Love Island's Alexandra Cane reveals SHOCKING effects of laser facial
Published 6th Jan 2019 Last updated 6th Jan 2019
Alexandra Cane seemed to have flawless skin during Love Island, but sadly she didn't see it that way.
After leaving the villa, the reality TV star decided to take action and have a laser facial treatment to banish scars left from the impetigo she previously suffered with.
The star recently took to Instagram to reveal the painful-looking effects of the facial, which costs over £2,000, telling fans she wanted to be honest about the procedure.
The star said, “This the current state of skin, it looks quite bloody. It’s starting to scab over now but all is good according to my consultant.
“Hopefully in a few days all of this scabbing should start peeling off. The most sore part is my eyes, but the rest of my skin feels pretty good."

Fans were quick to worry about Alexandra, who dated Dr Alex George on the show, with many expressing their concern over her red face - but she claimed it was perfectly normal.
She later added, “Guys, don’t panic, I’ve just had a few DMs saying ‘Oh my god, what’s happened?'
“This is how my skin is meant to look at the moment, please don’t worry, all is fine."
When asked why she'd decided to go to such extremes, she replied, "I used to suffer with a skin condition called impetigo where I used to get blisters on my skin that would pus and take ages to scab over.
"I would pick at them and was then left with scarring and uneven skin." Ouch.
Following her stint in the villa, Alex is rumoured to be dating former Love Island contestant Rykard Jenkins, while her ex Dr Alex George recently confirmed he's dating Ex on the Beach's Amelia Bath.
