Our Story
Built for skin that has been
overlooked long enough.
There is a Japanese art form called kintsugi. When a piece of pottery breaks, you do not throw it away. You repair it with gold lacquer. The cracks become the most visible part — not because the damage is celebrated, but because the repair is.
At Kintsu, the repair is the point. And it starts with a physician who actually understands how your skin works.
Our Values
What We Stand For
So much of aesthetic medicine is focused on concealment — covering, erasing, hiding. Our approach is different. We treat what actually changed your skin, with clinical precision and respect for skin that has too often been treated as an afterthought.
Results over promises.
We do not sell treatments. We prescribe them. Every service starts with a clinical assessment, not a menu.
Physician presence, not physician cover.
Dr. Nawal co-owns and is actively involved in this practice. Her name on the door means the same as her name on the plan.
Specialized in skin of color.
Not inclusive by accident. Built by design. Our protocols, devices, and clinical focus are developed for Fitzpatrick types III–VI — and we welcome every patient through the same standard of care.
Inside-out care.
We believe in a holistic approach to metabolic health. We pair aesthetic treatments with physician-led obesity medicine—including GLP-1 therapy—because looking and feeling your best are the same goal.
Honest guidance.
We will tell you which treatments will work for your skin. We will also tell you which ones will not — even if that means a smaller bill.
Natural results.
You should look like yourself, refreshed. Not like someone else entirely.
The Sequence
A meticulous
path to results.
We believe in transparency at every stage. This is the exact journey every patient takes at our practice, from the first conversation to long-term maintenance.
Schedule a Consultation
Reach out by email or phone. No commitment required. The consultation is where the real conversation starts.
Complimentary with every first visit
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Meet with our provider team. We review your skin history, what you have tried, what worked and what did not, and what your goals are. Dr. Nawal is involved in treatment planning for every patient.
No upselling. Just listening.
Personalized Treatment Plan
We build a protocol based on your skin type, Fitzpatrick classification, pigment risk, downtime tolerance, and long-term goals. You leave knowing exactly what we recommend and why.
We build you a plan, not hand you a menu
Treatment
Services are delivered by trained providers under physician oversight. Protocols are followed precisely — not approximated.
Physician-supervised at every step
Follow-Up & Adjustment
We check in after treatment. Skin responds over time, and we adjust plans based on what we see. The goal is long-term results, not a single visit.
Your results are a relationship, not a transaction
