Whilst many Hollywood stars are coy about their use of Botox and certainly don’t go out of their way to shout about it, a well-known actress has spoken out proudly and admitted that she both uses and likes Botox.
Courtney Thorne-Smith, 44, who stars in Two and a Half Men, told People when asked about Botox that, “It's never been a secret in my personal life – I've just never been asked by the press. I've used it, I like it, it works well for me. That's just the simple truth."
The actress admits that she first started getting Botox injections around 10 years ago, when lines begun to appear on her forehead which she didn’t like the look of.
She explained, "I found I've been able to use it and have full expression and look really normal. I found the frown line was distracting me – I was conscious of it. Now I'm not."
Botox is a popular non-permanent cosmetic treatment. It’s particularly useful for treating frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crows’ feet and many use it because they find it gives a natural-looking youthfulness. A lot of Botox-users say it does not freeze the face like some treatments can so normal facial expressions are still possible and another advantage is that it wears off naturally over time.
Thorne-Smith said she hopes that if she looks after her skin well and uses Botox, she will not need any other cosmetic surgery later in life, although she didn’t rule out further procedures. She said her key concern with any procedures is still looking like herself and that her face does not look frozen.
Other celebrities that are reported to have had Botox include Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, Cindy Crawford, Danni Minogue, Kylie Minogue, Amanda Holden and Lulu.
