Botulinum toxin Type A (Botox) was primarily used to treat muscle spasms before gaining popularity as a cosmetic treatment.
Botox is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment administered by a doctor to
treat frown lines. Botox works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause the frown lines that develop as people age. With appearance playing an important factor in their careers, many celebrities use Botox and aren't afraid to admit it.
Jenny McCarthy, 36, says she goes for Botox every 2 months, "My tricks are I get Botox in my forehead – I just have my doctor do a little shoter there. If you overdo, it looks bad."
Vanessa Williams, 45, is a fan of Botox – even her character on Ugly Betty has her gay assistant give her Botox injections in her office. Vanessa gets injections in real life every 3 months.
Model Daisy Fuentes, 42, uses Botox, "There's a right time for things like Botox as you get older."
Lisa Rinna recently admitted to going overboard with Juvederm injections in her face. "In my family, it's hereditary to have scowl marks between the eyebrows." Lisa gets injections every 3 months.
Lori Loughlin is a Botox user. "It makes you look like you've been on a really nice vacation. Just really well-rested."
Jennie Garth says she didn't have a good first experience with Botox. She told her doctor next time she wanted less. "I don't want my face to change."
Linda Evangelista openly talks her use of Botox. "How do other women feel when they see the pictures? Models are not superhuman. We grow old," Linda says.
Jennifer Aniston has admitted she once tried Botox and wasn't a fan. "I tried Botox once. I felt like I had a weight on my head. You see women, you know they're not young, but you can't tell how old they are."
