Speaking from her wardrobe while wearing a cozy Oodie, with her makeup removed and hair secured back with a large headband, Frankie expressed her discomfort with the exclusive treatment she had received.
The Loose Women panelist had undergone Julaine, a Swedish treatment that involves facial injections to help regenerate natural collagen.
Prices for each treatment can range from £750 to £1250, with a recommendation of three treatments per person.
A visibly fragile Frankie displayed her face in her latest YouTube vlog, stating, "My face is starting to swell, especially under my eyes."
She also pointed out her "flaky lips" from another treatment and bruises around her eyes caused by Botox.
"When I touch it, it hurts so much; I feel so bruised," Frankie admitted, noting that only 25 percent of individuals who undergo Julaine end up bruised, and she knew she would be among that minority.
"I'm going to sit and ice my poor little face while watching All's Fair."
Frankie then lamented, "Why do I do this? Poor me, it's so challenging trying to look young."
The music star has been candid about her skin struggles, including dealing with adult acne, and previously shared her experience during an interview.
"I dealt with acne for about a year," she recalled. "I remember thinking, 'Oh, this is so unfair; this is supposed to happen when I’m a teenager.'
"Not that it makes it any better, but I thought, 'Why is this happening now?'
"I tried everything. I consulted a gut specialist, considered eliminating dairy, and tried various holistic approaches before doing anything else—facials, you name it, but nothing worked."
Desperate to clear her skin, the mother, who is married to a legend, aged 44, added, "Ultimately, I had to see a doctor, and we considered possibly taking medication for acne—but there are so many side effects associated with that."
The explained: "Fortunately for me, the [contraceptive] helped improve my skin, as it turned out to be a hormonal issue.
"However, it made me very self-conscious, and I’m still quite paranoid about it now because I still get the occasional breakout."
"When you’re conversing with people, you feel like they’re staring directly at that spot while talking to you.
"And they’re not—you know, I don’t do that when talking to someone with a blemish, but you become so aware of it."
Not only did Frankie’s acne cause her to feel self-conscious, but she also spoke about the pain she experienced.
The brunette beauty emphasized, "And they’re incredibly painful. It’s so painful.
“It feels like being punched in the face sometimes. The bruising sensation... the pain is unbearable."
