The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery defines injectables as “used to relax facial wrinkles and folds (such as ‘smile lines’), contour the body (such as reducing the appearance of a ‘double chin’) and improve the signs of facial fat loss by creating structure, framework and volume to the face and lips.”
“I’ve been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I’d be hearing the words ‘Rising Star’ again, so I want to start by thanking my good friends Botox and Juvederm,” she said. “I thought I’d be hearing ‘Slightly Withering Star’ or ‘Drooping Star’ by now, so thank you.”

“When I start going again, I’ll let you know. I mean it,” she said. “I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder. As the founder of R.E.M. Beauty, I think it’s important to have transparency.”
