While many celebrities have been known to deny going under the needle, Sarah Ferguson is not one of them. Far from it, speaking to the Daily Mail, she revealed that early on in her aesthetics journey, she’d had Botox. However, she wasn’t a massive fan of it. For starters, she explained that she felt it left her unable to move her face much — a big no-no for the duchess, who has always been known for her vivaciousness. For that reason, when another option came up, she and Dr. Gabriela Mercik jumped at the chance.
Said alternative was mesotherapy. Though mesotherapy can be used for various cosmetic purposes (the National Library of Medicine notes that it’s typically used to break down fat), in Ferguson’s case, Mercik used it to reverse sun damage she’d acquired in her early years. As she told Daily Mail, the sun had wrought havoc on her skin during her childhood.
In addition to the Botox and mesotherapy, Ferguson has also had what Daily Mail referred to as organic dermal filler. Neither Mercik nor Ferguson went into much detail, there. It does bear mentioning that another UK-based aesthetic practice, Viva Skin Clinics, has said on their website that they don’t offer organic fillers, as they’re not FDA-approved. However, it’s not shocking that the duchess chose the treatment regardless. As she’d told Daily Mail of her time with Mercik, “I’ve been [Mercik’s] guinea pig with new treatments.”
