About the founder

Where biology meets personalized skincare.

Meet Phuong Dang

I believe healthy skin begins with understanding the biology beneath it. Before becoming an esthetician, I spent six years as a bioscientist, where I developed a deep understanding of cellular biology, inflammation, pigmentation, and tissue repair. Today, I bring that scientific foundation into every treatment I perform at SORA Skin & Ritual House.

In practice, that means reading what is happening beneath the surface rather than treating what shows on it: barrier function, inflammation, pigment activity, and how your skin repairs itself.

Since becoming a licensed esthetician in 2011, I have spent more than a decade in the treatment room applying that understanding to acne, melasma, pigmentation, post-acne scarring, sensitivity, and the visible signs of aging.

Every treatment plan begins with understanding what your skin needs, what it can tolerate, and how professional treatments and a realistic home-care routine can work together toward long-term skin health.

At SORA, appointments are private and personalized, allowing me to focus entirely on you and your skin.

When I'm not in the treatment room, I'm spending time with my daughter, who reminds me daily that lasting results, whether in life or skincare, come from consistency and care.

Why SORA

What makes a treatment here different.

  • Science-led expertise

    Every treatment begins with understanding your skin rather than following a fixed protocol. My background in bioscience and more than a decade as a licensed esthetician guide each decision, from treatment selection to the ingredients and technologies used.

  • One room. One client.

    A private studio where appointments do not overlap. Your experience is personal, unhurried, and focused entirely on you.

  • Personalized corrective care

    From acne and pigmentation to melasma, post-acne scarring, sensitivity, and visible signs of aging, treatment plans are thoughtfully designed around your individual skin concerns and long-term goals.

  • Honest treatment planning

    You'll understand your recommended treatment plan, expected timeline, and home-care guidance. Recommendations are based on what your skin genuinely needs and what realistically fits into your lifestyle.
