Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous celebrities in the world, with millions of people watching her every move. A few weeks ago, Kim K uploaded pictures of her trip to Korea on Instagram. These pictures showed her getting K-beauty treatments done, which piqued the interest of beauty enthusiasts all over the world. When we think of Korea, skincare is one of the top things to come to our minds, as this country is a hub of beauty and innovation. So, it’s not unsurprising that Kim K would treat herself to some amazing cosmetic procedures while in Korea. Stay with us to find out all the luxury beauty treatments we think she got that left her skin looking radiant and youthful as ever.
💖 Why Seoul? Kim Kardashian and the Global Allure of K-Beauty
Seoul is quite literally the heart of the beauty world. It is one of the main beauty destinations in the world. While Korean skincare is already widely regarded as some of the best skincare to have been formulated and is found in all of our beauty cabinets, K-beauty treatments offer some of the most cutting-edge techniques to help people achieve the skin of their dreams. On top of that, the Seoul beauty clinics offer these treatments at attractive price tags as well.
Another point to note is that the Korean philosophy, when it comes to skincare, is based on prevention, while the Western one is focused more on correction. Skincare in Korea is formulated to nourish and hydrate the skin and prevent any pigmentation. It incorporates barrier-repairing ingredients to guarantee great skin in the long term. All these reasons make Seoul a natural choice for Kim Kardashian to get advanced and highly effective skin treatments.
💦 Decoding Kim K’s Beauty Treatments
Stem Cell Therapy
One of the treatments Kim seems to have gotten done to get the famous glass skin look is Stem Cell Therapy, as one of the pictures from her Korea trip shows her getting her blood drawn. The main purpose of stem cell therapy is to bring back one’s youthful appearance. As our bodies age, our healthy tissues begin to be damaged. In fact, when we age, we notice the most changes in our appearance in the form of wrinkles, skin sagging, and fine lines.
However, when we are younger, we have a higher potential to go through natural healing as our skin cells are regenerating at a faster pace. As we get older, this potential decreases, and the new cells do not regenerate as fast as they used to, while cell degeneration accelerates. As a result, the skin’s healing abilities are affected, and we begin to display signs of aging.
🔴 Stem cell therapy is a non-surgical and highly effective way to restore the skin’s firmness and smoothness. This procedure uses human stem cells to turn back time on one’s skin and reduce the signs of aging.
The way this treatment works is that it enhances skin cell regeneration to the point that it overtakes the speed of the degeneration of the skin cells. In this way, it helps in the creation of new skin cells, which helps the skin fight age-related damage. Moreover, the stem cell therapy helps with signs of aging on the hands, cleavage, neck, jowls, etc.
Types of Stem Cells
There are two types of stem cells used in beauty treatments, depending on what needs to be treated and the required results. One type is autologous stem cells, which are drawn from the patient’s body and then processed and injected into the patient’s skin. The second type includes allogeneic stem cells, where healthy stem cells are acquired from a donor and then infused and injected as part of the treatment.
RF Microneedling
There seems to be a high possibility that one of the facial treatments Kim Kardashian also got is the RF microneedling procedure for flawless and healthy skin. This procedure involves the use of tiny needles along with radiofrequency waves to revive and refresh the skin.
This procedure involves using a needle to create tiny wounds in the skin. This, then, triggers the body’s healing response and boosts collagen and elastic production. In addition, the needle also emits radiofrequency energy into the skin as it creates the wounds, so the heat reaches the deep layers of the skin. The extra damage caused by the radiofrequency waves causes the body to respond by producing new collagen and elastin for thicker and tighter skin.
✨ Here’s What Kim’s Trip Means for the World of K-Beauty
Kim Kardashian’s visit to Korea for top-of-the-line beauty treatments serves as brilliant marketing for the Korean beauty industry. It puts Korea front and centre on the global stage as the main destination for beauty and skincare aficionados. This could result in a dramatic boost in foreigners seeking top-notch skincare treatments. Not to mention, by documenting and sharing her trip to Korea to get these procedures, Kim Kardashian normalizes treatments such as stem cell therapy and RF microneedling for the maintenance of skin elasticity and youthfulness.
