In this episode of Mixed Makeup, the discussion revolves around the beauty standards in Korea, particularly focusing on the concept of the golden ratio. Cindy Kim, an aesthetic nurse practitioner at Bliss Point medical spa in Los Angeles, sheds light on the popular Korean beauty treatments that have taken the world by storm. The Korean culture places a high emphasis on physical attractiveness, leading to a booming demand for cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery. This obsession with beauty is deeply ingrained in Korean society, with treatments like upper blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty being common graduation gifts.
Cindy Kim's expertise in Korean beauty trends stems from her diverse background, including training to be a K-pop star and working in the beauty industry for over a decade. She emphasizes the importance of skin as the foundation of beauty and offers K beauty-inspired treatments at her practice. While Korea is known for its extensive and sometimes excessive cosmetic treatments, Cindy highlights the need for a more personalized and quality-focused approach in the US. She warns against stacking too many treatments at once, advocating for a more strategic and long-term skincare regimen.
The accessibility and affordability of skincare treatments in Korea stand out compared to the US, where such procedures can be pricier. Cindy mentions the popularity of non-invasive lasers in Korea, with a focus on routine maintenance to achieve healthy and glowing skin. Despite the allure of Korean cosmetic treatments, she advises potential tourists to prioritize finding a skilled provider rather than chasing specific procedures. The episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Korean beauty standards and the evolving trends in cosmetic treatments, blending cultural insights with practical skincare advice.
