Vanessa Lee, RN, founder of The Things We Do, recently traveled with Kim and Khloé Kardashian, La La Anthony and Stephanie Suganami on a girls trip to South Korea, where the women tried several aesthetic and K-beauty skin care treatments.

“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,” Lee told ET.

After experiencing these technologies, Lee expressed interest in stacking PicoSure with Vivace and to start embossing PRFM into the skin.

"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,” Lee told ET. “It was so much fun and was a girls’ trip for the books.”

Lee, a 2023 Distinguished Woman in Medical Aesthetics, has been developing her skin care expertise since she began practicing aesthetics in 2009. Learn more about her experience as a leading woman in aesthetics in this profile.
