Dr Nina Bal appears in the first episode of The Price of Perfection, the new celebrity edition of the ITVX documentary series, which premiered at 9pm on Tuesday 4 August 2026 and is available to stream on ITVX now. The episode was filmed at the Facial Sculpting clinic in South Kensington, London, and follows Dr Nina with her long-time patient, comedian and podcast host Katherine Ryan.

Known as The Facial Sculptor, Dr Nina is interviewed alongside Katherine Ryan by the host of the show, Olivia Attwood. The trio delve into the world of surgical and non-surgical procedures and the treatment portfolio available at Facial Sculpting, and Dr Nina talks about the anti-ageing treatments that deliver real results and what Katherine Ryan's own Facial Sculpting protocol includes.

During the episode, Olivia Attwood tries EMFACE at the clinic. EMFACE® is a non-invasive device that combines radiofrequency with high intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) to tone the facial muscles and lift the facial contours, with no needles, for instant and visible facial sculpting.

Katherine Ryan explains that she has recently undergone facial surgery, and Dr Nina advises a session of Dermalux Tri-Wave MD. This medical-grade LED phototherapy device uses clinically validated light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation and promote lymphatic drainage, supporting the skin while it recovers.
