    Is the “medical tourism” hype real? This week, we’re chatting with Los Angeles-based aesthetic expert and host of “Mirror, Mirror” podcast, Amy Chang. Amy is pulling back the curtain on the 2026 K-beauty boom, from Seoul’s high-tech clinics to the “Botox disaster” that changed her face — and her philosophy on injectables today. Listen in as we dive into the science of exosome serums, the reality of Rejuran (the “salmon sperm facial” treatment everyone is talking about), and why everyone is obsessed with “liquid” microneedling. Plus, Amy shares the internal health shift that finally cleared her brain fog, and restored Carlene’s skin’s glow, too. In this episode, we cover: As published in the Los Angeles Times, Amy’s take on why more than one million travellers headed to Korea last year for Rejuran, silk peptide threads and non-surgical facelifts.The top top 3 K-Beauty-informed treatments, products and habits contributing to Amy’s glass skin of late.The one thing that Amy’s mental clarity and Carlene’s glowing skin have in common.Everything you need to know about the TikTok-viral VT Reedle Shot: the “spicule” technology driving the Korean glass skin trend.A cautionary tale: Why the self-proclaimed “treatment guinea pig” blames neuromodulators for causing her “collapsed” lower face, and how she approaches injectables now. Psssst!
