What is it?
A way to choose, and a way to pace
Chinese medicine describes nature, and the skin, through five elements. Here they give each session a clear purpose.
A language for skin, not a diagnosis
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are names for what your skin is doing right now: congested, flushed, tired, tight or thirsty. Your own assessment decides which one leads.
Earth is the center
Everyone receives an Earth formula as the base, and one other element is chosen as the modifier. That keeps it simple: two products per session, matched to you.
Five sessions, five focuses
The journey walks through all five, one element per session, several weeks apart, so your skin has time to renew in between. Each element has its own colour, its own serum and its own tea.
Two ways to deliver it
With microneedling, purified water-soluble boosters go in with the treatment. With nanoneedling, botanical serums work at the surface, with no downtime. Red light therapy is part of both.
Session 1 of 5 · Malachite green
Wood: Clarify, even, move
Wood is the element of growth and movement. In the skin, it is the session for clearing and evening out: lifting the look of congestion, dullness and puffiness so the face looks fresher and more open.
- Leads with
- Congestion, uneven tone, puffiness
- Signature serum
- Green Tea Clear: green tea and niacinamide, for congested, oily skin
- Tea pairing
- Green tea or young sheng puerh
- What you may notice
- A fresh, clear look. Skin feels lighter and tone looks more even.
Session 2 of 5 · Cinnabar red
Fire: Calm and cool
Fire is warmth and radiance. In the skin, it is the session for settling heat and reactivity: the flushed, easily irritated skin that needs soothing before it needs anything else.
- Leads with
- Redness, heat, reactive skin
- Signature serum
- Lotus Calm: lotus, centella and ectoin, for redness and sensitivity
- Tea pairing
- Lotus leaf or chrysanthemum
- What you may notice
- A calmer, cooler look, with a quiet glow.
Session 3 of 5 · Aged gold
Earth: Lift and nourish
Earth is the center. It grounds the whole journey: every session begins with Earth's nourishment and is then tuned by one other element. The Earth session itself gives that centre your full attention, for skin that has lost its bounce.
- Leads with
- Loss of firmness, tired skin
- Signature serum
- Astragalus Lift: astragalus and signal peptides, for sagging and loss of tone
- Tea pairing
- Roasted oolong
- What you may notice
- Skin that looks fed, supported and more lifted.
Session 4 of 5 · Pearl white
Metal: Refine and protect
Metal is refinement. In the skin, it is the session for smoothing the surface and protecting the barrier, so skin that feels tight, rough or easily irritated can settle.
- Leads with
- Barrier, texture, pores
- Signature serum
- Snow Mushroom Dew: snow mushroom (tremella) and panthenol, for dewy hydration
- Tea pairing
- White tea
- What you may notice
- A smoother, finer surface that feels comfortable and dewy.
Session 5 of 5 · Lapis and ink
Water: Restore and deepen
Water is depth and reserve. In the skin, it is the session for hydration and the finer lines that thirst leaves behind, with extra support for mature, slow-recovering skin.
- Leads with
- Dehydration, fine lines
- Signature serum
- Apple Stem Cell Restore: apple stem cell and low-weight hyaluronic acid, for mature skin and fine lines
- Tea pairing
- Shou puerh
- What you may notice
- Plumper, more deeply hydrated skin, with softer fine lines.
One journey, three ways in
Choose how deep you want to go
The five elements guide the whole series. You choose the treatment that carries it.
Cosmetic acupuncture
The gentlest way in. Fine needles along the face, with each session shaped by that session's element. No downtime.
Nanoneedling
A gentle glow with no downtime. Five 60-minute sessions with red light therapy.
Microneedling
Deeper renewal for lines, scars and texture. Five 90-minute sessions with red light therapy.
Common questions
What does Five Element mean here?
Chinese medicine describes nature, and the skin, through five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Here they are a simple language for what your skin is doing right now. They are not a diagnosis.
What is a session like?
Every journey starts with an intake. Each session then leads with one element, with Earth's nourishment as the grounding base. Red light therapy is part of the treatment.
Why is this less invasive than ordinary cosmetic microneedling?
Sessions are paced several weeks apart and matched to what your skin needs that day, rather than run as a one-size-fits-all package. Nanoneedling stays at the surface and has no downtime.
What is the serum?
Each element has its own signature serum, chosen for what that element's session is meant to do for the skin. It is part of the session, and your plan is set at your first visit.
Why is it beneficial?
Skin does best when it is given time to renew between visits, and when each session has one clear job. The journey gives the series a shape, so you are not repeating the same treatment five times.
What are the short-term results?
Most people notice skin that looks fresher and feels more hydrated in the days after a session. Microneedling can leave mild pinkness for a day or so. Nanoneedling has no downtime.
What are the long-term results?
Results build as the sessions add up. Skin tends to look firmer, smoother and more even over the course of the series. Individual results vary.
Why did you create it?
I wanted a way to bring the thinking of Chinese medicine into skin care that feels calm, personal and unhurried, and to give each visit its own purpose.
Do I have to do all five?
The journey is designed as five sessions, one for each element. Book all five and the fifth session is free, which is 20% off.
Can I try one session first?
Yes. If you start with a single session and decide to continue, that first session counts toward the series.
Who does the treatment?
Roozbeh Ghobadpour, L.Ac., a licensed acupuncturist with over 10 years of clinical experience.
Where is the clinic?
At 2116 N Glenoaks Blvd, Ste 3, Burbank, CA 91504.
