About Bai Beauty & Acupuncture

Bai Beauty & Acupuncture is an acupuncture and integrative wellness clinic dedicated to helping people feel better, live healthier, and reveal their natural beauty from within.

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, our approach looks beyond individual symptoms. Through TCM assessment, we explore each person’s unique constitution and patterns of imbalance—including concerns that may not always be fully explained by conventional medical testing.

Our treatments integrate acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, acupressure, Qigong and Tai Chi, holistic facial rejuvenation, herbal skincare, and lifestyle wellness. From pain and stress management to emotional well-being, healthy aging, and natural aesthetics, our goal is to support the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
We believe that when the body returns to balance, health and beauty naturally follow.

​

Our philosophy is not about doing more to the body. It is about helping the body return to balance, simplicity, and its natural state.

The name “Bai” (白) carries this philosophy. In Chinese language and aesthetics, 白 can evoke purity, simplicity, clarity, and openness. It also recalls the concept of “leaving blank space”—an important principle in traditional Chinese art and aesthetics.

We bring this idea into our approach to health and beauty: less intervention, more balance; less excess, more intention.

Through personalized and minimally invasive care, we aim to help each person reconnect with their natural state—healthier, calmer, more confident, and naturally radiant.

Eastern Wisdom. Modern Aesthetics. Beauty from Within.

Our Story

Our story began in 2016 in San Jose, originally as SW Beauty Bar, with a focus on beauty and aesthetics.

Over time, founder Chenyang (Karina) Bai began to see beauty differently. Skin, facial appearance, energy, stress, sleep, emotions, and overall health were deeply interconnected. Lasting beauty could not be achieved by focusing only on the surface.

This realization led her to begin studying Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2017 and gradually transformed the original beauty studio into a practice centered on acupuncture, wellness, and integrative aesthetics.

Today, Bai Beauty & Acupuncture represents that evolution—from simply creating beauty on the outside to cultivating health, balance, and beauty from within.
