Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman just revealed the secret behind her skin, and no, it’s not rest or relaxation. It’s lasers. In fact, her latest video posits that when a friend says she’s going away for the week to catch up on sleep, half the time she’s actually going to a med spa. And other stars are applauding her candor.
“Every year, hundreds of women will say they’re going on a trip or visiting family in Connecticut. But really, they’ll be going HAM at a med spa. Doing crazy shit like Laser Stuff, Salmon Jizz, Sculptra Plaster…or whatever the hell this was,” she said, narrating a slideshow of “after” selfies from her various med-spa adventures.
The montage was set to Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel,” the song from those depressing ASPCA commercials, which Fineman is parodying. “These women will hide themselves away in caves like bears, while taking hundreds of selfies—like this—they’ll send to friends and family, who will lie and say, ‘it’s not that bad.’ This year, I pledge to stop the cycle. Just kidding. I’m going Friday.”
“can we normalize having a ‘Botched’ iPhone photo album ?” Fineman captioned her video, which got three laughing emojis from Lindsay Lohan, perhaps the poster girl for…well, we won’t speculate, but doesn’t she look like she was recently in Connecticut? For context, Lohan credited her current glow to a great self-care regimen and denied facelift rumors in May 2025 during a conversation with none other than Chloe Fineman. At the time, Fineman agreed with Lohan’s defensiveness, saying, “It’s always so weird, like, What are you doing? It’s like, I’m just taking care of myself. Go fuck yourself. You know what I mean?” It’s unclear if she meant that Lohan was taking care of herself or if Fineman was responding to comments made about her own appearance, but in any case, we can now say for sure that Fineman’s routine includes some laser intervention.
And she revealed which procedure is actually worth it. On the same video, Keke Palmer commented, “You always looked good but I do feel you became like 17 real quick. Dm me the deets,” to which Fineman responded, “Fraxel and I’ll message u the NY peeps ;).”
Her interest in a med-spa treatment that won’t leave her red-faced and scabby at showtime is about par for the course today, says Azadeh Shirazi, MD, founder of AZIMD Skincare. “Over the past year I’ve seen continued strong interest in energy-based treatments that deliver real results with minimal downtime. Traditional resurfacing with CO₂ lasers remains popular for patients who want powerful dramatic improvement in texture and deeper lines, while hybrid fractionated lasers like Halo bridge the gap between downtime and efficacy, appealing to those who want powerful results without a full week of gory recovery where you scare small children with open oozy skin,” she told Glamour exclusively.
What is a Fraxel laser treatment?
Administered in a 30- to 45-minute session, the Fraxel treatment makes “deep columns” in your skin called “micro-thermal zones,” per Grossman Dermatology, which stimulates the production of new cells and collagen. After a session, patients feel a “sunburn”-like sensation along with redness and swelling, and then small scabs form.
