Game Of Thrones Actress Carice Van Houten Has A Very Interesting Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Game Of Thrones' Melisandre Has An Interesting Anti-Wrinkle Treatment...

Game of Thrones actress Carice van Houten is no stranger to a bit of torture (who can forget the infamous leech scene), so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that she's tried a shocking beauty treatment in the run up to the season five premiere.

The 38-year-old Dutch actress who plays red priestess Melisandre in the fantasy show, has shared a photo of herself on Instagram having a rather scary looking gadget pressed against her brow.

From van Houten's open-mouthed expression it seems she is about as alarmed by the pronged contraption as we are!

Rest assured this isn't a spoiler showing Melisandre's fate in season five. Van Houten is actually undergoing a CACI Microlift - in which a microcurrent is used to "tone the skin and re-train facial muscles".

Linda Evangelista, Sadie Frost and Gail Porter are also fans, and if you are so inclined you can now buy a handheld Caci Microlift to use at home for £349.99.

Or you can always follow in the lead of 86-year-old model Baddie Winkle and embrace your wrinkles.

For all of us die-hard "Game Of Thrones" fans, this Sunday is a sad one. The season four finale is upon us, and while it's rumored to be the best yet, Sundays without GoT are no Sundays at all.While the men of GoT are badass in their own right, from Jon Snow's daring adventures beyond the wall to Tyrion Lannister's perpetual wit (seriously, if Tyrion dies I will riot), it's the ladies who kick some serious ass -- and they don't even need a sword to do it. And although not all of the female characters are beloved (Cersei Lannister better get the "Red Wedding" treatment pronto), there's no denying that they're all impressively fierce.In honor of these killer female characters, we've put together a list of 12 times the ladies of "Game Of Thrones" were way fiercer than the men over the past four seasons:
1. When Daenerys Targaryen supported #YesAllWomen without even realizing it.(02 of13)
