Kim Kardashian visits plastic surgeon Dr. Ashkan Ghavami for skin tightening treatments

Kim Kardashian paid a visit to Beverly Hills celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Ashkan Ghavami for skin tightening treatments.

The 41-year-old reality TV star shared videos to her Instagram Story on Thursday in which she was seen standing next to Dr. Ghavami as they discussed the Potenza radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatments that she would be receiving.  

‘Alright, I’m in Dr Ghavami’s office today,’ Kim told her 315 million followers as she captured the video on her iPhone from the doctor’s clinic.

Dr. Ghavami said, ‘It’s all about skin tightening.’ 

He looked up at the camera as he joked, ‘She’s actually doing skin tightening on me.’ 

‘Yeah, right,’ the television personality said with a laugh. 

‘I’m obsessed so we are going to do what? Potenza?’ she asked.

Dr Ghavami replied, ‘We’ll do Potenza, we’re going to do some RF and we are going to do some secret RF that no one knows about yet.’

The video concluded as the celebrity plastic surgeon pointed his finger at the camera and Kim flashed a peace sign. 

In the clips, The Kardashians star bared a sliver of her taut midriff in a form-fitting cropped gray tank top that she paired with black Adidas sweatpants.

Kim completed her casual ensemble with black sandals. The beauty pulled her platinum locks back into a bun with several loose strands framing her face. 

She wore a glamorous palette of makeup that included bold brows, shimmery gold eyeshadow and a nude lipstick.   

Potenza Radio Frequency Microneedling is said to aid in ‘tightening and improving the appearance of blemishes on the skin, through regeneration of elastin and collagen production,’ according to Cynosure.

Ultra fine needles and radio frequency energy is used to ‘puncture the top layer of the skin’. This ‘triggers the body’s natural healing process’ and ‘stimulates new collagen and elastin production’.   

Last August, the SKIMS founder revealed that she was undergoing Potenza treatments on her face to treat ‘sun spots’.

In a video filmed inside Dr. Ghavami’s office, the mother of four said she’s ‘excited’ to show off the results of the treatment which can cost on average $2,300 USD (£1,670). 

With the plastic surgeon by her side, who has been visited by stars including Iggy Azalea and Amber Rose, Kim revealed why she sought his services.

Concerns: ‘I’m so excited because I do have sun spots and dark spots, and it really takes it all away. So I’m really excited to continue my treatment. I know I have makeup on now, but I will take it off and we will get a treatment started,’ Kim told her legion of followers

 Kim has always been honest with fans, particularly when it comes to setting the record straight on claims she’s gone under the knife.   

In 2019, the reality star spoke candidly about the appearance of her nose while getting her makeup done by Mario Dedivanovic at The Master Class in Los Angeles.

‘I never had my nose done,’ she said. ‘Everyone thought I did, and I said, “Wait until I have kids because your real features come out”.’  

Mario explained that Kim has a ‘small bump on her nose,’ but he uses a contouring technique to hide it.

While she strongly denies ever having a nose job, she agrees with some of her fans that her face does look different.

‘Pictures, I swear, I look at them and would be like, “Wow, the bump looks so much bigger in some pictures than in others”,’ she admitted.   

The public has watched Kim’s every move for more than a decade, so it’s no surprise she has faced ongoing speculation about the changes in her appearance. 

Kim has long denied getting butt implants to give her famous backside a boost. She was so adamant about shutting down the rumours that she had an X-ray done in season six of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to prove her critics wrong.

However, her curvaceous backside has inspired a legion of fans to get Brazilian butt lifts, a procedure in which fat from other areas of the body is transferred to the derriere to make it fuller.

She is widely considered the driving force behind the upswing in the procedure in recent years, but she has never admitted to having one. 

Kim has also spent more than a decade denying claims that she has had a breast augmentation, a procedure that her sister Kourtney has openly spoken about having when she was just 21.

Kim is known for using gaffer tape to give her chest a boost when she can’t wear a bra, but she has firmly denied ever having a boob job.

‘I have not ever had plastic surgery. I hope after seeing this you guys will never ask me a plastic surgery question again!’ she wrote on her now-defunct blog in 2008. 

The businesswoman went on to point out that she has had large breasts from a young age, explaining: ‘I have had a size C since I was 11 years old.’

However, she noted that she wasn’t entirely opposed to giving her breasts a boost after she had children.

‘One day I will definitely get a lift, but I am waiting until after I have kids,’ she said. ‘Until then, I rely on a great supportive bra!’
