Kristin Cavallari’s Go-To Beauty Procedures, Broken Down

Whether you’ve been a diehard Kristin Cavallari fan since her television debut on MTV’s “Laguna Beach” or you’ve only just started following along after becoming interested in her viral relationship status, it’s safe to say people are interested in all aspects of her life — that includes details and insight into her beauty routine.

In a 2021 interview with PS, Cavallari spoke about how she has chosen to opt out of Botox, fillers, and injectables. “At a young age, I was so against plastic surgery and everything that it stood for because I saw my stepmom at the time lose herself in it,” she said. “My brother actually lost himself in it as well, and so I really hated it and felt like it was just a cover for what was really going on.”

At the time, Cavallari shared that she hadn’t written it off completely though. While it looks like she’s still veered away from those particular cosmetic treatments, she has opted to do some injections in the form of stem cells. Ahead, Cavallari’s practitioner, Lisa Goodman, breaks down the treatments Cavallari is relying on to keep her skin looking youthful.

Lisa Goodman, PA, is a physician’s assistant and the founder of GoodSkin Clinics.

Lisa Goodman is the founder of GoodSkin, a medspa with locations in New York and Los Angeles. GoodSkin uses a six-step process, which always starts out with an initial diagnosis. Together, Goodman and Cavallari started out by creating a “Healthy Aging Plan,” which began with an analysis of Cavallari’s genetic qualities, including bone, muscle, skin, fat, and fascia. From there, they created a unique plan that focused on what the GoodSkin team describes as natural looking, long-term results.

“Due to fat and volume loss under Kristin’s eyes, we used stem cells to repair the tissue and revive this area,” Goodman tells PS. “This treatment harnesses stem cell technology to create more collagen, and it feels in your tissues with healthy blood flow.” The stem cells they inject under her eyes come from “ethically donated umbilical cords,” which they get from a company that has a “extensive, intensive filtration process,” according to Goodman.

How long they last and how often you need to get the injections redone varies from person to person. “We recommend at least three to four sessions,” she says. The treatment runs around $5,000 per session, but the downtime is low — patients can expect to experience minimal swelling the day of.

Cavallari was also experiencing laxity of the face, so the GoodSkin team used Ultherapy, a laser treatment often touted as a non-invasive alternative to a facelift. “It uses a micro-infused ultrasound to lift and tighten skin on and around the neck, chin and eyebrows,” Goodman says. The treatment runs $6,500 per session, and the downtime typically involves slight pinkness and swelling the day off.

Cavallari is also being treated with another laser called Alma Veil for her face, neck, and chest, which Goodman says is to help with her redness and pigmentation. “Alma Veil is a dual-wavelength vascular laser that addresses a range of conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, as well as reducing acne scars and open pores.” Typical pricing is $1,200 per session, and Goodman says her team recommends three sessions spaced two to four weeks apart. Post-treatment, patients can expect to have slight skin redness the day of.

For Cavallari specifically, Goodman says they’ll continue with stem cells and at least two more sessions of Alma Veil, and after seeing Cavallari’s initial results, we might need to look into getting our own stem cell injections.
