To get ready for red carpets, photo shoots, and intimate movie scenes, celebrities use a wide range of skin treatments. From Botox to facials, these treatments keep them looking young, taut, and beautiful. Ahead, learn about some of Hollywood's favorite skincare procedures, ranging from fillers to facials.



Botox
Botox is one of the most famous celebrity skin treatments. When it's injected into the skin, Botox reduces the muscle activity that leads to fine lines and wrinkles. It is most commonly used to improve the appearance of forehead lines and crow's feet. Many celebrities now take a Botox Lite approach to the famous procedure, which minimizes the frozen forehead appearance.

Microcurrent Facials
There are many skin treatments to combat the signs of aging, and microcurrent facials are one of the most popular. This form of facial triggers the skin's natural healing processes using electrical currents. This leads to smoother, younger looking skin.

CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a popular way to get rid of unwanted fat and achieve smoother skin. During this non-invasive procedure, stubborn fat cells are frozen and destroyed using cool energy. This can get rid of everything from love handles to inner thigh fat, and it also reduces the appearance of cellulite.

Microdermabrasion
If you're concerned with discoloration or sun damage, you may want to consider microdermabrasion. This treatment gently exfoliates the skin using an abrasive device, which gets rid of the outermost layer of the skin. Signs of sun damage and age spots are removed, leaving behind smooth, soft skin.

Cortisone Shots
If you want to get rid of a pimple ahead of a major event, go to the dermatologist and ask for a cortisone shot. Within two days, your pimple will be a thing of the past. Celebrities don't stop with the cortisone shot, however. They often combine the shot with an Intense Pulsed Light treatment, which can get rid of zits in as little as 24 hours.

Fraxel Laser
Fraxel Laser treatments use laser technology to stimulate the skin's production of collagen. Essentially, these skin treatments force the skin to create new, healthier skin cells. This treatment can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, melasma, acne, scarring, and sunspots.

Chemical Peels
During a chemical peel procedure, an exfoliating acid is applied to the skin. This causes the top layer of the skin to peel off, revealing brighter, more youthful looking skin. There are several types of acids used during these treatments. Mild acids like Alpha-hydroxy acid has a more gentle effect, while glycolic acid can penetrate deeper into the skin. Potent acids like phenol and tricholoracetic acid help patients achieve more dramatic results, but they also require more recovery time.

Fillers
Botox isn't the only injectable on the market. Dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm add volume to the skin, and they can be used to enhance contours, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fill in scars, and augment lips. These non-invasive skin treatments are a quick way to freshen up your appearance.
