Our Story
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.
Kintsu Medical Aesthetics has deep expertise in a clinical reality. Melanin-rich skin responds differently to aesthetic treatments, and too many practices have not caught up to that fact. We ensure our physician-designed protocols are safe for every skin tone. Our Medical Director, Dr. Nawal, MD, is not a signature on a compliance form. This is a genuinely physician-led practice with physician-designed clinical protocols.
Why patients trust Kintsu
Every protocol is precise for every skin tone, Fitzpatrick I–VI, with specialist depth in melanin-rich skin.

Medical Director
A genuinely physician-led practice with physician-designed clinical protocols — not a signature on a compliance form.
Named protocols and devices, calibrated here:
We treat all skin tones with the same clinical precision.
Our Values
Most medspas use general protocols and adjust loosely for skin type. We built our approach the other way: starting with the skin that is easiest to get wrong, then holding every patient, Fitzpatrick I–VI, to that standard.
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.
We do not sell treatments. We prescribe them. Every service starts with a clinical assessment, not a menu.
Kintsu's clinical protocols are physician-designed, and our clinical standards are set and overseen by our Medical Director. This is a genuinely physician-led practice.
Built by design, not by accident. Our protocols, devices, and clinical focus are chosen for the demands of melanin-rich skin — and we bring that same standard of care to every skin tone.
Metabolic health is part of the whole picture. We pair aesthetic treatments with physician-led obesity medicine—including GLP-1 therapy—because looking and feeling your best are the same goal.
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.
You should look like yourself, refreshed. Not like someone else entirely.
Skin health starts internally. We are proud to introduce physician-led obesity medicine to Kintsu. Experience a hands-on, medical approach to weight management designed to help you look and feel your best—from the inside out.
"Metabolic health is the foundation of aesthetic results."
— Dr. Nawal, MD

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit.
Yes. Kintsu has deep expertise in Fitzpatrick types IV–VI — melanin-rich skin tones historically underserved in aesthetic medicine. Our protocols, device settings, and treatment sequences are physician-designed with this in mind and are safe for every skin tone. The Skin of Color Society is the leading professional organization dedicated to this exact gap in care — and it is the reason Kintsu exists. We welcome all patients and bring that same clinical precision to every skin tone we treat.
Yes. Dr. Nawal, MD is our Medical Director, and Kintsu's clinical protocols are physician-designed. This is different from practices where a physician name is on a license but not in the building. The AAD's guidance on cosmetic treatment safety emphasizes why in-depth physician oversight is essential — and that is exactly how Kintsu operates. Meet our providers
Your first visit begins with a complimentary consultation where we review your skin history, previous treatments, and goals. Our medical team is involved in every patient's treatment plan. We will walk you through our recommendations, explain why we chose them, and make sure you are completely comfortable before any treatment begins.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a real and well-documented risk in melanin-rich skin, and it is the main reason Kintsu has deep expertise in this area. Every protocol is calibrated to minimize pigment disruption. Device settings and post-care are adjusted specifically for your Fitzpatrick type, making our treatments safe for every skin tone. A 2024 systematic review in the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery confirms that PIH is among the most common concerns in melanin-rich skin — and that proper provider expertise is essential to preventing it.
Yes. A complimentary consultation is included with every first visit. Our hand-picked provider team will see you — you will leave knowing exactly what we recommend and why. The AAD recommends that patients always have a thorough consultation before any cosmetic procedure, and we agree completely.
