On the Personal Side

At 40, the wrinkles hit hard and fast. First came the crow lines and age spots…then creases on the forehead. When chunks of hair started shedding, it was time to take action.

Toxic or harsh chemicals like botox, fillers, and facial peels were out of the question. I wanted natural, holistic therapies that didn’t make my face look funny after the procedure.

Combining my skills as an acupuncture and herbal medicine doctor with modern medical innovations, I embarked on a holistic path to radiant aging. Maintaining youthful vitality requires methods that support the body, calm the mind, and nourish the spirit. Seven years later, I founded Skinovation to share my expertise and help others feel younger, look better, and be healthier.
