A growing number of South Korean celebrities are openly discussing their cosmetic procedures, signalling a cultural shift in how stars engage with the public about beauty standards.
โItโs only been a week, but Iโm grateful for the last-minute schedule I was able to attend,โ Shinji wrote, pre-emptively addressing potential criticism. โOnce the swelling goes down, itโll look similar to before. So, no saying โYou looked better before.โ Wait until it heals.โ
Similarly, actress Han Ye-seul revealed she receives Ultherapy yearly, a non-invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production. โIt depends on your skin type, but I start the year fresh with Ultherapy,โ she said.
โItโs painful, so I get it under sedation. Since Iโm already under, I also get Dermatoxin and Rejuran treatments at the same time. If my skin feels off midyear, I sometimes get Thermage as well.โ
