Kim Kardashian Shares Photo of her 'Painful' Stomach Procedure: Is It Worth It?
On Wednesday, Kim Kardashian has taken to Instagram to reveal one of the many secrets to achieving her body goals and it's not so many women would be willing to experience.
The "Keeping up with the Kardashians" star posted a close-up photo of her red abdomen after getting a laser procedure to "tighten" the stomach in her latest Instagram story.
"I did morpheous laser to tighten my stomach @drghavami 's spa at @gpsaesthetics" she wrote on her Instagram story.
"It's Worth It," Kim Kardashian Says
Despite admitting that the procedure was painful, Kim praises it as her "fave laser" and admits it was "worth it".
A morpheus laser treatment uses a device with microneedles to create tiny injuries in the areas treated, prompting the body to manufacture new elastin and collagen. The abdominal procedure costs between 350 to 3,500 dollars, depending on the area which will be treated.
The Beverly Hills-based surgeon, Dr. Ashkan Ghavami, also shares a recent Instagram post featuring Kim getting a "MOXI + BroadBand Light treatment combo", which helps to "reduce pore size, remove sun spots and improve tone & texture for glowing skin".
In Allure's recent cover story, Kim opens up about how she goes to great lengths just to look good, and admits that she cares "more than 90 percent of the people on this planet".
"I do my beauty treatments late at night. After everyone's in bed, I'm doing lasers." Kim admitted.
The Beginning of a Healthier Kim
On the Today show, the 41 year-old reality star opens up about her fitness journey during recent months, her relationship with Pete Davidson, and updates on her new skincare line, SKKN by Kim.
The KKW beauty founder also posted the result of her body composition test in an Instagram story following her Morpheus laser procedure.
The results from BodySpec, a company that uses DEXA scans to measure body fat composition, reveal that her bones are 93 to 97% stronger than the average person, and indicate that her body is in the "athlete category".
Aside from surgical procedures, the reality TV star shares that she has already started new lifestyle adjustments even after achieving her body goal. Following her loss of 21 pounds in June to wear the iconic Marilyn Monroe gown, Kim continues to "eat well" and cut down on excess carbohydrates and sugar.
