Ariana Grande kicked off some speculation about injectables while accepting the Rising Star Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival by thanking her "two friends: Botox and Juvederm"
Ariana Grande Thanks "Botox and Juvederm"
The 31-year-old pop star was commenting on the idea of being a “rising star”.
“You don’t know how much it means to me,” she said on stage. “I’ve been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words ‘rising star’ again, so I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm.”

So what's the deal with Ariana and injectables?
Ariana is one of the few celebrities who has been upfront about having injectable treatments.
During Vanity Fair’s infamous Lie Detector interview, Ariana stated “I’ve had fillers in various places, and Botox. But I stopped like four years ago. And that is the extent.” The lie detector test administrator then reaffirmed Grande’s confession, confirming she was telling the truth.
She reiterated this in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, where she said “I’m still clean. I’m still clean. But when I start going again, I’ll let you know. I mean it. I wanna be transparent. As a beauty founder. As the founder of R.E.M. Beauty, I think it’s important to have transparency. But I love it and I support it. But I am still four years clean.”

What's the difference between Botulinum toxin and Juvederm?
Botulinum toxin and Juvederm are both popular cosmetic injectable treatments, but they work in very different ways.
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles. It's injected in tiny amounts, and is primarily used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscle movements such as frowning or squinting.
Typically, frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines are smoothed, but it can also be used to treat a dimpled chin, or a downturned mouth or even sweaty armpits!
Results typically last 12-16 weeks.
Juvederm is a brand of dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body.
It's a gel-like product that adds volume to the skin. It can be used to fill in lines and wrinkles - like nasolabial lines, marrionette lines or neck bands, or can add volume or shape to lips, noses, jawlines, chins and cheeks.
Results typically last 9+ months.
