Former TLC star Jon Gosselin revealed he had botox-like anti-aging injections and a cutting-edge slimming procedure to make sure he looked his best as he DJed at the Sundance Film Festival.
The 46-year-old reality star and DJ told US Sun that he sometimes feels like “scum” mixing with “beautiful people” in celebrity circles and decided he needed to “cooperate”.

Jon exclusively told US Sun, “I was booked to DJ at Sundance, so I went to the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center pop-up there and I was a little hesitant at first.
“They asked me if I wanted Botox and I said: Do I need Botox?!
“I was advised to get some Dysport between my eyebrows which is very similar to botox and I decided to go for it.
“Two of my very good friends came with me and did it too, they said it doesn’t hurt. Me and my friends even came up with a new name for it. ‘Brotox!’

“So I did it, I didn’t feel a thing. Now I’ve developed an OCD to look at myself in the mirror and take selfies!”
Jon revealed he had another procedure, saying: “Then I had the CellSound where they put a metal device, all over my midsection, everywhere I’m fat basically! It was a fat-breaking treatment and it took about 45 minutes and I lost a couple of centimeters. They measured me before and after.
“It was kind of like a Stim machine for the muscles, so it didn’t hurt at all. You need to do a few consecutive treatments to see significant results.
“Almost all the women had these treatments, and I thought, ‘What the hell am I doing lying here half-naked?’ But I think more and more men are making it.”
The former Jon and Kate Plus Eight star revealed that his full-time DJ job isn’t always conducive to a healthy lifestyle.
But he said he has to be able to compete with DJs who are often a decade younger than him.
“If someone had asked me, ‘Do you need Botox?’ then I would say no, because it is not necessary for life, but I need it to be able to compete in my market. I’m 46, a lot of other DJs are 10 years younger than me,” John said.
“I work from 11pm to 4am, four days a week, so it’s a different lifestyle, it messes with your body a lot. I eat dinner at 3:30 p.m. so I don’t get sick at the concert and then I’m hungry until my concert is over, but I don’t want to eat late and then go to bed.
“If I was ever thinking about getting liposuction or a tummy tuck, I don’t really like the pain, so that puts me off.”
“So I opted for Botox and CellSound and we also did an oxygen bar and an IV. I’m feeling a lot better and it was good to have a little confidence boost before my DJ set because I come to these things and ‘I’m surrounded by everybody these beautiful people from Los Angeles and I feel like such a schlub coming from the East Coast and I think I better make it,” he continued.
“The people here are all from LA or celebrities from all over the world and they drink like nothing, everyone takes care of themselves and everything is organic and vegetarian, and we run around saying, ‘Where’s the best burger?’ We just live in a different east coast lifestyle.
“But it was nice to take care of myself, so I looked and felt better before the set.”
“Over the past few years it’s become more and more common to see men coming to the center for treatments like Dysport, hormones, CellSound and various skin tightening treatments,” said Dan Holtz, co-founder of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center where Jon was treated. he said.
“We’ve always been in the business of helping people look and feel their best, so helping Jon prepare at Sundance for his Media.com panel and DJ set with the CellSound Machine and some Dysport is a treat.”
PANEL SUNDAYS
In addition to DJing at the Media.com Beats & Burgers Bash at the festival, Jon took part in a panel where he opened up about being placed under a gag order after leaving the TLC show and splitting from ex Kate Gosselin, with whom he shares eight children.
She joined celebrities including former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks on the Power of Reputation Panel, an event marking the launch of a new social network called Media.com designed to curb online misinformation allowing only verified profiles.
“It was so nice to meet other people who identified with what happened to me and we could all talk about it,” Jon said of his time speaking on the panel.
“I was under a gag order for years so I couldn’t talk about my side of the story, even though there were a lot of people supporting Kate and lying about me. I couldn’t answer any of that.
“Since I left the show in 2009, I was silenced until 2018, I couldn’t talk about anything, nothing, but Kate could.
“It was like being in a boxing ring and not being allowed to fight back. I felt like, ‘Dude knock me out because I’m sick of all the punches.’
“I just felt like people were just attacking me for years and I couldn’t fight back. I didn’t just lose my voice, I never had a voice. I just had to deal with it.”
“DJ is the only thing that helped me through all the hard times because it gives me an outlet. I think I speak through my music. I look back and use relevant lyrics from the past to tell my own story.” he he said.
After a years-long custody battle, Kate had custody of twins Maddy and Kara, 23, and sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Alexis and Leah, 19.
John had custody of the remaining sextuplets Hannah and Colin.
Jon is now dating girlfriend Stephanie Lebo.
As for Kate, she lives a quiet life away from the limelight in North Carolina.
