she has naturally always had “really big boobs”.
“Before I had kids, I had natural E cup boobs,” she confessed.
She later added how she gets comments “all the time” where people say “oh, you’re a mum, you should cover up” and “your kids would be ashamed of you”.
Helen hit back saying: “This is actually my body.”
She noted that even though she has had surgery for breastfeeding and had excess skin, despite having had an implant put in each of them, they are now their natural size and how they always were.
“Should I be ashamed of how I look because I’m a woman and this is how I look?” she asked.
“So, I don’t think there’s anything shameful about being confident or about being sexy. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
“I don’t understand how that makes you a bad mum?” she said, sounding confused.
“I’m not perfect, but I try and show my children the importance of being kind,” Helen added, noting how she would never want them to “drag other women down”.
PANTO DEBUT
The actress is making sure she is looking and feeling her best as she will be making her panto debut as the evil stepmother in Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs at Liverpool‘s M&S Bank Arena in December.
She showed off her panto outfit as she donned a sequinned red and black dress, with black feathered sleeves, and wore a gold and red diamante tiara on her head.
She also held aloft a red apple, symbolic of the poisonous apple so relevant to the Snow White storyline.
A source previously told The Sun: “Helen is excited for panto season and can’t wait to get into character, she’s a brilliant actress and knows how to put on a show.
“She’ll also be pocketing a pretty penny, celebrities and soap stars make good money doing panto and always look forward to it as some extra income.”
