The red carpet secret behind Hollywood's biggest glows this awards season.
From the Oscars to the BAFTAs and the SAGs, one device has been quietly making its way into the makeup kits of Hollywood's most in-demand artists this awards season…
Ali Larter, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Alicia Vikander all had one thing in common in their pre-red carpet rituals: the LYMA Laser PRO. And its reach doesn't stop there: Hilary Duff trusted the same device before her appearance on The Tonight Show.
Using clinical-grade cold laser technology to deliver visibly firmer, more luminous skin with zero downtime, the LYMA Laser PRO has become the non-negotiable first step for those preparing faces under the most unforgiving lights in the world. And the results aren't reserved for Hollywood, anyone can achieve the same healthy, radiant glow from the comfort of home.
Here's how it showed up across the biggest nights of the year.
Ali Larter at the SAG Awards
Ali Larter's complexion at the SAG Awards: firm, flawless, and camera-perfect under the flashbulbs, was the kind of result that starts long before any makeup is applied. The 50-year-old actress, currently lighting up screens in Landman, proves that great skin only gets better with time. Her makeup artist, Kelsey Deenihan Fisher, made the LYMA Laser PRO a non-negotiable first step in her red carpet preparation.
"Before the SAG Awards, using the LYMA Laser PRO on Ali was about strengthening the skin from within before any makeup went on. Its clinical-grade cold laser technology helps stimulate collagen, support cellular renewal, smooth texture, and visibly refine fine lines with no downtime, creating a firmer, more even canvas. When the skin is healthy and balanced at that level, makeup looks seamless and effortless on the carpet."

Hilary Duff's Tonight Show Appearance
The LYMA Laser PRO's impact doesn't stop at the awards circuit. After experiencing the results first-hand on Ali Larter, Kelsey Deenihan Fisher immediately added the device to her permanent kit and reached for it again when preparing Hilary Duff for her appearance on The Tonight Show in New York. At 38, the actress and singer is in the middle of a career renaissance and her skin looks every bit the part.
"I added the LYMA Laser PRO to my kit after using it on Ali for the SAG Awards and immediately saw the difference in how smooth and radiant the skin looked under makeup. I couldn't pass up the chance to use it on Hilary before her appearance on The Tonight Show. It's such an incredible step in prep because it helps boost skin clarity and creates the perfect canvas for makeup."

Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars
Gwyneth Paltrow's return to the Academy Awards red carpet in a breathtaking Armani Privé gown was one of the most talked-about moments of the night. At 53, she remains one of Hollywood's most compelling presences - and the skin to match. The look, crafted by celebrity makeup artist Georgie Eisdell, called for a complexion that felt as elevated as the couture she was wearing - and the GOOP Beauty x LYMA Laser PRO was the starting point.
"Skin prep began with the GOOP Beauty + LYMA Laser PRO to boost circulation and create a smooth, radiant base. When the skin is healthy and balanced at that level, makeup looks seamless and effortless on the carpet."
- Georgie Eisdell, Celebrity Makeup Artist
The finished look - softly sculpted warmth, diffused eyes, a barely-there nude lip - was described by Eisdell as 'elegant, effortless, and timeless.' Exactly what a healthy skin foundation, amplified by the Laser PRO, makes possible.
Alicia Vikander at the BAFTAs
Alicia Vikander stepped onto the BAFTA Film Awards red carpet in custom Louis Vuitton, her skin polished and camera-ready under the full glare of the flashbulbs. The 37-year-old Oscar winner looked immaculate - a result that didn't happen by accident. Behind it: celebrity makeup artist Kelly Cornwell, who used the LYMA Laser PRO as the centrepiece of her preparation.
"Today's look for Alicia started with good prep. It's so important to spend time prepping the skin before any makeup is applied. The LYMA Laser PRO is perfect for this. It delivers clinic-grade results with zero pain and zero downtime, penetrating deep into the skin to reverse signs of ageing - on a big night like the BAFTAs, that prep is everything."
- Kelly Cornwell, Celebrity Makeup Artist
Cornwell's approach: clean skin, full-face laser treatment, then makeup, produced the kind of immaculate finish that's become LYMA's calling card on the red carpet.
From the red carpet to the late-night stage, the preparation ritual is the same - and the LYMA Laser PRO is at the heart of it.
