Yes, it’s true. Kim Kardashian has gorgeous skin. Being that she is 31 and has a seemingly limitless amount of resources to keep her face a flawless canvas, no one should be surprised by this fact. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want to know exactly which products and procedures she is doing to get her skin looking its absolute best, as many a starlet has the means she does, but not quite the complexion.
Well, the cat’s out of the bag. She recently told Oprah that she frequently gets Fraxel laser treatments to keep her skin glowing and line-free. She’s not the first to admit love for this fractional laser that resurfaces the skin. Jennifer Aniston and Ellen Barker also openly fawn over the treatment, and for good reason. It provides dramatic improvement in the skin with very little downtime (aka stars don’t have to hide behind closed doors for up to two weeks like they used to with non-fractionating lasers).
The Fraxel re:pair CO2 laser is a favorite among dermatologist and plastic surgeons alike. “What I love about Fraxel is that it can improve multiple skin issues at once,” says Melbourne, FL, dermatologist Anita Saluja, MD. “It treats spotting, wrinkling, mild jowling and gives us a great foundation to work with so that when we do injectable treatments, the results look even better.”
Patients can see the difference they want after a single treatment and “it’s unique in that on a microscopic level, it is basically ablative, so it tends to offer the best of both worlds, a shorter down time with same results as an ablative laser,” says Bay Harbor Island, FL, plastic surgeon Ary Krau, MD.
It costs anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 for continued session and patients are usually advised to do multiple treatments to get Kim Kardashian-worthy results.
