Kim Kardashian reveals ‘painful’ secret to her perfect stomach

Kim Kardashian is starting to let her beauty secrets slip.

After keeping the mystery alive for years about how she achieves her perfect figure — merely alluding to the work of Dr. Miami — she’s become more transparent about her looks, which are anything but effortless.

On Wednesday, the SKIMS and SKKN founder shared a photo on her Instagram story of her stomach after treatment, calling the Morpheus laser a “game changer.”

Kim Kardashian shared her latest beauty secret in an Instagram story.

“I did Morpheous laser to tighten my stomach,” she wrote in the caption. “I think this is my fave laser but it’s painful lol but worth it!”

She credited board-certified, Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr. Ashkan Ghavami in the post along with a snap of her abdomen.

According to his website, Morpheus 8 is described as a microneedling treatment which punctures the skin with tiny needles that “deliver pulses of radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin.”

Supposedly, this creates a “thermal response” that increases collagen and elastin production, triggers fat loss and produces skin-tightening effects.

While cost depends on the provider, RealSelf estimates the price to range anywhere from $350 to a whopping $3,500, while the average is nearly $2,000.

Kardashian, 41, is known for her love of laser treatments, admitting to Allure that she can only do them at home “after everyone’s in bed.”

“I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good,” the mogul and reality star admitted. “I probably care more than 90% of the people on this planet.”

At the time, Kardashian only admitted to having a smidge of Botox between her brows, keeping tight-lipped on the details of any other cosmetic procedures.

The dished details come after the reality TV family has been caught with outrageous photoshop fails over the years, and Kardashian fell under fire for her dramatic Met Gala weight loss.

On Wednesday, the star also posted her experience with BodySpec, a company designed to calculate your body composition. The technician said her measurements were in the “athlete category,” revealing that her bones are 93 to 97% stronger than the average person.

“A year ago my body fat percentage was 25 percent, and now it is 18.8 percent,” Kardashian said online.
