How A-Listers Get Oscars-Ready Skin: Inside the High-Tech Medspa Models Swear by Before Hitting Red Carpets

Getting that red-carpet glow isn't luck — it’s strategy. And at TREAT Medspa in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood, the strategy is rooted in high-tech analysis, next-level treatments and a fully customized plan trusted by models, stylists and glam teams across the industry.

Known as the go-to medspa for APM Models and fashion favorites like PatBo, TREAT has built a reputation for getting clients camera-ready fast.

The secret starts with Aura, the spa's 3D facial imaging system that maps the skin down to the millimeter.

Using AI to evaluate volume, tone and texture, the scan gives estheticians a blueprint for exactly what each face needs — no guesswork, no generic treatment menus.

From there, TREAT's experts create a personalized "red carpet" routine designed to lift, smooth and brighten in all the right places.

Among the most in-demand options include:

• EmFace – A needle-free sculpting treatment that uses synchronized radio frequency and HIFES technology to tone facial muscles for instant contour and long-term lift.
• Laser Genesis – A celeb-beloved laser that boosts collagen, softens fine lines and delivers a glassy, flash-friendly finish.
• Emsculpt Neo – For the body, this treatment pairs radio frequency and electromagnetic energy to melt fat while building muscle, ideal for anyone looking to sculpt before a big event.
• Hydrafacial – The dewy finishing touch, infusing the skin with antioxidants and peptides for a luminous, hydrated glow.

With nearly 20 years in advanced aesthetics, founder and lead esthetician Lindsay Malachowski says personalization is the entire point. "There’s no one-size-fits-all for great skin. Aura gives us the data to create a completely customized plan — so you’re not just glowing, you’re confident from every angle," she explains.

According to Sarah Bonner, TREAT's Head of Growth and longtime industry insider, timing matters just as much as the treatments themselves. "Ideally, you want to start prepping at least two to three weeks before an event. That gives your skin enough time to rebuild collagen, lift and smooth — so by the time the big night arrives, you’re glowing, not recovering," she notes.

Whether it's an awards show, a photo shoot or just a night out when you want to look your absolute best, one thing is clear: at TREAT, red-carpet skin starts with science — and the results speak for themselves.
