Go Beyond Skin Deep
In East Asian medicine, there's a saying: "What happens on the inside will have signs and symptoms on the outside." We truly believe that your skin reflects your overall health. Our approach addresses both visible surface issues and internal conditions, providing a holistic skincare journey. Your skin is your primary way of engaging with the world and deserves proper care.
Treatments Options
-
We utilize East Asian Medicine to diagnose patients and provide appropriate treatment. Tiny needles are placed on the face to target deep facial muscles, while additional needles are applied superficially to focus on the skin. Body points are also used to treat the entire system. Together, these methods promote blood flow to the face and help build a stronger, healthier constitution.
Cosmetic Acupuncture is done 2 times a week for 4-6 weeks. Oftentimes, in between micro-needling treatments.
-
Micro-needling involves inserting fine, short needles into the skin to rejuvenate it. The idea is to create tiny wounds that stimulate collagen production and the growth of new skin cells. Depending on how deeply the needles penetrate the skin, this technique can range from simply improving the absorption of skin care products to clinically treating scars and wrinkles.
Micro-needling treatments are done in 4-6 sessions, with monthly treatments.
-
Nano-needling and micro-needling both use an oscillating motion, but nano-needling involves 81 silicone tips that puncture the top layer of the skin to create nano-channels. These tiny cones separate the cells in the outer layer of the skin, allowing active products to penetrate the skin. Nano-needling affects the outermost layer of the skin, treating within the upper 0.15 mm. The benefits of this serum infusion treatment include reducing pigmentation, increasing cell turnover, rejuvenating the skin, and providing an immediate glow. This treatment can be done weekly to exfoliate the skin.
-
Cupping involves using a simple suction method in a circular motion to improve blood circulation, which can help release muscle tension, support cell repair, and assist in other forms of regeneration. The vacuum-like suction separates various tissue layers, leading to microtrauma and tearing. This process prompts an inflammatory response, causing an inflow of white blood cells, platelets, and other healing agents to the area.
-
Guasha is an ancient East Asian skincare treatment that uses a flat stainless-steel tool that glides over the skin in a specific manner. This technique increases blood flow, stimulates the lymphatic system, and helps disperse excess fluid in the body or face, reducing puffiness and inflammation and promoting a tighter, more sculpted appearance.
-
LED light therapy generally improves the health and appearance of the skin. Using multiple colored light treatments (red, blue, purple, yellow, or more) stimulates cell regeneration, including collagen and elastin. Light therapy can also increase blood flow and reduce inflammation.
-
We customize botanical treatments for individuals based on their skin and treatment goals. Our formulations incorporate traditional East Asian botanical formulas and scientifically studied single herbs, fruits, and other botanicals. Every topical agent is produced in-house in small batches.

First, we will have a 20-30-minute consultation to discuss your skin and overall goals in detail. Our comprehensive approach is designed to reassure and confidently guide you on your skincare journey. We will be transparent and openly express treatment expectations. Photos will be taken and saved after the treatment plan is reviewed for future comparison.
An example of a micro-needling treatment includes a 20-30-minute face-numbing session with LED light therapy and an optional mini-acupuncture session to treat the whole human system. The micro-needling area will be cleaned and disinfected. We will begin the micro-needling treatment using our unique botanically infused glycerine or hyaluronic acid. Lastly, a second LED light therapy treatment will help reduce inflammation and create more collagen and elastin. After-care information will be given at the end of the treatment.
