Once known as The Only Way Is Essex’s ultimate ladies’ man, Mario Falcone has officially swapped his wild party days for family life — but he’s not letting go of his signature good looks anytime soon.
At 24, Mario proudly admitted to having dated more than 500 women during his peak TOWIE days.
Fast forward to now, and the 36-year-old reality star is a devoted husband and dad who’s found happiness at home with wife Becky and their two children, Parker Jax, six, and Cali Roux, two.
Still, Mario’s determined to keep his charm intact — and, as he jokes, remain “the hottest dad at the school gates.”
The Transformation Journey That Kept Him Looking Fresh
Over the past year, Mario has undergone a series of cosmetic tweaks to refresh his appearance — and he’s not shy about sharing the details.
In 2024, he revealed he’d had blepharoplasty surgery, a procedure that removes excess skin or fat from the eyelids, helping to reduce drooping or puffiness. But that was only the beginning.
Since April, Mario has also been visiting Dr. Nora Jaafar at the Rejuvenation Clinic for a range of non-invasive treatments that have completely transformed his look.
The results? A smoother, more youthful face — and a healthy glow that has fans double-taking.
Expert Insight: Enhancing Without Changing
Speaking to Daily Mail, Dr. Nora described Mario’s transformation as a textbook example of modern aesthetics done right.
“Mario’s transformation shows how modern treatments can enhance natural features without changing who someone is,” she explained.
“He still looks like himself — just fresher and more youthful. His results are balanced and natural.”
Dr. Nora added with a laugh, “We always joke that the goal is to be the hottest dad at the school gates — though Mario insists he already had that title before!”
What’s Behind the Glow? The Treatments Explained
So, what exactly has Mario been doing to achieve his new look? Let’s break it down.
Dermal Fillers
Mario’s had dermal fillers, a popular treatment that restores volume and smooths facial lines.
Using hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the skin, fillers lift the cheeks, soften smile lines, and define the jawline — with results that can last up to 18 months.
Botox
He’s also turned to Botox, the classic wrinkle-smoothing injection that relaxes facial muscles.
Fans have noticed how his forehead lines, frown marks, and crow’s feet have nearly disappeared — all while maintaining a natural, expressive look.
The Unusual Secret Ingredient — Salmon Sperm Facials
Yes, you read that right — salmon sperm is one of Mario’s newest skincare secrets.
Known by its scientific name Polynucleotides (or Plinest), the treatment uses DNA fragments from salmon to help repair skin cells, boost hydration, and reduce inflammation.
Unlike fillers, it doesn’t add volume but rather enhances overall skin texture and elasticity — especially around the eyes and neck.
Pairing Treatments for the Perfect Glow
To take things up a notch, Mario combined his salmon DNA treatment with Sisthema, a powerful skin booster that delivers deep hydration using hyaluronic acid and other nutrients.
The goal is to achieve that radiant “glow from within” while keeping the skin firm and supple — and, according to Dr. Nora, avoiding the dreaded “crepey” neck look that can come with age.
Why He Swears by Chemical Peels and Medical-Grade Skincare
Mario has also embraced chemical peels, which gently exfoliate the top layer of skin using active acids.
This process removes dead skin cells and stimulates new ones, leaving his complexion brighter, smoother, and more even in tone.
To maintain the effects, he follows a personalized medical-grade skincare routine, tailored to his skin’s needs.
These formulas use higher concentrations of active ingredients than over-the-counter products, tackling issues like pigmentation, acne, and fine lines more effectively.
A Confident New Chapter
Mario’s dedication to self-care doesn’t come from vanity but from confidence.
He previously spent £3,700 on his eyelid surgery after admitting that his hooded eyes had become a major insecurity.
Sharing his results on Instagram, he said:
“My hooded eyelids have been something I’ve grown very conscious of over the past couple of years.
I blame the kids,” he joked. “Very happy with the results so far! Big thank you to @dr.carlodebbas.”
From TOWIE Fame to Family Man
Once the ultimate flirt of Essex, Mario Falcone has evolved — from tabloid playboy to devoted husband, proud dad, and skincare enthusiast.
While his priorities may have shifted from parties to parent-teacher meetings, one thing’s for sure — Mario’s keeping his glow, his confidence, and his charm firmly intact.
And judging by those before-and-after photos, he just might be right — he’s still the hottest dad at the school gates.
