Girls trip goals! Vanessa Lee of The Things We Do enjoyed a Korean getaway — courtesy of Kim Air — with Kim and Khloé Kardashian, La La Anthony, and more, and now, the skincare expert is spilling the beauty intel she picked up overseas.
“Korea is known for their innovation in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures and prioritizes efficiency and quality. … I always like to go straight to the source of where professionals are mastering their techniques,” she tells ET.
In 2018, the medical aesthetic provider received thread training from Korean providers ahead of opening her own beauty studios, and earlier this year, she visited the country to try out the PicoSure Pro laser and Jeuveau neurotoxin before bringing them to her locations.
As for this time around? Lee got to test out fresh treatments, plus share top advice with her fellow travelers.
“I had the opportunity to guide the girls with my expertise. … This trip was about getting a little more invasive for me. … Korea’s hyperpigmentation technologies, body tightening devices, and biostimulator skin boosters have been on my to-do list.”
Some of her favorites: “I loved the Onda body tightening treatment using microwave technology and want to introduce stacking PicoSure with Vivace for maximum skin rejuvenation, as well and to start embossing PRFM into the skin for more superficial support.”
If you are just diving into the K-Beauty trends, the cosmetic RN recommends getting started with staples from Korean pharmacies.
“I love Noscarna for scar reduction, Rejuall PDRN for barrier building and strength, and zinc and pineapple enzyme jellies and powders for internal healing,” she shares.
And even if you’re already a pro, there’s always newness to explore.
“I experienced a variety of more advanced procedures firsthand and studied their potential for our patients and Kim learned about beauty and business for SKIMS. It was so much fun and was a girls’ trip for the books,” Lee says.
