A former Playboy bunny who wed a multi-millionaire tycoon 57 years her senior has shared gruesome images of her swollen face after a bizarre beauty therapy.

Cathy Lugner, 33, astonished her followers with the grim images following a session of controversial carboxytherapy treatment.

The photographs show her with massively swollen eyes after the procedure where tiny needles fire carbon dioxide gas into the skin.

Reports say it reduces under-eye wrinkles and dark circles by creating new collagen under the skin.

Following the procedure, former Celebrity Big Brother star Cathy said on 10th January: “It doesn’t hurt, but it’s a very strange feeling. The effect: I feel fresher.”

Beauty care doctor Bruce Reith claimed that the therapy has no side effects and added: “There is no risk of gas embolism, the swelling usually disappears after five minutes.”

The influencer made headlines when an Austrian detective in Austria was jailed for 10 months for using confidential police data to spy on her in 2021.

At the time, the model had just separated from her former husband Richard Lugner, 90.

The pair had married at the luxurious Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna, on 13th September 2014.

Following the couple’s divorce just two years later, Cathy moved to Berlin, Germany, to pursue her career as a beautician.
