Kylie Jenner has never been shy about a good selfie, but her latest batch came with a twist: white numbing cream smeared across her face and a derm\u2019s chair instead of a red carpet.<\/p>\n
Jenner posted the whole thing in real time on her Instagram Stories. First came a screenshot from a FaceTime call with sister Kendall, taken mid-appointment with numbing cream coating her skin, playfully captioning it to poke fun at how \u201ccrazy\u201d she looked next to her sister\u2019s makeup-free \u201ccutie\u201d face. A few hours later, she circled back with a fresher, post-treatment selfie, telling followers her skin was \u201calready healing so nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you\u2019re not familiar, microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which kickstarts the body\u2019s own production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and smooth. It\u2019s become one of the go-to treatments for softening fine lines, scarring, and uneven texture. The appeal largely comes down to the quick turnaround: just some redness for a few hours, and you\u2019re back to your routine.<\/p>\n
Jenner has always kept things fairly open when it comes to her cosmetic routine. She\u2019s previously discussed getting lip filler, and in 2019 told Paper Magazine<\/em> that people assume she’s \u201cfully went under the knife,\u201d which she\u2019s denied, crediting much of her look to fillers and good hair and makeup instead.<\/p>\n This latest peek fits into a bigger moment happening across the Kardashian-Jenner family. Kim Kardashian shared makeup-free photos from a round of cosmetic treatments in South Korea, and Kris Jenner has spoken openly about her own procedures, too. It\u2019s part of the family\u2019s outsized influence on how the public views cosmetic treatments altogether.<\/p>\n For now, Jenner\u2019s followers will have to settle for the glow-up in her Stories. Microneedling fans tend to agree it\u2019s worth the appointment, and her skin post-treatment makes a pretty good case for that too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
