Subtle enhancements can make a world of difference—just ask Kelly Ripa. She has openly shared how cosmetic treatments have helped her look and feel her best for years.
Kelly is proof that the right procedures can enhance—not change—your natural beauty. At Advanced Dermatology P.C., our board-certified dermatologists use advanced medical, cosmetic and plastic surgery techniques to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself.
Kelly Ripa’s Public Statements About Cosmetic Procedures
Never one to shy away from sharing details about her beauty regimen, Kelly Ripa has been refreshingly open about her use of Botox® and other cosmetic treatments.
In 2022, the popular actress and talk show host spoke candidly and unapologetically about her celebrity cosmetic procedures in an interview with Page Six Style.
“I’m not saying you should let people bully you into cosmetic procedures. These are my choices for me,” Ripa asserted, reflecting on how comfortable she’s become with expressing her emotions publicly every morning on “Live with Kelly and Ryan”—and seeing herself on television.
At 54, Kelly continues to be open about her cosmetic dermatology experiences. In February, she revealed on her podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, that she receives Botox injections regularly and may be “interested in the mini facelift” in the future.
With Kelly’s personal experience as a backdrop, let’s examine how Botox treatments can deliver subtle, youthful, results for men and women.
Botox Treatments
Botox can help soften wrinkles caused by facial movements (e.g., frown lings, crow’s feet, and forehead line) or completely eliminate them. However, the amount injected can be completely individualized.
Injectable Fillers
Fillers help plump areas where lines have settled, or fullness has diminished with age. Common target areas include the mouth, lips, or cheeks, and can be done to look completely natural.
With fillers, you can still look like you—just more youthful. The best part is the procedures have very little downtime, and makeup can be applied almost immediately to hide any minor bruising or swelling resulting from the treatment.
Other Treatments She’s Discussed
In addition to facial Botox treatments, Kelly Ripa has also admitted to having injections in her armpits to “keep from sweating” and may consider lip injections in the future.
But did Kelly Ripa have plastic surgery? So far, she’s saying no, although she is not opposed to considering breast augmentation in the future.
Understanding Popular Cosmetic Procedures
How Botox Works
Treatments involve injecting a neurotoxin (botulinum) to targeted areas to temporarily block nerve cells to muscles, preventing them from contracting. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles for three to six months.
Botox may also be used to help with migraines, eye twitches, excessive sweating and other medical conditions.
Dermal Fillers Explained
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that help restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve the appearance of facial features. They include:
- Hyaluronic acid.
- Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA).
- Calcium hydroxyapatite
- Fat cells (from your body).
Complementary Treatments
If you are considering Botox or another dermal filler, certain treatments can enhance results by addressing skin issues, like hyperpigmentation, redness, and overall skin tone, at the same time.
Treatments to pair with Botox and other dermal fillers:
- Microneedling to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone.
- Laser and light-based treatments to address issues with pigmentation, redness, and skin tone.
- Facials and chemical peels to address skin issues like rough texture, uneven skin color, acne, and sun damage.
- Dermaplaning to gently remove dead skin cells and other impurities from the skin’s surface.
