As every year in May the Crème de la Crème of the film business met also these days at the film festival of Cannes to grab the popular Golden Palm with a bit of luck.
Nicole Kidman didn’t want to let this chance slip as well. Although she didn’t win the main price this time, she provides the media lot of stuff. Already in the forefront there were discussions about her new film Grace of Monaco, which opened the film festival this year, because the children of ex-Hollywood diva and later Princess of Monaco weren’t satisfied with the filmic staging of their mother’s life.
Anyway – the film was played and Nicole Kidman was shining in her role as Grace Kelly on the screen. On the red carpet the 46-year-old ex-wife of Tom Cruise didn’t really cut a fine figure: Her surprisingly artificial appearance attracted the attention of the media. Journalists of the Australian news platform news criticized that the Australian diva would have presented herself “frozen and ballooned” in public.
Only last year the actress confessed what has long been apparent, namely the fact that she had tried out botox and artificial fillers, but professed also that she rather will waive it in future due to her dissatisfaction with the result. Obviously she didn’t take her resolution quite to heart.
A treatment with the neurotoxin “botulinumtoxin” entails restricted mimic and hardly movable corners of the mouth. As you know as a reader of my blog use of botox leads to degeneration of skin glands, which let skin appear thinner and dryer. Of what avail is wrinkle-freedom if you look older after that treatment?
Thus we recommend her another treatment: Autologous stem cells out of fat and growth factors have the potential to regenerate skin from within.
A treatment with autologous stem cells can help to rejuvenate and tighten facial skin in a natural way – completely without botox, fillers and facelift with scalpel. Thereby a liposuction with microcannulas is done to obtain a small amount of the patient’s autologous fat from which stem cells are extracted through a special procedure.
Volume deficits caused by premature aging, for example at the jaw line, can indeed be re-filled with stem cell-enriched autologous fat, by which means the face appears harmonious again. However a treatment with stem cell suspension is mostly sufficient to achieve a significantly better facial skin quality.
Supportively or alternatively the local regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from autologous blood and growth factors from skin cells could be used. They are injected gently with the help of fine micro-needles directly into the concerned skin areas.
Both Nicole Kidman and Grace Kelly lived as Hollywood divas. Grace retired from the film business to fully apply herself to the principal role of her life, princess and mother of her country. A certain similarity do they have in common. Because botox spread after Grace’s death she wasn’t tempted to try and thus she always looked natural. On the contrary Nicole couldn’t resist the temptation of botox, but she should and take Grace as role model. Then in future Nicole would be spared of the malice of Australian media, which should rather show unrestricted admiration to their flagship diva.
