Teri Hatcher insists she has never had Botox injections, despite previously admitted to having the cosmetic procedure. The 42-year-old actress claims she has never used any type of wrinkle-removing chemical treatments or plastic surgery of any kind.

She is quoted by Daily Express newspaper as saying: "I don't use Botox or Restylane and I've never had any surgery. A male friend in the fashion industry once asked me, 'Why is make-up any different to getting Botox?' I said I didn't think it was a fair comparison, make-up is removable, it's not permanent. But changing the natural chemical state of who you are? I'm not sure."

In March 2006, the Desperate Housewives star admitted having Botox and collagen injections - which plump up the lips - to keep her looking young. Teri - who plays hapless Susan Mayer in the US TV show - said: "In the past, I've had Botox and collagen."
