Dr. Sebaa is the skincare and wellness business of Aïcha Sebaa, and its clinic, Acupuncture Sanctuary for Women, serves women only in San Diego. The clinic offers acupuncture and integrative medicine for women across life stages, including hormonal skin changes, fertility concerns, prenatal and postpartum factors, and transitions such as perimenopause. According to the site, the clinic also sees patients for menstrual irregularities, acne, digestive and immune concerns, and overwhelm.
The practice combines functional medicine with East Asian medicine. Its approach is holistic and systems-based, aimed at stimulating the body's own self-healing and at addressing underlying imbalances. Care is one-on-one, and visits are strictly by appointment, with no walk-ins. A complimentary 15-minute consultation lets a visitor see whether traditional East Asian and integrative functional medicine suit them before booking. New patient sessions run 60 to 120 minutes and include a fuller history and review of systems. Returning patient sessions run 45 to 60 minutes and use integrative and functional modalities suited to the condition.
Acupuncture is the core service, using thin sterile needles at selected points. It can be combined with cupping, moxibustion, infrared therapy, electrical stimulation, aromatherapy, tui na and nutritional counseling. The site lists common areas addressed as women's health, pre- and postnatal care, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, fibromyalgia, weight management, stress relief and pain relief. Detox and recovery auricular sessions for returning patients are 30 to 45 minutes and are used between regular treatments, and a 30 to 45 minute post-workout recovery session is also offered to returning patients, with patients asked to eat beforehand.
The facial line is built around the skincare side of the business. A 60 to 90 minute facial rejuvenation and natural beauty session is tailored to each client's skin type and uses a custom herbal beauty blend. Each facial acupuncture session includes a Japanese Jade Stone acupressure facial and an Ayurvedic aromatherapy scalp massage. The site recommends a series of facial treatments, since effects are described as cumulative. The clinic says that cosmetic acupuncture may help with fine lines, complexion, pores and puffiness, and describes these effects as achievable naturally.
The clinic accepts most PPO health plans and lists itself as in-network with several insurers, including Blue Shield of California PPO, United Healthcare and Optum Health. Fees may vary with insurance coverage, and the clinic will verify coverage on request. Before treatment, patients are asked to avoid foods or drinks that change tongue color, avoid unusually large meals, and avoid overexercise or alcohol within 6 hours before or after.
Uses a holistic, systems-based model that combines functional medicine with East Asian medicine, aiming to stimulate the body's self-healing and address underlying imbalances.
The clinic describes its space as a cozy healing environment.
