When popular Los Angeles-based medspa The Things We Do (thethingswedo.co) started seeing numerous fly-in patients from Hawai‘i at their California locations, founder Vanessa Lee realized it was time to open a Honolulu branch. Its fifth location opened earlier this year in the SALT complex in Kaka‘ako, a hidden gem offering state-of-the-art treatments in a chic, relaxing setting.

Lee is a distinguished figure in the medical aesthetic field with a commitment to seeing more inclusivity in the beauty industry. Her celebrity-loved skincare line is formulated for all skin tones. At The Things We Do, Lee uses a holistic, Eastmeets-West approach to skincare. “Natural intention beauty guidance is what we specialize in,” explains Lee. “It means that every part of the consultation process and every treatment offered that presents as appropriate for our patients and their concerns has the intention of keeping you looking like the natural you. We are known for being true advocates for patients in aesthetic medicine.” The medspa offers a wide range of biostimulators and skin-strengthening treatments, from Botox and fillers to microneedling and chemical peels. The brand’s most popular Facial Balancing service combines Sculptra, threads, and fillers depending on one’s facial shape and aging concerns to create a personalized anti-aging treatment plan.
