by | Feb 6, 2025

The glitz, the glamour, the fashion – awards season is upon us! From the Oscars to the ARIAs, it’s a time for celebrities to shine their brightest. But what goes on behind the scenes to ensure those A-list faces are camera-ready? Enter the world of pre-awards facial treatments.

These treatments are like a Hollywood secret weapon, helping stars achieve that flawless, radiant complexion that stuns on the red carpet. But fret not, mere mortals – many of these treatments are available to you and me too! Let’s delve into the world of celebrity facial prep and explore some of the most popular choices, suitable for both men and women.

Hydration For a Flawless Foundation

Dehydration is the enemy of a glowing complexion, and celebrities know this well. A key step in pre-awards prep is to ensure skin is plump and hydrated. Hydrafacial is a celebrity-favourite treatment (think Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen). This multi-step process cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums. Austin Clinic also offers a similar treatment called the HydroPeptide Facial that uses medical-grade skincare products to achieve similar results.

Intravenous (IV) Drip Therapy involves delivering fluids, vitamins, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream. It’s a popular choice for an instant hydration boost, favoured by Rihanna and Kendall Jenner. If that’s a little over-the-top for you, Austin Clinic provides a facial vitamin infusion that can deliver similar benefits.

Lifting and Sculpting: For That Chiselled Look

A sculpted jawline and lifted features are a hallmark of the red-carpet ready look. Here are some treatments celebrities might use to achieve this:

Anti-wrinkle treatments – This fast-acting face fix relaxes muscles to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It is a popular choice amongst celebrities of all genders, some notable mentions include George Clooney and Blake Lively.

Volume enhancement – These can be used to add volume to areas like the cheeks and lips, creating a more youthful and defined appearance. They are another popular treatment choice for celebrities, with users such as Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt being open about their use.

For Skin Brighter than the Spotlight

For an even and radiant complexion, celebrities often turn to treatments that brighten and tighten the skin.

Chemical Peels: These treatments use a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layer of skin, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Matthew McConaughey and Salma Hayek are two stars who have spoken openly about using chemical peels for a pre-awards glow. Austin Clinic offers a range of chemical peels, including glycolic acid and lactic acid peels, that can help achieve similar results.

When You’re Laser-Focused on Beauty

Laser treatments are a powerful tool for addressing a variety of skin concerns, and celebrities are no strangers to their benefits. Here are some popular options:

Fractional Laser Treatment: This laser targets specific areas of the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture. Celebrities such as Halle Berry and Robert Pattinson have reportedly used fractional laser treatments to achieve a youthful look. Austin Clinic offers these treatments to help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage.

Laser Skin Tightening: This treatment uses laser energy to tighten the skin and improve its elasticity. Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney are rumoured to be fans of laser skin tightening for a more youthful appearance. Austin Clinic offers similar treatments under the name Radiofrequency Skin Tightening, which uses radio waves to achieve a lifting and tightening effect.
