Yearning for skin like Jennifer Lopez or Cate Blanchett? Well, it turns out that there's more to it than a good diet, an adequate amount of sleep, top-tier genetics and three inches of makeup.

We're talking about laser and light treatments.

Lasers may be useful for fictional lightsaber showdowns but in real life, they serve as a different kind of weapon - an anti-aging one, loved especially by celebs. However, today's new-generation bright beam devices aren't anything like the old ones. Whether it's a straightforward zap-and-go or an ultra-luxe treatment that's paired with other skin-loving extras, there's little chance you'll emerge from a clinic or spa looking like a wounded tomato thanks to advances in tech.

To make life a little easier, we've rounded up some places and treatments to check out.

Red Carpet Skin Perfector

Whether you're preparing for a big event or need a quick pick-me-up, this prescriptive skin-perfecting treatment will help you find your lime)light.

Specifically designed by Dr Maybelle Tan from The Belle Clinic to have zero downtime, the red carpet treatment starts with a light exfoliation to clear dead skin and retexturize enlarged pores. Then comes the pièce de résistance: an FDA-cleared medical-grade laser to gently improve the texture and hue of dull skin. This is capped off with a luxurious hyaluronic acid facial to re-establish the water balance in stressed skin.
