Kim Kardashian Slammed By Expert For 'Dangerous' SKIMS Face Wrap 'Not Backed By Science'

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to starting beauty trends. However, her new one-of-a-kind face shapewear has medical experts talking and proving its harmfulness!

A few days ago, the 44-year-old SKIMS owner took the beauty world by storm when she launched a face-sculpting compression. The piece boasts collagen additives that work anti-aging wonders and tighten the jaw overnight. 

Now, health practitioners are showing that "The Kardashian" star’s facial invention has no scientific backing. 

While SKIMS advertised that the face wrap snatches and contours the jawline, cosmetic professionals have now identified that such claims are inaccurate.

 A top Beverly Hills cosmetic doctor debunked the brand’s promises, saying that the wrap will "not reshape your face permanently as claims of permanent jaw sculpting or structural changes are not backed by evidence."

The specialist then advised against resorting to the fabric as a means to deal with TMJ pain. "If you have TMJ pain or grinding, it is best to consult a dentist or TMJ specialist before turning to garment compression,” the doctor told The Sun.

He added, "It is not a replacement for proven interventions like facial exercises, contouring treatments, fillers, surgery, or professional care for TMJ."

According to the expert, the facelift product may do more harm than good, as it could cause several health issues.

Speaking on the benefit of the wrap, the doctor outlined that "Temporary use may offer a calming or stabilizing effect on overworked jaw muscles similar to a light support brace.”

However, the underlying effects of the innovation are not to be overlooked. The expert emphasized that “regular or unsupervised use may result in skin irritation or temporary muscle discomfort or weakness if over-compressed.”

He continued explaining, "Prolonged use might also alter resting jaw posture, especially if the fabric pushes the jaw backward or upward unnaturally." Additionally, he noted that it could trigger "more joint misalignment or clenching."

The scientific analysis comes a week after the “KUWTK” star dropped the Seamless Sculpting invention. On July 29, SKIMS announced on their Instagram the new release with pictures and a caption highlighting its uses. 

The photo showcases the piece of brown colored fabric on the face of a model, which includes a velcro closure at the top of the head and the back of the neck. As detailed in the caption, the cloth is “made with signature sculpting fabric and infused with collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support.” 

Fans wasted no time in slamming the reality TV star while pointing out that the idea behind the product cannot be proved by science. 

One fan lengthily wrote, “Explain collagen yarns and how the collagen transfers to the user's skin and penetrates deep to actually work, please. Stop using buzzwords to make this look [like] an innovation. This isn't.”

Another critic told the businesswoman that “Collagen doesn't penetrate the skin, the molecule is too large. It needs to be ingested to have any real effect.”

A third person added, “Collagen cannot be applied topically and introduced to the body. I am begging y'all to science.”

As fans continued to question the new product, even A-List celebrities, like Anthony Hopkins joined in the conversation. The legendary actor poked fun at the piece as he likened it to a costume he wore in the 1991 film “The Silence Of The Lambs.”

The “Hannibal” star posted a video of himself in the facial cloth on Instagram as he joked, "Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger. Goodbye,” before mimicking Hannibal’s mannerisms.

In the accompanying caption, the 87-year-old penned, "Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner.”

It would appear that the KKW Fragrance founder knows her onions when it comes to cosmetic procedures and that even her mother, Kris Jenner, is following in her footsteps. 

The matriarch is reportedly set on doing the same plastic surgery as the Skyy Partners owner. As The Blast reported, sources revealed that Jenner is gearing up to undergo a breast lift surgery like Kim's.

"What Kim has done, Kris wants it, too. She thinks the world of Kim and follows her every move when it comes to cosmetic changes," the source disclosed.
