Great for people of all ages, Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural, chemical-free treatment that promotes subtle, organic changes to the skin over time to reach your cosmetic goals. Tiny, hair thin needles are inserted gently to specific points on the face to take care of many bothersome skin issues on the face.
Each acupuncture needle is as thin as a human hair. There is very minimal pain. Can expect the initial tiny prick like a mosquito bite followed by a dull achy sensation that quickly goes away after the needle is in place. A: Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural, chemical-free treatment for the skin, without potential risks and downtime of more invasive cosmetic procedures.

I have been seeing Dr. Wu since 2016! Since puberty I've had acne that just wouldn't go away. It would evolve into different areas as my hormones changed and none of the "natural remedies" or even doctor prescribed antibiotics worked. I decided to quit following Youtube tutorials and see a specialist that wouldn't just give me medication. After 10 acupuncture sessions with herbs and her recommended Amway skincare products, my acne of 10 years just stopped... it was crazy! I only had one more outbreak in 2021 (not as bad as before) and once again after 7 or 8 sessions, my acne just stopped. Dr.

I have been wanting to come get acupuncture done by Dr. Wu since a few years ago but never got the chance to since I live pretty far from this area. I finally was able to come recently to get treatments and I am so happy that I did!
I wanted to come because although I don't have visible breakouts on my face often, I do have a lot of red bumps and red spots on my face that lingered for years already. So I decided to give cosmetic acupuncture a try. It's quite interesting and may be terrifying for a first timer, but honestly it didn't hurt as much as I thought. You just feel a quick

I've been going to Rapha's Acupuncture for almost 3 years! I originally started going because I was going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal and had steroid induced eczema. I was at my wits end trying to find a treatment that would help heal my skin. Wanting to go the holistic route I decided to give acupuncture a try after reading such positive reviews for Dr.Wu treating eczema. Before going to Dr.Wu my eczema was all over my body. It was bad! After the first treatment my eczema started healing. Little by little the inflammation, redness, itchiness and dryness went away. My skin was

Have been coming to Rapha for 2.5 years and it is worth every single penny you spend!!!!! Health is wealth, and every time I feel the slightest ailment in my body, I would go see Dr. Wu to get acupuncture treatments and herbs.
I first started coming to Rapha for very bad hormonal acne on the side of my cheeks and forehead. I had alot of heat and wind toxins in my body causing cystic acne and bumpy skin, and Dr. Wu was able to clear up my toxins along with my skin!!!! She has introduced me to great skin care products that worked well with my sensitive skin.

Beautiful Dr. Wu and her staff Johnny are amazing!! She's my go-to doctor when there are health concerns I cannot get resolved with my doctor. When I was 10 months pregnant, 40 weeks into the pregnancy, there are no signs of labor, my husband and I was worried and we tried everything. I was referred by a friend who had a successful nature induction with Dr. Wu, so I gave it a go. When I was in her clinic, Dr. Wu checked my pulse and told me I really had no signs of labor even though my doctor told me my baby's position is ready and it is any time now. So I ask Dr. Wu to perform the nature

My husband and I have really enjoyed services from Rapha Acupuncture and Herbs! When I was nine months pregnant Dr. Wu did an acupuncture treatment on me so that I could have a smooth labor and delivery--I was beyond ready for the baby to come at that point-- lo and behold 24 hours later after my acupuncture treatment my water broke and I was able to go into and all natural and safe birth! I am so thankful for Dr. Wu and her team and I recommend her services to absolutely everyone! They are so friendly and relatable and are absolute perfectionists!!

Dr. Wu and her staff are amazing! I came here a few weeks ago for treatment and the experience was awesome. The office was very clean and I felt really comfortable coming in as the front desk greeted me and checked me in. It was my first visit, and unlike the usual medical office, I was taken in fairly quickly. Dr. Wu was very thorough, took the time to listen to my problems and made the effort to talked with me about what was going on. The whole time I felt taken care of, and I felt very comfortable with her and her treatments. I was given some herbs to take at home at the end of my treatment

Love coming to Rapha Acupuncture And herb. Dr. Wu is always very kind and listen carefully with all the questions and concerns I have and answered them all with a lot of patience! I've taken the medicine that dr Wu has prescribed me and seen tremendous progress with my health and energy. Also I took my baby girl one time for a skin issue and dr Wu gave us a cream that works like magic ! Overall love the experience and my personal opinion, Rapha acupuncture and herb is the best and only Chinese medicine clinic my family and I would go!

Very disappointed in the honesty of this place. I came a few years ago, and the staff claimed they would submit to my insurance after charging me first for over $100. I waited over 6 months and nothing, I feel they are very unethical and dishonest. I am still waiting for my refund as they got the money from my insurance. Unbelievable. Nice looking doctor, but greedy probably.

Their eczema cream saved our little girls life. I'm exaggerating alittle but. She had mild eczema, but even mild can be extremely frustrating. Little small breakouts can spread, bleed, and ruin our girls skin. We catch it early, apply the cream, and the next day there are amazingly better results. They swear there are no steroids and gave us an ingredients list. Thank god because aveeno and all other products I found for eczema just didn't work at all. Thank god. That's all I have to say.

Dr. Wu changed my life. She treated my eczema for 3 months and after 3 years of suffering with topical steroids her herbals and acupuncture treatment and creams changed my life. My itching drastically decreased.
She is caring and compassionate and Johnny at the front desk was so Knowledgeable and caring it just made the experience and the healing that much better. thank you both for healing me!

I hate to write negative reviews, but I can finally think more clearly now that I'm out of the first-year-baby-haze.
I came to this clinic while I was pregnant with some rashes, which I believe were related to my pregnancy hormones. Dr. Wu was very easy to talk to, but what really irked me about this office was the doctor ALWAYS ran behind on her appointments. I ALWAYS showed up on time for my appointments (I probably had 5 visits or so), but I'd always end up waiting for the doctor. There was one appointment where I was waiting around for 45 minutes. Can you imagine that you're

My 2-year-old son had eczema. He was itchy all over. He would scratch himself to the point of breaking skin. We must tried at least 20+ creams specifically formulated for eczema. We tried many homeopathic remedies as well. In the end we went to a dermatologist who prescribed hydrocortisone. We tried it for a few days but it didn't sit well with me. I felt helpless. So I looked up Chinese herbal doctors and have been so grateful that I found Dr. Wu.
She listened to my struggles. She gave me a list of foods to avoid and a herbal cream that I all the "magic cream". Within

I am so glad I found Dr. Wu. I wasn't particularly looking for this clinic at first and was browsing Yelp for local acupuncture clinics for my dad with arm pain. Saw this clinic with great reviews and read one review who said they brought their baby here for eczema.
My son who is now 7 months has been battling eczema since he was 2 months old. Every time we went to the pediatrician we would get prescribed hydrocortisone creams and was told to apply no more than 2x a day. Even when I put the cortisone on him, he would get better for a few hours then break out again. I was having a tough time

Very smart lady, lots of tcm knowledge in her head.
Didnt want to repeat what other said...such as kind, caring, sweet...
but that's exactly the first impression I had when I first saw her..
I don't live around the area so I can't get to visit the clinic often, so i recommend her to my friends and family that lives in LA.
