You may have seen Christie Brinkley promoting her skin care line, but after doing a little research into the treatments Christie has admitted to having, it was nice to find that she is quite honest about having MANY different treatments in order to look as youthful as she does at 66 years of age.
Christie has listed Radio Frequency, like the Venus Freeze Therapy we use in our 4-Stage Face Lifting, and 5-Stage Face Lifting Treatments as one of the treatments she has regularly used in order to keep her skin thick, firm and youthful looking.
This was no surprising to me, as I could see from the naturally full, smooth and firm appearance of Christie’s skin that she has made the cellular health of her skin a top priority as she has aged. Christie’s features do NOT look pulled-too-tight, which means her team of anti-ageing professionals, (that’s right ladies she has a whole team) are not OVERUSING injectable therapies, but instead are using just using enough Botox and Filler therapies to finish off her look.
Because Christie looks so good at 66, it makes sense that she would create her own line of skincare products.
However, it is NOT realistic to think that using these products will get you the same amazing skin that Christie enjoys.

Around 2018 Christie Brinkley became the ambassador for Ultherapy, (ultrasound technology), however, before this time she used Radio Frequency type treatments to keep her skin thick, strong and healthy.
Ultherapy is very expensive, costing $3500-$4000 per treatment of the full face and neck. A lot is promised by Ultherapy practitioners as far as results from only one treatment. It should always be remembered that it takes many years for the muscles of the face to deplete in size, strength and begin to sag. It also takes many years for the skin to thin, eventually causing issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, enlarged pores and pigmentation issues. It makes sense that it takes time and consistent treatments, completed over a course of several months, to repair, rebuild and improve the skin naturally by stimulating the bodies own healing capacity. IT CANNOT BE DONE IN ONE TREATMENT!
Excerpt from an article by the Daily Mail;

You will notice there is NO mention of Ultherapy in the article featured in the Daily Mail. This is because Christie Brinkley was not working for the company as their ambassador. Ultherapy utilises ultrasound and in my opinion should be avoided as a treatment option due to the treatments being so expensive and the practitioners promising amazing results in just one treatment session.
Often times women are talked into having injectable therapies like Filler within the same treatment session as an Ultherapy treatment. This means that the Filler is gaining the skin a false look of volume and NOT the Ultherapy. Of course over 6-12 months the Filler will wear out leaving the skin looking the same, or worse due to Filler doing nothing to decrease the underlying problem of thinning skin which continues to get worse while the Filler made the skin look better for a short time.
I am also NOT a fan of Thermage therapy due to its cost, and just like Ulterhapy, the practitioners who provide these treatments promise a lot of results after only one treatment. Whilst very young skin may respond well to a treatment like this, mature skin needs time and consistent treatments done over the course of several months to be rebuilt from the deepest layers upwards. Venus Freeze™ Radio Frequency treatments are far more cost effective than Thermage therapy, and practitioners like myself are honest about clients needing to have 6-8 treatments done weekly or fortnightly to gain optimal results, such as dramatically thicker, stronger and more youthful looking skin, which is due to rich new collagen, elastin and blood vessel growth. Many times clients need more treatments if their skin has thinned dramatically due to the natural ageing process in order to gain more dramatic and long term results due to the Radio Frequency treatments thickening the dermis, which is the deepest layer of the skin which is responsible for collagen, elastin and blood vessel growth substantially enough so that it works more like it did when we were in our late 20’s and early 30s.
Venus Freeze™ therapy is the MOST powerful Radio Frequency and Magnetic Pulse therapy available on the market to date and is a far better option than Ultherapy for rebuilding the skin dramatically and gaining lasting results. Venus Freeze™ Treatments are a fraction of the cost of Ultherapy enabling you to have as many treatments as needed to repair, rebuild, lift and tighten the skin. The fact is mature age skin takes time to rebuild, and everyone needs a different amount of treatments to gain the results they want and deserve!
It takes time to repair, rebuild and improve the appearance of the skin, and the only treatment that can dramatically reverse the signs of ageing in ONE TREATMENT is (of course) a surgical face lift. Anyone who promises to reverse the signs of ageing in mature age skin that has substantial visual damage such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging in just one, or even two or three treatment sessions is lying unless it is a treatment process like CO2 laser therapy, which works to burn away the outer layers of the skin to reveal fresh youthful skin beneath. Once again I do NOT recommend these treatments. The reason we get fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin is due to the skin thinning, so why would we chose treatments that can ultimately thin the skin even faster?
Venus Viva™ treatments gain the same dramatic results as the strongest laser therapies, working to resurface the skin dramatically, improving overall pigmentation, decreasing the look of enlarged pores, tightening and refining the overall texture of the skin. Venus Viva™ therapy is non-laser and utilizes Nano-Fractional Radio Frequency and Smart-Scan technology to rebuild all 5 layers of the epidermis and dermis beneath, whilst exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, with no or only minimal visual healing.
My clients are the only women worldwide who can enjoy Venus Viva™ treatments for as little as $230. Learn more! https://jessicatsmedispa.com.au/230-low-grade-venus-viva-treatments-no-healing-time-just-great-results/
It should be kept in mind that Christie Brinkley has great genetics, (when it comes to ageing) and has made smart choices when choosing treatments and lifestyle habits that have enabled her and her team to keep injectable therapies and possible surgical procedures to a minimum in order to keep her looking youthful but not overdone. Money is not a consideration for Christie, so having a one-time treatment like Ultherapy on her full face and neck for $3500-$4000 is no big deal, and due to her skin being in great condition it is no surprise that Christie is a fan. Most of us however, need to get as much bang for our buck as possible, so it is important to choose treatments like Venus Freeze™ over Ultherapy, and NOT spend money on skin care products that do little to nothing!
After my skin began ageing at just 28 years of age I began having every kind of anti-ageing treatment I could possibly afford (many times I really couldn’t afford them, and clocked up a lot of credit card debt, over and over). In time I peeled back the layers of information regarding how and why the skin ages and was able to pinpoint the things we should and should not spend money on in order to truly gain and maintain a youthful appearance. Now I provide the very best treatment procedures to my clients, and of course use them myself, and work to educate women on using very few topical skin care products and investing in at-home technologies that achieve results that traditional skin care products simply CANNOT!
To me Christie Brinkley is a fantastic example of how a mature age woman can maintain a timelessly youthful appearance, and I want to share with you what things Christie does that we can all do, so we can embrace and enjoy the power and beauty of being a mature age woman. Jessicat Xxx
Unfortunately this is simply untrue
Repairing the effects of the ageing process is not as simple as using a few or a lot of skin care products. The simple fact of the matter is, you will NOT gain the same flawless skin as Christie no matter how much you slather on her’s, or any other kind of topical skin care products. Even if you take the next step and have a little Botox and Filler injectable therapies (or a lot) in conjunction with anti-ageing skin care, you will STILL NOT gain the same great looking skin as Christie. Why?
Because she has kept her skin thick, strong and healthy over the years by using treatments that improve collagen, elastin, and blood vessel growth dramatically and on an ongoing basis, addressing the problem of thinning skin head-on.
Whilst we may not have Christie Brinkley’s money, fame or team of beauty professionals, (including the best plastic surgeons and highly experienced doctor’s who provide her injectable therapies) anyone can access the same, (in fact more advanced) treatments that have enabled her to keep thick, firm and healthy skin.
LEARNING IS POWER, SO LET’S TAKE THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE INTO OUR HANDS!
First, we need to understand that over time the skin thins. Thinning skin causes fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, enlarged pores and pigmentation issues like age spots. One of the main reasons the skin begins to thin is due to depleting levels of Adrenosine Triphosphate (ATP) We also need to understand that over time the muscles in the face deplete in size and strength and can begin to sag, causing hollows to form in the facial features and creating sagging skin.
Then we need to understand that we can invest in treatments that include the use of technologies like Venus Freeze™, Venus Viva™ and Microcurrent Muscle treatments which work in harmony with the human body to rebuild the musculature of the face and/or trigger rich new collagen, elastin and blood vessel growth to repair, rebuild and create more youthful looking skin.
It is also important to know the correct number of treatments that has to be performed in order to attain the desired results. It takes time for muscles to deplete in size and strength and for the skin to thin and for fine lines, wrinkles and sagging to appear, so it stands to reason that it will take time to rebuild the skin, with consistent treatments done over a series of months.
We also need to start and continue to learn until we realize that traditional topical skincare products should be discontinued and replaced with a pure Hyaluronic acid (HA), created at your local compound chemist which will properly hydrate your skin, followed by the regular application of sunscreen when going out into the direct sun. Microcurrent therapy works to raise ATP levels by up to 500% in as little as 30-60 seconds and should be performed twice a day, every time you wash and moisturize your skin with a pure Hyaluronic acid (HA) serum. Red LED Light therapy should also be used at home for 20 minutes twice a week, at the strength of 660nm after green tea is applied 20 minutes before treatment.
The above beauty routine will gain you far more results than traditional skincare products ever can!
When it comes to injectable fillers, Christie Brinkley has been quoted saying; “fill but don’t stuff!”
Courtney Cox is iconic for her fresh, energetic and carefree style of beauty. She is famed for looking much younger than she is and is well known for regularly having treatments including injectable therapies like Botox and Filler to keep herself looking youthful.
The pictures shown above are an example of what too much Filler can look like. After seeing pictures of herself Courtney had the Fillers in her skin dissolved and publicly spoke out about losing sight of how she actually looked and going too far with injectable therapies.
After having the Fillers dissolved Courtney is looking much more like her radiant self 🙂

It’s great news that Courteney is becoming educated about Microcurrent therapy, and its amazing ability to repair, rebuild and sculpt the muscles of the face naturally. It is also encouraging that Courteney is a lover of Microneedling treatments. Lets hope she discovers that Venus Viva™ therapy is a far better choice than laser treatments and will enable her to replace both the Microneedling and laser treatments she loves so much and help her to dramatically rebuild and thicken her skin in the way that she wants and deserves.
Jennifer Lopez knows the power of Microcurrent Muscle therapy!
Jennifer Lopez is said to own her very own 25,000 CACI Microcurrent Muscle device. CACI therapy has been enjoyed by some of the most beautiful women in the world like Princess Dianna and Jennifer Aniston to gain and keep a naturally beautiful and sculpted look to their facial features.
Microcurrent Muscle therapy works to keep the muscles lifted, full and strong, maintaining a strong scaffolding for the skin to sit upon. There are Microcurrents for the muscles and Microcurrents for the skin. Using a high-quality Microcurrent skin device allows you to raise Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) by 500% in just 30-60 seconds, providing you with the ultimate daily treatment that will boost collagen and elastin production in a way traditional skincare products simply CAN NOT!
