    The Korean Skincare Approach to Healthier, Younger-Looking Skin | Dr. Seunghee Fuller

    What makes the Korean approach to skincare so different? Dr. Seunghee Fuller, MD, founder of K-GLOW Aesthetics in Lubbock, Texas, joins the Business & Personal Podcast to explain how Korean skincare principles shaped her unique approach to aesthetic medicine. Dr. Fuller grew up learning skincare rituals from her mother and later combined those lessons with her medical training, experience in surgery, family medicine, cosmetic dermatology, and additional training in Korea. Rather than simply treating individual wrinkles, pigmentation or acne with a quick fix, her approach starts with skin health, repairing the skin barrier and creating a personalized long-term plan. In this conversation, Dr. Fuller discusses: • Why Korean skincare places such an emphasis on prevention • Why healthy skin should come before cosmetic quick fixes • Repairing and maintaining the skin barrier • Acne, acne scarring and pigmentation • Collagen stimulation and skin tightening • Her signature XERF treatment • The value of receiving aesthetic treatments from a physician • Why patients shouldn't have to figure out their skincare plan themselves • A patient transformation that Dr. Fuller describes as life-changing Dr. Fuller also explains that skincare is an ongoing process: after correcting existing damage, patients can transition into a more manageable maintenance phase involving appropriate home skincare and periodic treatments.
