Korea's Biggest Beauty Trends with Vanessa Lee: Skin Tightening, Plasma Exchange, & More!
GlowLab with Susan YaraShow Notes
Vanessa Lee is back! You loved her last episode so much that I had to bring her on again — and the timing was perfect, because she just got home from Seoul ready to share all the latest beauty trends and treatments.
This time we're getting into everything she saw at Korea's top clinics: why doctors there are moving away from stacking 15 treatments in one day, the pharmacy culture that's about to blow up on your FYP, and the luxury hospital where she got a full-body health screening. We also talk about plasma exchange (it's like an oil change for your blood), the skin botox and Rejuran combo she did around her eyes, how Japan's approach to beauty differs from Korea's, and her K-drama photoshoot experience.

Celebrity plastic surgery is looking better than ever, but everyone is still so secretive about what they’re getting done. So I brought in Dr. Lara Devgan, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City who works on some of the most recognizable faces out there. She shares the procedures behind those subtle results, including the tiny neck lift, finesse eyelid surgery, and why less filler is the new trend. We also get into facelift recovery, how long results really last, and every option for neck aging, from neck Botox and Kybella to a full neck lift.
It's no secret I love to shop, and fall is when that really kicks in. So I wanted to share some of my favorite beauty, fashion, and lifestyle from September! That includes a burgundy eyeliner, a tinted sunscreen I've repurchased more than once, Lumify eye drops, and a new Loewe perfume that pairs perfectly with PLAYA Made in Miami. I'm also sharing the treatments I'm booking this fall, the $60 jeans I found in the Uniqlo men's section, why I'm 50/50 on Eight Sleep, and the little digital camera I can't put down.
What supplements do women actually need, and which ones are mostly marketing? I sat down with pharmacist and functional health expert Dr. Ariana Medizade to find out. We talk about why gut health and fiber matter for hormones, plus her core supplements for women. She also shares her take on NAD, creatine, seed oils, and the shift from biohacking to bio harmony. She also shares her hormone health story and the tea brand she launched the day we recorded.
Nam Vo has been one of my favorite celebrity makeup artists for years, so I had to know how she keeps her skin glowing. We get into the treatments she loves – like radio frequency, microneedling, and LED – how she vets a doctor before booking anything, and what a Korean glow-up trip really looks like. She walks me through her real skincare routine, how she preps a client's skin, and she also demos the blush technique behind the Dewy Dumpling look. I had so much fun with Nam recording this episode and I hope you love it!
It's my favorite time of the month — monthly favorites. These are the things I actually bought and used in August, across beauty, jewelry, fashion, home, and my kitchen. As always, a mix of splurges, everyday staples, and a couple of really good dupes.
