Plastic surgeons reveal why Jimmy Fallon’s face never ages
You’d expect that ten years of hosting a late-night talk show, with its toll on sleep and stress, would leave visible marks on the face.
But plastic surgeons say Tonight Show frontman Jimmy Fallon has maintained the same near-wrinkle-free complexion since he started working in 2014.
They believe that his appearance may not be purely due to genetics.
The experts told DailyMail.com they believe Fallon has undergone a steady stream of subtle injectables, fillers and laser treatments over the years to achieve his age-defying looks at 50.
His forehead, once expressive during sketches in the 2000s, now appears unusually frozen, indicating Botox use, according to San Francisco plastic surgeon Dr. Corey Maas.
Dr. Mass said: ‘His forehead, unnaturally smooth and unwrinkled, contrasts with his otherwise vibrant facial features, creating a slight but noticeable mask-like effect.’
Cosmetic dermatologists told DailyMail.com that visible differences in the appearance and depth of the lines on Fallon’s forehead, especially when he smiles, indicate that doctors use small, steady doses of Botox or Dysport every few months over a period of years.
According to Dr. Angela Lamb, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City, the keys to aging gracefully with the help of modern medicine are doing a little over a long time and going to a doctor with a light hand.
She told DailyMail.com that ‘when people go to people who have a heavier hand, these kinds of things tend to distort faces.’
She speculated that Fallon began non-surgical procedures such as Sculptra, an FDA-approved injectable filler that replenishes lost facial volume associated with aging, smoothes wrinkles and improves facial contours.
It is also possible that Mr. Fallon receives relatively regular Botox injections, which temporarily freeze the facial muscles and restrict their movement to soften existing wrinkles and prevent the formation of new ones.
Or he may have undergone procedures that blasted the face with low-strength radio waves to stimulate collagen production, which promotes a more youthful appearance by tightening the skin, improving texture and reducing fine lines.
Dr. Lamb said: ‘They don’t distort your face, so those are the ways to look the best version of yourself, or in his case the best version of 50, but not look unrecognizable once you start doing more things such as fillers, Botox.’
She added: ‘Maybe he just did them very subtly, like my patients.
“When we do them, it’s very subtle, and we do it little bits at a time, so it’s not noticeable.”
Dermatologists usually apply regular neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport every three or four months to prevent deeper lines from developing around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
This ensures a more graceful aging process, so the patient does not look permanently stunned or unable to move their lips.
Dr. Gary Motykie, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, said, “His smooth forehead with little to no visible movement is a common indicator of Botox use.”
Cosmetic dermatologists said Fallon may have received low doses of filler in his jawline in recent years to keep it full and as defined as possible
In addition to his wrinkle-free complexion, Mr. Fallon’s face remains full and youthful at age 50.
In general, facial fat loses volume as a person ages because the skin’s natural supports begin to break down and the fat pads shift downward, creating a more tired and sunken appearance.
According to Dr. Motykie, Mr. Fallon’s face, especially around the cheeks and under the eyes, is an exception.
‘This could suggest the use of fillers or facial fat grafting to restore volume and maintain a smooth, refreshed appearance.’
Hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used filler in cosmetic procedures, and Dr. Joel Kopelman, a New York City-based plastic surgeon, thinks it may have been in use.
He told DailyMail.com: ‘Fillers such as hyaluronic acid-based products can help restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, soften nasolabial folds and give the face a more lifted and youthful contour.
‘This can also improve skin smoothness and create a fresher appearance.’
Mr. Fallon’s jawline has also retained its definition over the years, which according to Dr. Lamb could point out that his doctor injected filler there.
She said: ‘That’s one of the most popular things men do.
‘They want to have a strong jaw, which makes you masculine and makes you look young. [Doctors] You can just put some filler along that corner of the jaw to give people some of that volume back.”
Cosmetic dermatologists noticed differences in the volume of Fallon’s cheeks over the years. They look plumper, smoother and fuller than before they appeared on the Tonight Show stage in 2013
Many other treatments on Medspa menus can help a star achieve such a flawless complexion.
Microneedling, which uses tiny needles to create tiny wounds that prompt the skin to heal itself, and Morpheus8, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to amplify these effects, help stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, helping texture improves and fine lines are reduced. said Doctor Motykie.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments target issues such as dark spots and sun damage, helping to even out skin tone and provide a brighter, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Kopelman added that microneedling, laser resurfacing and similar, less invasive procedures “help address skin texture and pigmentation, creating a more polished appearance” and “can lead to noticeable improvements in skin quality over time.”
A nearly flawless complexion like Fallon’s can be achieved with a combination of injectables and medical-grade skincare products designed to boost collagen and hydrate the skin. Sunscreen to protect against the sun’s harmful UVA rays is also crucial.
Dr. Motykie said: ‘This combination of non-invasive treatments, injectables and good skin care can help maintain a flawless, youthful complexion, just like what Mr Fallon is known for.’
Mr. Fallon’s representatives did not return a request for comment.
