Christie Brinkley got candid about the work she’s had done.
Brinkley, 71, opened up about what cosmetic procedures she’s tried while chatting with People on Thursday, April 17. “I’ve dabbled with fillers and I go to my doctor in the city,” she shared, noting, “I don’t want to look ‘done’ or anything.”
The actress added that she had just done Fraxel, a laser treatment used for skin resurfacing. “I had skin cancer and that helps get rid of precancerous cells,” she explained. Fraxel also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage by promoting new skin-cell growth.
“It’s mainly about health for me now,” Brinkley said.
As Brinkley gets older, she loves to see more representation of the “seasonal gals” in the media.
“The most beautiful thing that’s happened in our industry of beauty is the expansion of what we consider beautiful,” she said. “Age is the last frontier. You see older women on runways and in magazines but it’s still not enough.”
Brinkley recalled returning to CoverGirl twenty years ago in 2005 as a spokesperson, after being the face of the magazine in 1976.
“When I went back to CoverGirl, it was specifically [for products] with light reflecting things that get inside the wrinkle and reflect out so it blurs,” she said, gushing about the makeup at the time. “I’m not saying that you can’t have wrinkles, but it’s a little less is more.”
This isn’t the first time Brinkley has been real about embracing aging. In July 2024, she posted a sexy photo of herself on Instagram, lying on a bed and wearing a plunging dress.
