subject: The Not So Secret Skin Treatments Of Celebrities [print this page] Going through the top 10 richest superstars in Hollywood, one can't help but wonder how much their money has helped them look and feel better. Since they capitalize on their looks to draw their scores of fans to see their movies and spend millions in the box office, it's certain that aside from wonderful genes, science also plays a part in making them look what they are now.
Ever wondered what they had made? Or how they sustain their Hollywood glow? Continue reading to find out:
Juvederm - Lisa Rinna has been known as the Juvederm junkie. Juvederm is a smooth gel filler your derma uses to quickly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. Just one single treatment and results - natural looking at that - can last for a year. It'll target your smile lines, marionette lines (the lines on the side of your mouth) and vertical lines in between your nose and lips.
Botox - is there anybody who doesn't know Botox? As a doctor notoriously said, Botox is the defacto standard for the treatment of crows lines and wrinkles. In 2008, it was the favourite nonsurgical cosmetic procedure - approximately 2.5 million Botox procedures were carried out that year. How does it work? It paralyzes the muscles beneath the wrinkles. Quite simply, it relaxes your wrinkles. Results last 3 months, after which you'lll get your forehead moving again. A Well known celebrity who had it done improperly would be Nicole Kidman. Look Ma, no emotions! Bad for acting really.
Restylane - When Blake lively was spotted one time in New York, there was clearly something different with her pout. Apparently, the gossip girl star had Restylane on her lips to give her that irresistible come hither look. Restylane adds volume and fullness to the skin to correct whatever facial wrinkles or folds you may have - from the lines of your nose to the corners of your mouth. For Blake Lively, she used Restylane to enhance her lips. Restylane was the first hyaluronic acid to be licensed by the US FDA for cosmetic injection.
Chemical Peels - unlike the 3 injectable fillers above, chemical peels work towards improving the outer layer of skin, not in it. It removes dead skin cells and damaged surface layers of the skin to show fresh, new skin. Many horror stories have been told about chemical peels, so be sure to go to a licensed doctor when you undergo this treatment. The majority of celebrities undergo chemical peels, so no need to pick on one.
Last but not the least, and the newest member of the injectable fillers family is Dysport. It functions pretty much the same as Botox, but less the cost and also, less the strength. It is used for adults under 65 years old. There are 5 points between and above your eyebrows where Dysport is injected. It blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles which results in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily inhibits contractions of the muscles that cause frown lines. However, unlike Botox, the other untreated face muscles can still move, permitting you to show emotions/expressions on your face. If you wish to repeat the treatment, it can be done after only 3 months.
Have you seen Sophia Loren lately? She's still looking good after 77 years on the planet, and although I won't bet on it, she in all probability has science to thank for her looks too (and not just her incredible genes!). These procedures arent's cheap - that's why it's largely celebrities who have it done on their faces. If you wish to have it done though, safer to have it done in a clinic - with a licensed doctor. Or you can always opt for the more inexpensive "doctor" and have your 15 minutes of fame on websites featuring cosmetic treatments gone outrageous!
