Vanessa Lee on What Korea Gets Right and Wrong About Aesthetics
About this episode
Vanessa Lee discusses Korean aesthetics, facial balancing, and the future of regenerative aesthetics with Dr. Sheila Farhang.
Today I'm joined by Vanessa Lee of The Things We Do–this conversation is one I've wanted to have since we first DMed each other back in 2019! Vanessa coined the term "facial balancing" in 2017 and today we get into what that actually means and how to vet a med spa or injector. We also dig into "perception drift," what AI beauty plans are missing, and how to think about augmentation versus honoring your own heritage and features. Then we go all in on Korean aesthetics: what's actually worth flying to Seoul for, what to skip (salmon sperm PDRN, we're looking at you), and the wellness pharmacy trend taking over. We close out talking regenerative aesthetics, her BioGlow protocol combining Sculptra and PRFM, and why the slow biostimulator crawl is quietly the future of this industry. Want more from Vanessa?
