489: Korean Beauty Secrets: Skin Boosters, Lasers & the Truth About PDRN with Dr. David Kim

About this episode

Dr. David Kim is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in cosmetic dermatology, with expertise in both American and Korean approaches to skincare and aesthetic treatments. In this episode, we’re decoding the world of Korean beauty and why Korea is so far ahead when it comes to aesthetic innovation. We break down the treatments everyone is talking about, from Rejuran and skin boosters to skin Botox, Ultherapy, XERF, and Titanium lasers, including what actually works, what’s overhyped, and what’s worth the investment. We also get into the Korean approach to achieving plumper, juicier, healthier-looking skin rather than simply chasing wrinkles, how to stimulate collagen, the best treatments for tightening and pigmentation, and what to know before trying the latest viral procedures. Plus, Dr. Kim shares his favorite skincare products and ingredients, underrated in-office treatments, how to choose the right provider, and the treatments he’d never do himself.
