“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.
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.
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!

Over time, I expanded my services to include eyelash extensions, eyebrow shaping, and body waxing, allowing me to offer a wider range of beauty treatments. I’m constantly inspired by how the beauty industry evolves with new techniques and technologies, and I love staying current with trends to provide my clients the best care possible. Each treatment I offer is customized to meet the individual needs of my clients, using plant-based products and holistic techniques for a truly transformative experience.
What truly drives me is helping people feel confident and at their best. Whether it’s enhancing their lashes or helping them achieve glowing, healthy skin, I take pride in making a positive impact. I especially enjoy tailoring facials to each person’s unique needs, whether through plant-based ingredients or specific massage techniques, ensuring every session aligns with their skin type, concerns, and overall well-being.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me outdoors, whether relaxing on the beach or immersing myself in nature. Staying connected to the natural world helps me stay grounded and inspired, and I bring that sense of calm and balance into my work to ensure every client leaves feeling rejuvenated and centered.
