How to managing flickering highlights?

I've got a computer graphic animation featuring a model with some shiny metallic parts. The problem is that the lighting on these metallic parts will sometimes create overly-bright, firefly-like highlights. I'm trying to subdue these highlights in Premiere Pro, but I can't figure out how to. Any suggestions?
I've researched this and while there are lots of tutorials regarding flicker and whatnot, I can't find anything that addresses my specific issue. Maybe I'm not describing it correctly? Thanks. Premiere Pro v23.1, Windows 11

Without any sample it's hard to tell what can help. Probably some noise reduction tools (not in AdobePP thou). Or maybe some selective masking (by luma level, etc)

I'm going to try addressing the issue upstream in the CGI render settings; I'm not seeing a video tool that will address these transient fireflies. Thanks again everyone for your feedback.

Regarding my frustration in researching this issue, I keep coming across resources that don't appear to apply to my version of Adobe Premiere Pro. For example, here's a howto apparently posted by Adobe in September of last year: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/eliminate-flicker.html Unfortunately for me, I can't find any category labeled "Motion" in my Effects tab. Dang.

It should be the very first heading in the effects panel, and usually its subheadings: Position, Scale...and Anti-Flicker are listed below it.

Try changing to one of the pre-defined workspaces and then, if you don't see the effects control panel, try toggling "effects control" in the Window menu.

Rag and Bone: Thank you for the suggestions. At the risk of being sidetracked, I still do not see any Motion option in the Effects tab, and I am unable to toggle Window > Effect Controls; keyboard shortcut Shift+5 has no effect either (see attached screenshot). I suspect there's something fundamental I do not understand about the Premiere interface.

Ann Bens: Thank you for the Lumetri tip. I'm not sure it will address this issue, but I'll take a look. Thanks again everyone.
