During Wednesday’s episode of her Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, the 55-year-old host told guest Lukas Gage that she once tried microneedling on a very personal area — her “ass cheeks” — in hopes of making her backside look more youthful and lifted. However, she admitted the treatment made no noticeable difference, joking that her bottom looked “as old as before” and quipping that “desperate times call for desperate measures.”
Ripa has long been candid about cosmetic tweaks. Earlier this year, she revealed she had Botox injections in her armpits, and she has also said she might consider a facelift someday. However, she remains hesitant about breast augmentation, despite attending multiple consultations. She explained that while doctors often promise great results, reading online horror stories ultimately discourages her from going through with it.
The TV personality has previously insisted she hasn’t had certain procedures, clarifying in 2018 that she never had a nose job or veneers. She joked that if she had veneers, she wouldn’t still be sleeping with a retainer every night.
Ripa has also shared humorous insights into her marriage with Mark Consuelos, recently joking that her nighttime retainer acts like a “chastity belt,” signaling that any chance of evening romance is off the table. The couple, who co-host Live with Kelly and Mark, have frequently teased each other about their differing preferences, with Ripa admitting she favors intimacy at night and joking that mornings leave them both feeling far from glamorous.
