Danniella, 49, filmed her appointment at NC Aesthetics in Newcastle.
They specialise in lips, fillers and Botox treatments, and a practioner administered the injections into the star’s skin as Danniella admired the work.
The mum-of-two has spoken about her bid to rebuild her cheek after first telling fans her face was “rotting away” in 2018.
Three years later she had her jaw rebuilt after the bone began to wear away.
But Danniella said she would need three more operations to put things right.
The star said: “Stage one of the four part journey of reconstructive surgery to rebuild my face and finally stop all the hate.”
A pal close to Danniella – who has battled a high profile drug addiction for two decades – said at the time: “This is an incredibly important process for Danniella. It is more than just an operation.”

Danniella was famously left with a disfigured nose after her cocaine abuse caused her septum — which separates the nostrils — to rot and eventually collapse.
Years of drug abuse and botched surgery led to osteoporosis, and Danniella has been trying to reverse the damage since going sober.
She previously told how botched surgery means that some days she wakes up and the left side of her face is completely “sunken”.
Other days her cheek swells up in agony as her bones are “decaying” and “weakened”.
“I just don’t look like myself any more,” she said in a 2018 interview.
“Obviously I’m going to age a lot faster anyway because of the drugs but I didn’t need this as well.”
Danniella rose to fame playing Sam Mitchell, the younger sister of EastEnders bad boys Phil and Grant, in 1990.
She returned to the stage for the first time at Christmas and received an incredibly glam makeover Sinderfella! in London.
