A significantly younger face – in two parts

Looking 20 years younger: this is what many dream of and this was the goal of a self-experiment on ProSieben. The controversial television experiment brings praise, but also criticism, to journalist Jenke von Wilmsdorff.

Journalist Jenke von Wilmsdorff now looks much younger after a beauty experiment, but she sometimes had a split face. For the new ProSieben “Jenke” series. The man in his fifties underwent cosmetic treatment on the left half of his face for three months, and the right half was surgically stiffened.

As a medical professional explained in the program on Monday evening, a wrinkle measurement allows the conclusion that the skin on the left is rejuvenated by about eight years. The intervention in the right half brought eleven years of rejuvenation.

At the end of the program, Wilmsdorff was seen with two inconsistent halves of the face. After filming the unusual project, the other half was also operationally adapted.

“I was hoping for more”

Wilmsdorff on the interim result: “I was hoping for more, but I don’t want to be ungrateful”. He presented the optical result in his series. “But the bottom line is that I haven’t achieved my goal. Instead of 20 years, my face is 11 years younger ”, he summarized.

“So now I have almost no more wrinkles, a bag under the eyes and one less drooping eyelid and the doctor says I look many years younger. But do I like what I see in the mirror? Not yet. Everything still feels tense, it’s swollen and I feel the threads as I chew. ”

The beautician had “done a really good job,” she said. “Only the bags under the eyes were their limit”. After the experiment, the reporter had the other half surgically adjusted as well.

There has been a long-standing controversy from users on the series’ Facebook page. Kudos to Wilmsdorff on his new look. But there were also criticisms: “I think it is very brave, the experiment was very interesting, but the final result is totally shocking to me. In Jenke’s face everything is missing … zero charisma, zero life … no facial expression. Anyway, hats off to lots of courage !! One user wrote.

Another user wrote: “I think every wrinkle is a life story, that’s what defines us. This is what we have experienced for better or for worse. Yes, it looks better. However, I find it extreme how her eyes have changed, she no longer has that dear and familiar look. But do an extreme experiment. “

The 100-day beauty experiment achieved an excellent rate. In the advertising-relevant target group aged 14 to 49, “Jenke”. at 15.4 percent. In prime time, the reporter only had to admit defeat to his former employer RTL, whose flirting show “Bauer sucht Frau” reached 16.8% of the target group.
