Georgia Toffolo has received praise from her fans after sharing a candid look at her skincare journey as she went for a new acne treatment this week.
The I’m A Celebrity star, 28, took to Instagram on Monday to share a video of her treatment with Potenza, which she says would help with acne scars using radio frequency and microneedling technology.
In the video, Georgia said, “You guys know my skin journey has been a huge part of my life, it’s been well documented over the past decade or so that I’ve been in the public eye.
“I’m a little nervous, but I’m also excited about exploring this super-effective treatment.”
In the video, Georgia spoke to a consultant before getting ready for the treatment by having numbing cream applied all over her face before the microneedling treatment began.

Sweet: In the comments section, Georgia’s followers praised the star for sharing the video and being candid about the issues she had with her skin
During her appearance on I’m A Celebrity South Africa earlier this year, Georgia shared that she wanted to “normalize” acne by exposing her makeup-free skin.
The former Made In Chelsea star shared in her exit interview that she was proud to break her urge to hide with concealer.
Toff has been open about her skin issues over the years, admitting that she didn’t feel quite herself on the show without her “war paint” makeup when she had a flare-up.
She explained, “If I’m being completely honest, I’ve been on a really big journey with my acne. When I was there my skin really flared up and it was really aggressive acne.
“There was a part of me that kept thinking, ‘I really want my concealer.’ Being very honest, I’m not quite myself when I don’t have my war paint on.
“But I’ve had it for 15 years now and it was really important to me not to hide behind my concealer.
Difficult: Georgia has previously revealed that she “lived in fear” that people would find out how severe her acne was at the height of her pimples when she was younger
Battle: Toff told in her ITV documentary In Search Of Perfect Skin last year how she had a ‘terribly low opinion of herself’ at the time
“There are so many people who struggle with it just like me. And I wanted to show people that a) that’s normal and b) that even if you have every privilege in life that I have, you can still have it.”
She continued, “It doesn’t matter how well off you are, what school you went to or if you’re a celebrity – you can still be affected. And that’s okay. It’s not something to hide behind.
And I hope people take that away, that would make me really happy that people look at it and think, ‘You know, she normalized it and she got on television. Millions of people have watched her twice now and it didn’t touch her.’
So I think that’s my biggest takeaway. I’m 27 now and I think it’s important to show that you can have pimples, but you can also be beautiful at the same time. I had to break through that, so I’m very proud of myself.’
