Back to 200 years ago, in the Forbidden City, the Queen and concubines were trying very hard to keep their looks and stay young. Imperial doctors applied acupuncture to bring healthy color to the face and prevent aging. Their successful experience was recorded in <Secrete Royal Classics of Qin Dynasty>.

Dr. Yan studied the ancient experience and combined them with modern science such as Human Anatomy, Neurology and Dermatology. She started to practice Cosmetic Acupuncture in 1994 when she was practicing acupuncture and Chinese herbs in China. She combined Chinese facial massage, acupuncture and herbs to help to relieve wrinkles, acnes and bring radiance to the face.

When she came to Canada, she attended a course with Ms. Virginia Doran, an expert in facial rejuvenation acupuncture in the States and got a certificate from her. Hence, Dr. Yan formed her own facial rejuvenation style of integration of   east and west, ancient and modern.
