Celebrity Aesthetician Vanessa Lee Shares Expert Beauty and Skincare Tips
Vanessa Lee, the cosmetic RN and Eastern Face Reader behind the aesthetic practise The Things We Do, is expanding her footprint with a new location in West Hollywood, California. This latest studio joins her existing network of three Los Angeles locations and an outpost in Hawaii, marking a period of growth for the brand.
Lee has cultivated a reputation as a trusted beauty authority, counting celebrities such as Khloé, Kourtney, and Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, and Kate Hudson among her clientele. Her approach centers on a “less-is-more” philosophy that prioritizes the preservation of one’s natural facial features.
A Shift in Aesthetic Philosophy
As the industry evolves, Lee is advocating for caution regarding aggressive surgical interventions. She specifically warns against the trend of undergoing procedures like an upper blepharoplasty at a younger age.
“Stop messing with your eyes. We have seen celebrities that have access to the best and most expensive surgeons get work done and it really changes the essence of the face,” Lee says. “If you are in your 50s and need to remove excess skin, that is one thing but getting an upper bleph in your 30s and 40s and altering the shape of your eye completely may leave you with regrets in a couple of years.”
Prioritizing Long-Term Skin Health
Rather than chasing dramatic transformations, Lee encourages clients to enhance their existing features through targeted, non-surgical treatments. She highlights the “BioGlow” treatment—a combination of Sculptra under the hairline with PRFM under the eyes and shadows around the mouth—as a popular and effective option.
Beyond the face, demand is increasing for body contouring services, particularly the Onda Pro system, which is currently sought after for skin tightening. Lee emphasizes that these professional services are most effective when paired with a consistent home-care routine.
Looking Ahead
Moving forward, the focus for many clients is likely to remain on subtle, health-conscious enhancements. As the demand for non-surgical body and facial treatments grows, We see expected that practitioners will continue to emphasize the importance of daily habits, such as consistent sunscreen application and nutritional support, to maintain results. Clients may continue to look toward kitchen-based additions, such as jujube and longan tea or omega-3 rich sardines, as complementary components of an overall beauty regimen.
