Reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian has taken to her Instagram account to show off her recent visit abroad for a version of stem cell therapy unavailable in the United States.
Fans have long associated the 44-year-old SKIMS entrepreneur and her siblings with excessive surgery, Ozempic, and Botox, but this procedure appears to have been for an actual health issue.
The Keeping up with the Kardashians alum claims she travelled all the way to Mexico for the operation.
It was not Kim Kardashian’s first stem cell procedure

Commenting on an August 8 photo dump depicting herself posing with her sister Khloe and the professional who presumably performed the Muse stem cell treatment, Dr. Adeel Khan, she wrote:
“Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna.
“His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells™️, and the results were immediate. I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since.”

Based on this experience, she claimed, she returned to the medico’s offices for yet another procedure.
While advertising the doctor’s work, she was sure to add that it may not work for everyone
“Encouraged by this success, I recently returned to Dr. Khan to address chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for years,” Kim–who has vehemently denied ever going under the knife for cosmetic reasons–continued.

“The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again. I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone.
“If you’re struggling with back pain, I can’t recommend this treatment enough – it transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down,” the caption read, showing her in black pajamas and the doctor in maroon scrubs perched on an examination couch.
She was careful to insert a disclaimer, writing:
“Of course, everyone is different, and I’m just sharing what has worked for me lately. Definitely do your own homework and talk to medical professionals.”

Kim elaborated: “Since Muse stem cells aren’t yet accessible in the US, I had to travel to Mexico to be treated by Dr. Khan’s team.”
Stem cell treatment is available in the U.S. but it is heavily regulated
While not entirely banned in America, stem cell research and procedures are regulated to the point that for many, it is impractical.

A legal firm specializing in business rendering medical services, Cohen Healthcare, explains:
“Generally, stem cells products cannot be approved for market use unless the stem cell products are either approved by the FDA (premarket approval or 510 (k) clearance)) or are studied in a clinical investigation that is approved by the FDA.”
“The review process also generally investigates how the stem cell therapy will be manufactured so the “FDA can make sure appropriate steps are being taken to help assure the product’s safety, purity, and strength (potency),” the assessment continues.

“The FDA also requires sufficient data from animal studies to help evaluate any potential risks associated with product use.”
Kim is known to deny going under the knife for other, cosmetic procedures
Kim’s announcement comes on the heels of Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos’s $50 million wedding in Venice.
The entire Kardashian-Jenner brood put in an appearance, dressed to impress (that may have been the goal), sporting curves and slim waists and giving rise to plastic surgery, Botox and Ozempic speculation.

“The Kardashians were sure to put on a show, with Khloe and Kim striking a pose for Kris Jenner and everybody else with a camera,” Bored Panda reported on June 27.
“Kim […] in May this year, denied having plastic surgery, showed off her curves (and a defined waist) in a figure-hugging snake print dress.”
The internet is not impressed with many cynical over her propensity to spend

While the recent update drew a few positive remarks, a fair amount of fan reactions to the post proved cynical, and one wrote:
“Maybe if you wouldn’t wear such tight clothing, like a corset, you wouldn’t have back problems. It’s just not well received coming from someone who can “buy” whatever health care they need. Cry me a river! “

“Wow, the privilege to fly on your personal plane to Mexico. Not everybody can do that,” echoed another.
“But let me know if you want to forgive my student loans. That’s another thing not offered here in the US,” wrote a critic, marveling at Kim’s propensity to splurge.
A faction of the internet thinks that she is boastful
