ABOUT OUR APPROACH
Naturally lift, brighten
& heal your skin
Your skin is one of the most honest reflections of your internal health. Stress, hormonal shifts, inflammation, gut imbalance — they all show up on your face before almost anywhere else.
At Meraki, we don't believe in masking what your skin is trying to tell you. We listen to it, and we treat the whole picture — naturally and without harsh chemicals.
01 Treat The Root
We address what's driving your skin concerns internally — not just what's visible on the surface.
03 No Harsh Chemicals
A wonderfully natural alternative to botox — and a lovely complement for our botox gals too!
02 Personalised Plan
Every treatment plan is designed around your skin, your constitution, and your lifestyle.
04 Lasting Results
Results that build over time because we're addressing the underlying cause, not just the symptom.
WHAT WE TREAT
Tailored to your skin goals,
discover what's possible
Whether you're navigating stubborn acne, the early signs of ageing, uneven pigmentation or persistent redness — we have a treatment, or combination of treatments, that can make a real difference.
Anti-Ageing &
Fine Lines
As collagen production naturally slows from our mid-20s, fine lines, loss of firmness and a duller complexion become more visible. Our treatments stimulate your body's own collagen and elastin — lifting, brightening and firming from within. Skin that looks genuinely healthier, not frozen.
Pigmentation &
Uneven Tone
Whether from sun damage, hormonal changes, melasma or post-inflammatory marks — pigmentation can be deeply frustrating when topicals aren't shifting it. Chinese medicine addresses discolouration at a systemic level, targeting the liver and blood patterns that often underlie it.
Facial tension — jaw, forehead & beyond
At Meraki, we treat facial tension as the whole-body issue it really is. Facial acupuncture targets specific trigger points across the jaw, masseter, temples and forehead to release deeply held muscular tension, while gua sha works along the meridian lines to improve circulation and encourage the face to truly let go.
OUR TREATMENTS
Beautifully tailored to your skin,
discover the treatments
Whether you're starting fresh or building on an existing routine, we'll design a plan — or combination — that makes real sense for your skin.
01
Facial Acupuncture
Our most comprehensive skin treatment and the one we recommend as a starting point for most clients. Ultra-fine needles are placed at specific points on the face and body — stimulating microcirculation, triggering collagen production, and addressing the internal imbalances that manifest on the skin.
It's genuinely effective. It's also one of the most relaxing things you'll ever do.

Fine lines & loss of volume
-
Dull or tired complexion

Jaw tension & TMJ

Under-eye puffiness & dark circles
-
Uneven tone & pigmentation
-
Redness & sensitivity

02
Facial Gua Sha
Using a smooth rose quartz or jade tool, our gua sha facial is far more than a relaxing massage — it's a therapeutic treatment that sculpts, drains and brightens the skin along the meridian lines. Think of it as an au naturel facelift.

Improves lymphatic drainage

03
LED Light Therapy
LED therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to trigger healing processes deep within the skin — with zero downtime and zero discomfort. Safe for all skin types including sensitive and reactive skin, and beautiful as a standalone session or paired with facial acupuncture for enhanced results.
-
Red light — stimulates collagen, reduces inflammation
-
Near-infrared — deeper cellular repair
-
Ideal for rosacea, anti-ageing & post-treatment recovery
-
No UV, no downtime, safe for all skin types
04
Chinese Herbal Medicine for Skin
Your skin's condition is deeply connected to your liver, blood and gut. Herbal medicine works on these root causes — which is why it's often the missing piece for clients who've tried every topical product without lasting results. All prescriptions at Meraki are completely individualised. Never off-the-shelf.
-
Hormonal acne & breakouts
-
Persistent pigmentation & melasma
-
Rosacea & inflammatory skin conditions
-
Skin that changes with your cycle
-
Post-pill skin disruption

WHY IT WORKS
The inside-out approach —
why your skin needs this
Most skincare addresses the skin from the outside in. For chronic or recurring skin concerns, this only ever produces temporary results — because it never addresses why the skin is struggling in the first place. Chinese medicine has spent thousands of years understanding the relationship between internal health and skin condition.
Hormonal
Health
Cycle regularity, contraception history, perimenopause
Gut Health
Digestion, bowel habits, bloating patterns
Stress & Sleep
Nervous system regulation and recovery
Your Constitution
Tongue, pulse & classical Chinese diagnostics
