If you don’t know about the Kardashian family, we wouldn’t be surprised if you told us you’ve been living on a remote island. They’re arguably one of the most famous families in the world; millions of people follow their every move thanks to their popular reality television series and massive social media presence.
The Kardashians have completely changed how we see beauty — for better or worse. The family has come under a lot of controversy over changes to their appearance since they entered the limelight. The public has generally agreed that the Kardashian sisters promote unrealistic beauty standards.
While the family denies promoting unrealistic beauty standards, they also haven’t opened up about many of the cosmetic procedures they’ve likely received to achieve their current looks.
There are two treatments that Kim Kardashian (the most famous Kardashian of the bunch) has admitted to getting: Botox and laser hair removal.
That’s right. We may not have access to everything Kim Kardashian does to achieve her look, but we certainly have access to laser hair removal. Here’s everything you should know about the Kardashians’ love for laser hair removal:
Why Did Kim Kardashian Begin Laser Hair Removal?
Kim Kardashian began laser hair removal treatments in high school — although she didn’t fully commit to laser treatments until later. Like most people, she decided to laser her hair to gain confidence. Can you imagine a world where Kim Kardashian isn’t one of the most confident women? Laser hair removal helped her get there.
She spoke to People Magazine about why she began laser hair removal: “I have the hairiest forehead you could ever imagine, and I would always break out and get all cracky on my forehead just from all the hair that I had. So in high school, I would wax it off because there was just so much hair, and then I would laser it off a little bit. If you Google 2008 or 2007, I had the craziest, hairiest hairline, so I did laser it.”
She continued, "I lasered my baby hairs off years ago, because my forehead had all these little baby hairs, and I would always break out because of them.” Laser hair removal treatments work; her baby hairs are completely gone.
Does that mean her glowing skin could have something to do with laser hair removal? You may not be able to afford her $2,200 skincare routine, but you can certainly afford one year of unlimited laser hair removal on one small area for $99.
Which Body Parts Do the Kardashians Laser?
The most common body parts to laser are the face, underarms, back, legs, bikini area, and Brazillian. Kim Kardashian isn’t a stranger to laser hair removal in any of those areas!
She says, “I am Armenian, so of course, I am obsessed with laser hair removal. I lasered my forehead; I also lasered my neck because I had such a hairy neck. Every photographer would photoshop them out anyway, and I thought I looked better without the baby hairs.”
She continued, “Arms, bikini, legs, underarms...my entire body is hairless.” That’s right — her entire body is hairless thanks to effective laser hair removal treatments!
While Kim Kardashian has been the most open about using laser hair removal, Khloe and Kylie also “keep up” with laser hair removal. See what we did there?
Khloe actually got her first laser hair removal treatment on an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians. You can watch a clip here. In fact, they’ve filmed several segments in laser spas (because laser spas are the place to be).
Khloe told Glamour, “I laser my bikini line! No nasty ingrown hairs. I even laser my legs. It's so much easier than having to shave every single day. I go to my girl at a place called Sev Laser. Kylie goes here, too, and we love it!”
You could fly to Calabasas to pay a premium price for laser hair removal at the Kardashian’s favorite laser spa or opt for an amazing laser deal near you.
Which Laser Hair Removal Systems Do the Kardashians Use?
One of the ways Kim Kardashian combats the accusation that the family sets unrealistic beauty standards is by letting everyone know she works for her looks every day. She says, “I do my beauty treatments late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing lasers.”
It’s assumed that Kim Kardashian mostly does at-home laser treatments nowadays; this could be the main reason she has to laser so frequently. You won’t need to get lasered as often if you visit a laser spa — the lasers used in our facilities are much more effective than at-home treatments.
Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner visit a laser spa to receive Candela GentleMax Pro treatments. Here at Infinity Laser Spa, we use the Soprano by ALMA lasers and V-FROST by Vertex Lasers.
Without getting too much into the science, our laser machines are comparable to the devices used at the Kardashian sisters' favorite laser spa. There is no difference in clinical outcome between these different laser machines. They are all leading laser machines that provide effective results!
Laser Your Way To Amazing Skin With Infinity Laser Spa
Here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a celebrity to have amazing, smooth skin!
Kim loves laser hair removal because it keeps her skin clear, smooth, and photo-ready. Khloe loves laser hair removal because it prevents ingrown hairs. You might love laser hair removal for every single one of those reasons — plus some more. You won’t know until you try it.

You’ll walk out of our NYC laser spa feeling more confident than ever! Although, there won’t be paparazzi waiting for you… yet.
It’s no secret that SEV is one of the go-to laser hair removal places for celebrities from the East Coast to the West Coast. In 2010, Sevana Petrosian first opened her salon in Glendale, an LA suburb. Her approach, which was based on providing a caring and personalized service, attracted clients all the way from Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Soon enough, her clientele grew to include many notable names, and word of mouth took care of the rest.
Some of SEV’s first celebrity clients were the Kardashian-Jenners. Since then, Sevana and her team have been humbled by what clients have had to say about SEV. If you’ve ever wondered to yourself which laser hair removal places celebrities use, or why on earth SEV gets all of those blue-check social media shoutouts, this post will offer a bit of behind-the-scenes insight. That said, you’re also more than welcome to visit your nearest SEV Laser location where you can find out for yourself.
SEV’s appeal comes, in large part, from the personal approach cultivated by Sevana. From the earliest days, when SEV was a one-woman show led by Sevana, she always understood the deep level of trust every client placed in her. She made them feel comfortable by treating them like family.
“SEV is a game-changer! Everyone on the team is great,” Khloé Kardashian said in an Instagram story. “They have great bedside manners, especially when you’re doing private, sensitive things. I love the environment, the atmosphere, everything.”
Providing compassionate care with impeccable bedside manner is at the heart of SEV’s values, and Sevana is always touched when clients notice and appreciate it. Today, when SEV’s team includes hundreds of dedicated registered nurses and laser technicians, that same personal, caring approach is still entrenched.
It’s about more than just the personalized experience. Many of SEV’s clients are in the public eye, so they only invest their time in beauty treatments that really work. Every service offered at SEV can help celebrities get ready for the red carpet.
SEV prides itself on offering result-driven, effective treatments. That said, it’s still humbling to have so many famous people appreciate their outcomes. On Instagram, Actress Krista Allen called her laser hair removal experience at SEV life-changing.
Model Meredith Mickelson also expressed her satisfaction with the results. “Thank you SEV. You guys are the best,” she said in a story. “It’s crazy how well laser hair removal works. I go every 6 months to keep the consistency but the results have lasted so long.”
And then, there’s the memorable instance when Chrissy Teigen famously credited SEV with getting her perfectly smooth for the 2016 American Music Awards, where a small wardrobe malfunction showed just how well laser hair removal at SEV had worked for her.
Beyond the red carpet, celebrities also visit SEV to prepare for important life events. Most recently, Sofia Richie came in for her pre-wedding beauty touch-up.
In addition to laser hair removal, SEV helps clients get ready for upscale events with other next-generation medspa treatments, like gentle but skin-firming Forma and complete skin remodeling treatment Morpheus8.
All SEV locations use powerful, cutting-edge equipment for a permanent reduction in hair growth. Since client experience is always a priority, the machines are equipped with a cooling feature that minimizes discomfort.
The technology at SEV includes both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers, to target hair with different wavelengths. That way, even those with dark skin types can benefit from the procedure.
SKN by LH founder Lori Harvey has expressed that treatments at SEV keep her skin baby smooth, while British editor Vas J. Morgan expressed that he saw excellent effects after just one appointment.
In addition to Lori Harvey, many other celebrated beauty industry professionals have expressed trust in the technology used at SEV, including hairstylist and OUAI founder Jen Atkin, beauty influencer James Charles, and makeup artist Erika Lapearl.
Every SEV location is designed to be a place of luxury to ensure a comprehensively pleasant experience from start to finish.
Each salon’s unique interior is based on Sevana’s personal aesthetic, which has resonated with many others. The boutique feel has been described as “The happiest place on earth,” by Jen Atkins, “Literally heaven,” by Rita Ora, and “So sexy,” by Rumer Willis.
The vibe is largely minimalistic and warm, but with a few signature touches like opulent chandeliers, florals, and SEV’s slogan, “By The Grace of God,” printed on at least one wall in every salon.
While no two SEV locations are identical, the important details are the same no matter which salon you visit. After visiting SEV in SoHo, NYC, Aoki Lee Simmons commented that “the SEV Laser quality and vibe is so perfectly consistent no matter what city I’m in!”
Everyone needs to feel pampered and catered to once in a while. The experience at SEV is singularly luxurious, but in a way that’s comforting rather than ostentatious.
That said, our customers are often pleasantly surprised by how accessible SEV’s prices are, to the extent that every month, hundreds of people ask Google, “Why is SEV Laser so cheap?”
The answer is simple. SEV has made it its mission to make laser hair removal and other elite medspa services more accessible to everyone. This decision was based on Sevana’s belief that everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful in their skin.
With that in mind, there’s nothing stopping you from giving your nearest SEV location a visit. Are you ready to have your very own celebrity experience ?
