A Med Spa Built for How Your Skin Actually Works
Every skin tone needs calibrated protocols, not adapted ones. Kintsu was founded to treat Fitzpatrick I–VI with the rigor melanin-rich skin demands, the skin most practices treat as an afterthought.

The difference
Standard protocols were designed for one skin type. Yours isn't it.
Most medical aesthetics practices use the same device settings, depth parameters, and serum formulas regardless of skin tone. That is a risk for everyone: under-treatment and redness on fair skin, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on brown and deep-brown skin. The rigor melanin-rich skin demands is the rigor every patient gets here.
Common gaps at practices that run one setting for every skin tone
- One laser or peel setting used on every patient, whatever their Fitzpatrick type
- No adjustment for the pigment response that heat and friction stir up in melanin-rich skin
- Generic microneedling depth, regardless of skin tone or scar type
- No aftercare plan for the hyperpigmentation a treatment can leave behind
What sets us apart
Calibrated for your skin, not borrowed from someone else's protocol.
Protocol, not guesswork
Settings matched to your Fitzpatrick type
Energy, depth and pass count are set to your Fitzpatrick type, I through VI, at every session. Settings that suit fair skin can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker tones, and settings that suit darker skin can under-treat fair skin. We plan for both.
Physician oversight
Dr. Nawal in every treatment plan
Kintsu is physician-led and physician-founded. Dr. Nawal serves as Medical Director and reviews protocols — real clinical oversight, not a physician license posted in the lobby.
Built from lived experience
Minority-owned and built for you
Kintsu is minority-owned and was built because standard med spa protocols were never designed with skin of color in mind, and no one should be an afterthought. That shapes how we train, which devices we choose, and how we measure results, for every skin tone.
What we treat
Two treatments dosed for your skin tone, Fitzpatrick I–VI.
Every session starts with a complimentary consultation to confirm the right protocol for your skin.

Book a HydraFacial →Collagen remodeling
Microneedling
From $335 · face, face + neck, and scar-focused options
Medical-grade micro-channels prompt your skin to rebuild collagen and elastin. Depth is calibrated to your Fitzpatrick type — the single most important variable for darker skin. Done right, it remodels texture and softens scars without the pigment risk of more aggressive resurfacing. We start conservative and build.
