PHOTOS: Margaret Josephs Shows Before & After Pics of CO2 Laser Treatment as She Details “Monstrous” Procedure & Why She Did It, Plus RHONJ Costars & Dorinda React

Margaret Josephs has followed in the footsteps of Tamra Judge by undergoing a CO2 laser treatment.

Months after the 57-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star debuted the results of the painful-looking procedure in a series of videos and photos shared to her social media pages, the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, also 57, has done the same.

“New year New Baby skin! The process might [look] ‘monstrous,’ but the results are fabulous!! I knew the results would be good, but I’m shocked how much better my skin is, brighter tighter, plumpy! My eyes are lifted! CO2 is for you!” Margaret wrote in the caption of a January 30 video on Instagram, tagging her plastic surgeon, Dr. Mark Karolak.

In Margaret’s video, she explained her decision to move forward with the procedure as different stages of her recovery were chronicled.

“I did it for my fine lines. I was looking really dull,” she revealed. “My collagen was not as full. I had some spots. I just needed a refresh.”

Margaret then said that the results were “literally, life-changing.”

“I love the quality of my skin. I feel like the collagen’s puffier. I was looking pale, fine lines, [and] shriveled. The results are amazing,” she gushed.

Also included in Margaret’s post were before and after photos.

After sharing her video and photos, Margaret was met with praise from her fellow Real Housewives.

“So good!!!” commented Melissa Gorga, 45.

“Amazing results!!” wrote Dolores Catania, 54.

“Looks amazing,” added Dorinda Medley, 60.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on pause ahead of its 15th season.
