Certified acupuncturist Julius Nequia highlights natural, non-chemical treatments for skin, pain, and chronic conditions at Wilson Street clinic.
At SKNN by Bencao in West Green Hills, certified acupuncturist Julius Nequia offers a blend of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical aesthetics. Located at 226 Wilson Street, the clinic provides herbal restoration, cosmetic and medical acupuncture, and all-natural facial treatments—all without chemicals. Acupuncture services are available Thursdays and Fridays from 1 PM to 6 PM, with all-day Saturday sessions and Monday appointments.
Julius, a practitioner with ten years of experience, emphasizes acupuncture’s role in treating both physical and emotional conditions—from chronic pain and hypertension to anxiety, insomnia, and infertility. Treatments are tailored to individual diagnoses, focusing on restoring energy flow and balancing the body’s systems. All products and procedures use natural herbal formulas rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.
Acupuncture Explained: Using disposable needles on energy meridians, acupuncture removes blockages to restore the body’s natural healing ability—it is not a medicine but a stimulant for self-recovery.
Treatment Duration: Acute issues may need 1–3 sessions; chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension could require 10–20 sessions. Maintenance for general wellness can be weekly or monthly.
Credentials Matter: In the Philippines, acupuncturists should be certified by PITAC under the Department of Health. Training typically takes 2–3 years through accredited centers.
Accessibility: Acupuncture is safe for all ages, including infants and the elderly, and can be adapted to various health needs when performed by a skilled practitioner.
Integrative Approach: SKNN combines acupuncture with herbal facials and modern technology for holistic skin and whole-body health.
Julius entered the field through a Bachelor’s in Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the University of Makati, driven by a long-standing interest in energy-based healing. He works alongside other certified acupuncturists at SKNN, including Dr. Webb and Dr. Rama on Saturdays. The clinic’s mission aligns with his vision of holistic care that merges skincare with overall wellness.
“It’s all about holistic healing. It’s all about wellness. Acupuncture is very much connected—especially now that facial acupuncture is trending for aesthetics and health.” — Julius Nequia, Acupuncturist at SKNN.#
