“The Meeting Point of East and West: Fusion of Tradition and Modernity”
The convergence of East and West is a fascinating concept where cultures collide and intertwine, creating a dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity.
“Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) has also seen significant exchanges and advancements over time.”
Throughout history, Traditional Korean Medicine has undergone exchanges and developments, both internally and externally. Influenced by neighboring cultures such as Chinese Medicine, TKM has adapted and evolved, while also maintaining its unique characteristics and practices.
Overall, Traditional Korean Medicine has continuously evolved through exchanges with other medical traditions and advancements in research, contributing to the broader landscape of global healthcare.
Our clinic, newly established in the city of Troy, is precisely such a place—a nexus where East meets West, fostering growth and innovation. Setting ourselves apart from other skincare facilities, we offer comprehensive care for both skin and gut health. Our approach begins with a thorough diagnostic examination of the patient’s overall health, addressing skincare concerns alongside dietary and gastrointestinal health management.
Drawing from the rich traditions of both Eastern and Western medicine, we integrate holistic practices with modern techniques to provide personalized treatment plans. Whether it’s addressing dermatological issues, optimizing nutrition for skin health, or promoting gut wellness, our clinic aims to offer a holistic approach to healthcare.
By embracing this integrated model, we aim to contribute to the advancement of healthcare, bridging the gap between traditional and modern medical practices. Our clinic in Troy serves as a testament to the ongoing dialogue and collaboration between diverse medical traditions, striving for the well-being and vitality of our patients.
Meet our team
David Kang L.Ac. MsOM.(co-founder)
Hello, I’m David Kang. I come from a family of Traditional Korean traditional medicine practitioners, currently living as the third generation in this lineage. I’m immensely grateful for my father, who, from a young age, taught me the importance of learning Traditional Korean medicine and treating patients’ illnesses.
I used to wonder why my father’s room always had its light on, but now that I’ve become an acupuncturist myself, I understand the reason. It seems that as an acupuncturist, one must study and learn every day for the sake of their patients. Like our father did, I also dedicate time every day to studying and thinking about how to help my patients. I aspire to always prioritize my patients and consider the root cause of their illnesses in my treatments, just as our father did.
The idea of integrating skincare treatment and traditional medicine is something we inherited from our father. Instead of just combining Western and Eastern approaches, we want our clinic to be a space where outer appearance and internal health are balanced together. We aim for the highest quality of care, and we’ll always strive to be a clinic that gives our best. Thank you.
Suji Jang Esthetician (co-founder)
My journey into holistic skincare began with a deep curiosity about how treatments could impact both appearance and spirit. This passion led me to pursue an esthetician license and earn a first-class certificate in meridian massage, solidifying my expertise in holistic skincare.
Inspired by intricate Korean K-facial techniques, we blend traditional wisdom with modern practices to provide personalized, holistic care for each client. I believe skincare is more than just a treatment—it’s about rejuvenating the spirit. That’s why I tailor each session to the unique needs of my clients, ensuring that every treatment not only enhances their appearance but also uplifts their well-being.
I have wholeheartedly embraced the idea of integrating skincare and traditional medicine. I want my clinic to be a space where outer beauty and inner health come together in harmony. Instead of just combining Western and Eastern approaches, my goal is to provide the highest quality of care by prioritizing my clients’ well-being.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I can’t wait to help you achieve your skincare goals with treatments that honor both tradition and innovation.
Emily Kang Esthetician :
Hello everyone!
It’s so exciting to connect with you all! Let me share a bit about my journey with you. Since I was young, skincare has always fascinated me, but I never imagined it would lead to a career. When I decided to pursue my major in metal design at Cranbrook Graduate School in the United States,
my dream was to return to Korea and become a university professor. However, life had other plans for me, and now I find myself happily settled in the City of Troy with my wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters.
Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it? It presented me with an unexpected opportunity, and I chose to embrace it wholeheartedly. Now, as a skincare specialist, I’m dedicated to helping those struggling with skin problems find relief and confidence. To all of you who visit our clinic, I encourage you to consider embarking on your own new adventures. Whether it’s trying a new skincare routine or exploring holistic wellness practices, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Your worries and concerns will always be heard and understood with genuine care. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I can’t wait to welcome you to our clinic and embark on this adventure together! See you soon!
