Vanessa Lee

Editor in Residence

Vanessa Lee is recognized as one of the leading voices in modern aesthetic medicine, renowned for championing natural results through her innovative use of biostimulators, regenerative therapies, and the integration of Eastern principles of balance. She is the creator of the term “Facial Balancing,” a concept she introduced in 2017 that has since evolved into a movement redefining how both practitioners and patients approach aesthetics. With a career spanning more than 16 years as an injector, Vanessa has set a new standard for subtlety and longevity in results. Her authority is built on both clinical rigor and a holistic lens: prior to opening The Things We Do (TWD), her background in neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and dermatology give her a unique and skilled hand. She continues to study globally, traveling throughout Europe and Asia, most recently to Korea, to bring best-in-class innovations in skin boosters, thread lifting, and regenerative treatments back to U.S. patients.

As an educator and mentor, Vanessa is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of leaders. She has authored training guides, developed mentorship programs, and designed manager tracks that elevate her team and set industry benchmarks. Her clinics are recognized not just for patient transformation but as incubators for talent and professional excellence. A frequent speaker, panelist, and media contributor, Vanessa is trusted worldwide for her perspective on biostimulators, balance, and natural results.
