Simon Cowell, 66, enjoys extreme £500 pampering treatment with partner Lauren Silverman, 48, as they relax with a face full of needles

He's been open in the past about the measures he takes in a bid to stay young. 

And Simon Cowell enjoyed an extreme pampering treatment on Thursday as he attempted to relax with a face full of needles. 

The music mogul, 66, was snapped by his partner Lauren Silverman, who also checked in for the treatment, as he lay with multiple acupuncture needles in his face before also undergoing red light therapy. 

Heading to celebrity acupuncturist Sarah Bradden, The Bradden Method treatment costs £545 for 90 minutes and includes acupuncture, reiki, facial massage, PEMF, hydrogen and activated oxygen therapy, light therapy, turning forks and energy work. 

Her website reads: 'The Sarah Bradden Method has been specifically designed to treat you and your individual needs - simultaneously healing you on both the inside and outside. 

'Each treatment is tailor-made; helping you restore balance, feel empowered, motivated, and to look and feel the best version of yourself with renewed mental wellbeing and self-love.'

The treatment is said to help anti-ageing, brain protection and ultimate detox and cell repair.  

Taking to Instagram to share snaps from their treatments, Lauren wrote: 'For someone who has a serious needle phobia... I can't believe how many needles I had in my face tonight.' 

Sharing a snap of the TV star she added: 'Simon had them too! And the red light therapy. Very good combo.'  

Simon is known for prioritising his looks, and back in November he claimed he had managed to 'age backwards' by using a controversial blood filtering trend.

The TV personality spoke to The Sun about the extreme measures that he's been taking in a bid to stay young.

And he explained that he had gotten his blood rinsed, filtered and put back into his body, a treatment that has slowly been taking over Hollywood in recent months.

'I go to this place, this wellness clinic, where they actually take your blood, they rinse it, they filter it and then they put it back into your body,' he said.

The America's Got Talent judge also credited 'eating better,' taking 'certain supplements,' exercising more and lowering his stress with helping him to 'age backwards.'

'You do all these tests, and they tell you your age, so I’ve actually aged backwards by eating better, more exercise, less stress and certain supplements,' he continued. 'My brain is still there, I still have the energy.'

He also revealed that he considered having his body 'cryogenically frozen' but ultimately decided not to after he 'found out they chop your head off, so you come back in 2,000 years as a floating head.'

The former X-Factor judge was one of the first male TV stars to admit to having Botox and filler but insists he has not had plastic surgery.

On claims he has had a surgical procedure, the father-of-one last year said: ‘I think it's hysterical. I mean it just makes me laugh - I haven’t had a facelift or anything.

‘I have had a bit of Botox but kind of nothing drastic. So when I hear about this stuff honestly it does make me laugh.’

In 2018, Cowell revealed he had a £2,000 treatment, dubbed a 21st-century facelift. He got a Silhouette Soft Lift, which involves sewing bioplastic-infused thread into the face and neck and tugging it to get rid of sagging skin.

He said at the time: ‘For me now, it’s all about having clean skin. If you have clean skin, you look better. But you have to be very careful with some of this stuff.’

The former music label manager admitted that he once got so much Botox injected into his face that he looked ‘like something out of a horror film.’

He added: ‘There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far. I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day and didn’t recognize it as me first of all. Eric [Simon's son] was in hysterics.

‘Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.’
