Chloe Fineman is opening up about her experiences with unsuccessful cosmetic treatments as she sets a personal goal for 2026.
The 37-year-old Saturday Night Live star used Instagram on Sunday to post images from what she calls her “‘Botched’ iPhone photo album,” which contains snapshots of her face following various visits to a medical spa.
“Every year, countless women claim they’re off to a vacation or visiting relatives in Connecticut. In reality, they’re indulging in extreme med spa treatments like laser sessions, salmon injections, sculptra fillers, or whatever this was,” Fineman narrated over the collection of images.
She added, “These women seclude themselves like hermits, taking countless selfies like these which they send to friends and family who reassure them, saying, ‘It’s not that bad.’”
“This year, I vow to break this pattern,” she declared, only to humorously add, “Just kidding, I’m booked for Friday.”
The post quickly attracted comments from other celebrities, including comedian Annie Sertich who recalled, “I’ll never forget when you sent me a selfie and asked… ‘Do you think I can still perform tonight at The Groundlings? It’s not that bad,’” making light of the situation.
Keke Palmer also chimed in, joking, “You always looked good but suddenly you turned like 17 overnight. DM me the details.”
Fineman has been candid about her adventures with beauty enhancements in the past. She recounted to Refinery29 her first unfortunate experience with Botox. “I tried it first during the pandemic,” she shared. “I thought, ‘Great, I’m not going out for 6 months, why not?’ The practitioner overdid it. I bought it on a Groupon, which was a mistake. I sneaked out and didn’t tell my boyfriend. Now, I avoid it because I don’t want a frozen face.”
She humorously noted that after receiving a Fraxel laser treatment, “I resembled the fire scene from Little Rascals,” mentioning, “I had to cancel a performance at The Groundlings because I would have frightened people.”
In an April 2024 interview with Into The Gloss, Fineman joked about being “at the prime age for med spa blunders,” admitting, “Every six months, I seem to tell [my makeup artist] Marc Reagan, ‘Sorry, I messed up. Whoops.’”
