Brooke Shields is representing a new laser sculpting procedure called Sculpsure, which is an approximately $1,500 laser treatment that is supposed to target and reduce fat around the stomach and back, depending on the treatment area. It takes about three months to see result and reviews are somewhat positive, but it’s hard to tell which sites are legitimate. It’s similar to CoolSculpting in that it’s a non-invasive treatment that’s touted as an alternative to liposuction. Anyway Brooke, 53, is featured in People’s Most Beautiful issue. She talks about the challenges of staying fit as you age and how this procedure can target that. I wanted to talk about the fitness aspect in particular as it rings true to me. Here’s some of what she said.
At an event in Los Angeles on Tuesday celebrating her new partnership with the body-contouring treatment, SculpSure, the 53-year-old actress told PEOPLE she’s learned to accept that aging is simply “going to happen.”
“I think you have to embrace it, but at the same time, be willing to do what you feel comfortable with,” she said, adding that she looks her best when she’s “working out all the time, getting enough sleep, drinking a lot of water [and] drinking less alcohol.”
“I work out a lot and I always try to stay really fit and really healthy — it’s a lot of work,” Shields said. “And the older you get, the harder it is. There are some spots that no matter what I did, no matter how much weight I lost, they were still there. They caused me to be insecure, and for all of the hard work that I was doing, that was really frustrating to me. SculpSure addresses that.”
While Shields was willing to try this non-invasive procedure, she said she’s a bit more reluctant when it comes to other plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures — although she “can’t ever say never.”
“It all makes me hesitant, but I’m not against it,” she said. “My mom [Teri] had a face lift when she was in her early 40s, and by the time she was 70, she looked 50. It helped her. But I saw how hard the recovery is.”
I think it gets harder to stay fit the older you get because the little things add up. You start to feel more tired so you work out less, then that makes you feel more tired and less likely to push yourself, rinse and repeat. Plus my god you get hungry as you approach menopause. The hormone changes really make you want to eat. You can definitely stay active and eat less but the older you get the more work it takes. That’s a good way to describe it. Also I’m all for women doing whatever they want to feel better about themselves but these type of treatments seem iffy to me and I don’t have the cash for them.
