While Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles and smooth imperfections.

Olivia then shared a short clip of her on the Tube, showing off the results, with her face visibly covered in tiny spots of blood from the microneedles.

Over the top of the post, the reality star quipped: 'Post Morpheus not quite travel friendly but we move'. 

Her revelation that she'd come to the end of breastfeeding Siena comes two months after Olivia revealed she'd called an ambulance to her home because she was suffering from crippling mastitis.

Mastitis is the painful inflammation of breast tissue, commonly causing hot, swollen, red, and tender breasts, often with flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills.

It is most common in breastfeeding women due to a blocked milk duct and does not usually need medical treatment, but in some cases can cause pus to build up and form an abscess requiring antibiotics and in rare cases - surgical draining.

Taking to Instagram in January, Olivia explained that she had been up all night in pain with the condition, with it getting so bad that she 'thought she was gonna pass out'.

She explained that she called paramedics after she started 'spiralling' due to her health anxiety following Siena's traumatic birth.

She said: 'Ever since Siena's birth I have quite bad health anxiety so I literally spiralled last night. Thank you to the paramedics that came to help you guys are angels, just incredible.'

Olivia also thanked husband Alex, saying: 'Alex has gone to get my antibiotics bless his heart up all night with me. Even got the kids all awake and ready to get in the car to drive me to A&E.'.

The reality star has been very open about her health anxiety after 'nearly dying' when she gave birth to her daughter in August.

Speaking in October on her ITV2 reality show Olivia & Alex: Parenthood, she broke down in tears as she recalled losing a huge amount of blood after suffering a major haemorrhage during her C-section.

Viewers saw Olivia attempting a home birth with a birthing pool before she began to struggle so much with the pain that they had to call an ambulance to rush her to hospital.

She said: 'We had a plan but it didn't come off. I felt something that didn't feel right. I was only 5cm dilated after 10 hours but I was determined to push through, I then felt a lump in my vagina and we made the decision to go to hospital.'

She revealed that 'my bladder had fallen down into my cervix and was obstructing the exit for the baby' meaning she had to have a c-section.

'I was really scared, it's a surgery and it's a big thing and it's not the easy way out,' she said. 'She came out crying which was incredible and beautiful and I had her on my face and I started to feel dizzy.

'The nurse started calling out how much blood I was losing and all I could hear was 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and it was going up and up quickly and the fear sunk in really quickly, it was really scary.'

Breaking down in tears, she said: 'They started yelling, major haemorrhage across all the surgery room and that's all I remember.

'There was doctors in and out and no one was telling me what was going on. I felt so sick and dizzy and Alex said the blood just drained from me.

'I remember thinking don't close your eyes because I thought I'd pass out or even worse. It was very close. 

'I ended up losing 2.8 litres of blood and you only have 4.5 litres so the blood loss... to feel that you are that close to losing your life, was very very scary.'

Olivia continued by thanking the NHS for 'saving her life' and explained that she 'feels so lucky' to be alive.

She said: 'The doctors were absolutely incredible. The NHS were amazing, they saved my life.'

While she said that she had now 'processed' to terrifying ordeal, her husband Alex admitted he was 'traumatised'.

Olivia told him: 'I feel like I've processed it, we got through 20 hours of labour at home, I think you were more traumatised.'

Alex agreed, adding: 'Yeah its the worse thing I've ever seen and never want to go through it again.'
