My Expert Skincare Philosophy & Professional Advice

On-screen, a slimmer, V-shaped face is often desired. I explain the five types of non-invasive anti-aging technologies celebrities use for this, including ultrasound (Ultherapy), radio frequency (Thermage), lasers, microneedling RF, and electromagnetic muscle stimulation.

To effectively treat aging, a layered approach is key. In this discussion, I break down the non-invasive technologies I use: Ultrasound (HIFU) for lifting, RadioFrequency (Thermage) for tightening, Microneedling for rejuvenation, and Lasers for surface texture and pigmentation.

Your skincare routine should be tailor-made for your skin type and lifestyle. I advise against blindly following trends. For example, combining strong actives like glycolic acid and tretinoin on the same day can cause irritation. It's better to give your skin breaks and focus on hydration.

Many people are getting obsessed with active ingredients, but the foundation of Korean skincare is hydration. I believe in using actives sensibly, with "skin fasting" days in between where you only use a simple hydrating essence or cream. Let your skin breathe and repair.

The right doctor makes all the difference. I emphasize that skincare is not one-size-fits-all and warn against blindly following celebrity trends. My job is to provide expert, personalized care for the skin you're in, using high-quality aesthetic treatments safely and effectively.

Fact versus fiction is a huge issue in the aesthetics world. I've had celebrities come to me upset about false rumors regarding their treatments. It's important to get information from qualified professionals, not from social media speculation, to understand what is truly possible.

This feature in The Hollywood Reporter delves into celebrity-endorsed beauty treatments. It highlights the public's desire to know what their favorite stars are doing, but also the misinformation that can spread. My goal is to provide factual, expert insights.

In this article, I talk about "tweak-ments," the subtle injectable treatments that celebrities often request. They need to be able to emote and connect with their audience, so the goal is always enhancement, not alteration.

As an aesthetic physician and celebrity skin expert featured in The Hollywood Reporter, my role is to cut through the noise and provide clear, trustworthy guidance on aesthetic treatments.
