Our Approach
A More Individual Approach to Aesthetics
At Koru Wellness Aesthetics, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Every plan begins with understanding your anatomy, skin, concerns, goals, medical history, and preferences.
Our philosophy is not about trying to make you look artificially younger. It is about helping you look your best for who you are — refreshed, balanced, and still unmistakably yourself.

A decade of thoughtful aesthetic care.
Founded in October 2016, Koru Wellness Aesthetics was created as a personal alternative to high-volume aesthetic practices.
The name Koru is inspired by the Māori koru, the form of an unfurling fern frond and a symbol often associated with growth, renewal, continuity, and new beginnings. The idea resonated with Dr. Chin while she was living in New Zealand and became the inspiration for the practice.
Our Story
Physician-Led Care
Care Led By
Vivian Chin, MD, MPH
Koru Wellness Aesthetics is a physician-led medical aesthetics practice founded by Vivian Chin, MD, MPH.
Dr. Chin’s approach emphasizes careful evaluation, patient education, natural-looking results, and treatment plans tailored to the individual rather than to trends or predetermined protocols.
Whether you are considering injectables, skin treatments, laser or light-based care, or a more comprehensive plan, the goal is to recommend what makes sense for your skin, anatomy, priorities, and lifestyle.
Meet Dr. Chin ↗Consultations
Start With the Right Treatment.
We recommend a consultation before every new treatment so we can evaluate your skin, review your medical history, anatomy, concerns, and goals, and determine which treatment is most appropriate for you.
We also discuss expected results, downtime, recovery, and alternatives so you can make an informed decision before proceeding.
New patients who have previously received Botox or another neuromodulator elsewhere may choose our focused Botox New Patient Consultation.
