Just as powerful is the pressure to stay in the spotlight. Industry titans are embracing a new generation of technologies that promise lifted features and age-defying results with modest to no downtime. Here are some of the less invasive procedures seducing Hollywood, as well as some of their most sought-after practitioners. All Hail Fat For those on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, don't go losing too much fat - it might just be your personal fountain of youth. If you'd rather rejuvenate skin using your own tissue instead of foreign fillers, fat transfer (aka fat grafting) offers a compelling natural alternative. Typically harvested from the thighs or abdomen via liposuction or a syringe, fat is gently purified and re-injected to restore volume and smooth wrinkles on the face, hands, and beyond. The result? Natural-looking, minimally invasive rejuvenation, without the overfilled look.

"As the face matures, volume is lost in the upper half of the face through thinning bone, muscle, fat, and skin." While hyaluronic acid-based fillers are frequently used to replenish lost volume, fat is Samimi's preferred source for his signature Restore technique. "This involves harvesting fat in smaller micro globules, making the fat resemble smooth liquid. The fat is placed in the deeper tissue layers of the face using micro cannulas in multiple directions from strategic port sites resulting in smoother skin and more facial harmony." Dr. Marc Mani's trademarked MIST (Minimally Invasive Stromovascular Transfer) method harnesses the regenerative power of stromal vascular cells naturally found in fat to restore skin health at a cellular level. "I inject these cells into the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to rejuvenate the skin," he explains. "It's truly regenerative, and I often combine it with fat transfer to improve sun damage, fine lines, melasma, acne scars, and volume loss." Bespoke Body Contouring Whereas fashion stylists shape your outfits, body stylists promise to sculpt your silhouette. The secret to Hollywood's most flawless figures isn't just lighting or makeup - it's what happens days before and even the day of. Behind the scenes, both male and female red-carpet regulars are slipping into Shapetress, a serene Santa Monica studio, known for non-invasive sculpting treatments. After three sessions of the non-invasive CryoSelene treatment at Lauren Rock's Shapetress Courtesy of Shapetress Lauren Rock's proprietary therapies melt away inches, tighten skin and reduce cellulite with zero downtime. The MedWave Narrow Light Technology uses a patented focused light therapy to achieve impressive results. "Clients lose 5 to 12 inches when using the machine every 4-5 days," claims Rock. Another standout, Cryo Selene, offers cold sculpting to lift and tone the skin on the face and body and is said to permanently eliminate fat deposits around the belly, back, love handles and thighs. "It's one of the only face treatments safe enough to do the day of a big event," says Rock. And The Vive, developed by the co-creator of the Pacemaker, claims to replicate three hours of exercise in 25 minutes with bioharmonic frequencies that tone the muscles. SonoBello in Beverly Hills helps clients downsize in just one visit with just a local anesthetic, employing a technique called TriSculpt. "TriSculpt is a 100 percent awake, micro-laser liposuction that can target and remove 50-70 percent of fat," claims Dr. John Hsu. "With over 300,000 procedures performed, our technique has evolved to safely treat a wider range of patients than ever before." When combined with a healthy lifestyle, TriSculpt promises long-lasting body contouring results. "Patients are back to work in three days with minimal pain and scarring." Aesthetics isn't just about beauty; it can also improve quality of life, especially for those with lipedema, a chronic condition caused by a genetic mutation that leads to stubborn fat deposits and discomfort. "Lipedema affects roughly 10 percent of women worldwide - around 370 million," says Dr. David Amron, a globally-renowned lipedema specialist. "Many are misd
