Kim Kardashian West has never been shy about her skincare routine. From vampire facials to lasers, the star has tried it all, and she visits her plastic surgeon, Dr. Simon Ourian, frequently. And now, the new mother-of-three is opening up about the non surgical treatment she swears by — not just on her face, but on her body as well.
“For all-over skin radiance, especially on my face, Dr. Ourian uses his Coolaser treatment,” she says on her website. The treatment, which is said to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin pigmentation, scarring and stretch marks, can cost an average of $4,000. “It honestly does it all,” she adds.
But Kardashian isn’t just focused on the skin on her face. After her first pregnancy with daughter North West, the star says she was bothered by stretch marks from breastfeeding — so she targeted the area with laser as well.
“After breastfeeding North, I wasn’t happy with the stretch marks on my boobs, so I had the area Coolbeam lasered by Dr. Ourian. It made SUCH a difference,” she shares. “The Coolbeam lasers are the best for removing scars, stretch marks and skin imperfections”
And for Kardashian, who has been baring her abs on a regular basis, daily workouts aren’t the only secret to her tight abs.
“I love ultrasound radio frequency, for skin tightening,” Kim explains of the treatment. “This treatment uses ultrasound energy to increase collagen production, and to lift and tighten the skin. I’ve done these treatments on my neck, hands and stomach, but it can also be done on other areas of the body.”

One of her biggest post-baby problem areas, she says, was her belly button. “Anyone who has had kids understands what pregnancy will do to your belly button—getting an ultrasound treatment on my stomach just totally tightened the area up.”
Medical Grade Skin Tightening is fast becoming a staple, as the results can be immediate but also more importantly they are are progressive and continue to improve with time. All of our treatment plans are customised we use a range of modalities depending on the patient and their skin laxity rating.
Our technology and range of treatments allow collagen renewal in the mid to lower face by penetrating down to the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layers, this then undergoes a separate phases of blood coagulation, wound contractions, and tighter shelving of new collagen to resolve the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. The only other way to treat the SMAS area is through surgery.
