Barry Keoghan Finds Confidence in Skin-Tightening Routine

In a video posted by celebrity facialist Nilam Holmes on October 23, Keoghan is seen undergoing an XERF treatment, a radiofrequency-based procedure designed to firm skin without surgery. The actor, who has worked with Holmes for several years, noted that the sessions provide a necessary sense of care for both his external appearance and his internal well-being. Holmes, who has treated the actor through various high-profile film campaigns, confirmed that this was his second session, adding that Keoghan volunteered to be filmed during the appointment to help her meet a promotional deadline.

This shift toward self-care arrives after a difficult year for the actor. In a March interview on SiriusXM, Keoghan spoke candidly about how persistent online vitriol had begun to affect his mental health and his professional life, even making him hesitant to appear on screen. He admitted at the time that the hostility was severe enough to make him want to avoid public outings entirely. While the actor has not explicitly linked his decision to undergo the roughly $3,300-per-session treatment to the abuse he received, the move marks a proactive step toward navigating his public image on his own terms. As he prepares to portray Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles project and return to the DC franchise as the Joker, Keoghan continues to balance the demands of his high-profile career with the need to protect his peace of mind.
