Botox: The Celebrity Beauty Secret that You Can Try TooHollywood loves their Botox, but they aren’t the only ones. Every day Americans love the treatment, too. It is consistently the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure with more than 6.7 million procedures performed in 2014. Does your favorite celebrity love Botox? Let’s find out.

What Is Botox?

Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for lines and wrinkles. The treatment uses an injected form of a purified protein made from botulinum toxin. It relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles allowing the skin to smooth and the wrinkles to fade away. Injections take less than 30 minutes and the results last 4-8 months. After treatment, you can head immediately back to your regular activities; many patients come in on their lunch breaks for Botox injections and return to work immediately after treatment.

While some celebrities are adamantly against the treatment, many Botox users proudly admit it (and we speculate many use it and don’t admit it). Let’s take a look at a few of Botox’s biggest celebrity fans.
