About

Founded by Dr. Lydia Au, the clinic focuses on skin health and healthy aging through what it calls no-tox holistic beauty and wellness. Its care draws on cosmetic acupuncture, Chinese Medicine dermatology, medicinal skincare and functional medicine, and it describes itself as the only clinic in Orange County specializing in facial acupuncture.

Most new patients begin with a focused treatment series and then move to monthly visits or a membership. A discovery visit for new patients is a 90-minute MeridianLift session priced at $300, and follow-up visits are shorter and less expensive. According to the clinic, it has performed thousands of facial acupuncture treatments and uses no injectables. Personalized plans can include dietary guidance, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes and non-toxic skin therapies.

Visits are by appointment only, Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm. New prospective clients can request a complimentary 15-minute consultation, and the team contacts them within one business day to arrange it. The clinic is not in network with any insurance but provides a superbill for possible reimbursement, and it notes that aesthetic services, including facial acupuncture, are elective and not covered.

Facial memberships start at $135 a month, acupuncture facial memberships are $225 a month, and biweekly acupuncture facial memberships are $425 a month.
