It’s no secret that celebrities are swapping injectables for laser treatments at a rapid rate to achieve a more natural look. Once viewed as a necessary evil for plump and youthful skin, many are now reversing their filler treatments due to concerns over how they affect the face long-term. The past five years have seen a big flip from “overfilling” to celebrities dissolving their filler in mass. So what’s the buzz around laser treatments and what are your favorite celebrities getting?
Laser Treatments In A Nutshell vs Injectables
Laser treatments and injectables accomplish similar objectives through different mechanisms of action. During laser treatments, laser energy is delivered into the deep layers of the skin, triggering the production of new collagen by creating tiny controlled injuries in the skin. As the bodies natural healing process kicks in, new skin cells are generated and your skin will plump itself from within - reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In contrast, injectables focused on wrinkles work to temporarily paralyze facial muscles - preventing them from contracting. Without the ability to contract, the targeted muscles relax and your skin smooths out temporary. Injectables of course can also be used to add volume artificially, though there are big risks of migration.
YAG Laser Facial Treatments
For years, people have speculated on what treatments Megan Fox has gotten done to maintain such a youthful appearance. A few weeks ago, the internet finally got an answer in a tell-all with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy. To the shock of many, Fox said, “lasers and stuff like that, I’ve done everything you could possibly do and I always will… in terms of surgery, it’s not that much*,” she said. It’s unclear which lasers Megan swears by but celebrities like Jennifer Anniston swear by lower downtime fractional lasers like those used for the CLEO Glass Skin Laser Facial. Over the years Anniston has slowed down on more aggressive laser procedures like Co2 for lower downtime treatments.
RF Microneedling
Though not technically a “true laser procedure”, RF Microneedling has grown immensely in popularity in recent years amongst celebrities looking to tighten without all of the crazy downtime associated with a face lift. From the likes of Haley Bieber to Brad Pitt to Kate Middleton, many celebrities and others have admitted to getting the treatment in the past and as part of their skincare regimen. What's the major draw for our favorite celebs? It's all about that subtle, natural-looking lift. They need to look refreshed and camera-ready, but the goal isn't always a dramatic transformation. RF Microneedling offers that sweet spot – a visible improvement without screaming "I had work done!" It's the secret weapon behind that "just got back from a relaxing vacation" glow, even when their schedules are anything but relaxing.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal has been adored by celebrities for decades with Kim Kardashian being one of the strongest proponents. The allure is undeniable: permanently smooth skin without the hassle of constant shaving, waxing, or plucking. For those constantly in the public eye, appearing flawlessly groomed is paramount, and laser hair removal offers a long-term solution to achieve just that. Think of red carpet appearances where every detail is scrutinized; laser hair removal ensures celebrities can confidently rock any outfit without worrying about stray hairs. Beyond aesthetics, the time-saving aspect is also a major draw for busy celebrities juggling demanding schedules. It's a treatment that provides lasting convenience and contributes significantly to a polished and camera-ready appearance.
Pico Laser Treatments
When picosecond lasers (pico lasers) came to market a few years ago, they revolutionized the skincare game game. These lasers deliver ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin, targeting pigment issues like sunspots, age spots, and melasma with incredible precision and less heat damage than traditional lasers. This translates to faster recovery times and reduced risk of hyperpigmentation, making them a favorite among celebrities who need to bounce back quickly after treatments. Think of stars like Chrissy Teigen, who has been open about her struggles with melasma and how she has been able to treat with pico lasers. The ability to effectively address pigmentation concerns, often exacerbated by sun exposure and the demands of their careers, while also offering some skin rejuvenation benefits like softening fine lines and improving overall skin tone, makes pico lasers a powerful tool in achieving that coveted celebrity glow. It's a go-to for achieving a brighter, more even complexion without significant downtime, allowing celebrities to maintain their radiant look even with packed schedules.
