Going through the top 10 richest celebrities in Hollywood, one can’t help but wonder how much their money has helped them appear and feel better. Since they capitalize on their looks to attract their scores of fans to see their movies and spend millions in the box office, it’s certain that apart from wonderful genes, science also plays a part in making them look what they are now.
Ever asked yourself what they had made? Or how they sustain their Hollywood glow? Read on to find out:
Juvaderm - Lisa Rinna has been called a Juvaderm junkie. Juvaderm is a smooth gel filler your derma uses to swiftly 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 gold standard for the treatment of crow’s lines and wrinkles. In 2008, it was the favourite nonsurgical cosmetic procedure - approximately 2.5 million Botox treatments were carried out that year. How does it work? It paralyzes the muscles beneath the wrinkles. Quite simply, it calms your wrinkles. Results last 3 months, after which you’ll get your forehead moving again. A Well known celebrity who had it done incorrectly would be Nicole Kidman. Look Ma, no emotions! Bad for acting really.
Restylane - When Blake lively was seen one time in New York, there was clearly something different with her pout. Evidently, the gossip girl star had Restylane on her lips to give her that irresistible come hither look. Restylane gives 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 one's mouth. For Blake Lively, she used Restylane to enhance her lips. Restylane was the first hyaluronic acid to be approved by the US Food and drug administration 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 outer layers of the skin to reveal 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 reason 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 of age. Dysport is injected on the 5 points between and above your eyebrows. It obstructs the signal from the nerve to the muscles which leads to a decrease in muscle activity and temporarily prevents contractions of the muscles that cause frown lines. However, unlike Botox, the other untreated facial muscles can still move, allowing you to show emotions/expressions on your face. If you wish to repeat the procedure, it is possible after only 3 months.
Perhaps you have seen Sophia Loren lately? She’s still looking great after 77 years on the planet, and although I won’t bet on it, she probably has science to thank for her looks too (and not just her incredible genes!). These procedures arent's cheap - that’s why it’s mostly celebrities who have it done on their faces. If you would like have it done though, better to have it done in a clinic - with a licensed doctor. Or you can always opt for the more inexpensive "doctor" and have your Fifteen minutes of fame on websites featuring cosmetic procedures gone wild!
