Hollywood’s Go-To Wellness Treatments by Dr. Ellie Byun
According to Dr. Ellie Byun, a licensed acupuncturist in L.A. with 17 years of experience, true beauty originates from within.
“I’ve assisted patients in healing from the inside out through acupuncture, cupping, and tailored herbal medicine,” Byun shares in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, whose esteemed clientele includes Miranda Kerr, Brooks Nader, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Elsa Hosk, and more.
She eventually synergized her knowledge of Eastern medicine with “advanced Korean skincare technologies” to address both the yin (internal) and yang (external). Her skincare brand, MIMOH bydr.ellie, launched in 2025 after she observed outstanding results from salmon DNA-derived PDRN in her treatments.
Still, her Hollywood clients visit her for various reasons. “Some days, a client needs a beauty treatment for a red carpet occasion, and other days they may come in for back pain treatment with acupuncture. I’ve become a one-stop shop for health and beauty,” she tells Us.
Keep scrolling to uncover what attracts celebrities to the holistic healer’s Sherman Oaks office and how you can experience celebrity-quality care at home with her products.
The Painless Minifacelift
No needles needed! Byun’s non-invasive Salmon DNA PDRN Signature Treatment is a pre-red-carpet favorite, known for its immediate “glass skin glow” and firming effects. It employs a non-invasive application of PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), derived from salmon DNA. “It stimulates your natural collagen and elastin production from within,” she states.
Coveted Body Treatments
Celebrities seek Byun for two comprehensive therapies that help achieve core yin-yang balance. “Acupuncture works by clearing the body’s energy pathways, called meridians, to restore balance and alleviate symptoms such as pain, fatigue, or stress,” she explains. “Cupping encourages circulation while helping to eliminate toxins and inflammation, making it excellent for relieving tension and enhancing energy.”
Custom Herbal Formulas
“[They] are truly the essence of my practice, and what I’m most recognized for,” Byun reveals to Us about her custom blends infused with traditional medicinal herbs (like astragalus root and ginseng) that yield natural and lasting benefits. While her Weight Loss Cleanse and Detox Cleanse are the most sought after, she also addresses other health concerns, including migraines, arthritis, and fertility challenges.
PDRN Glow Spray
“[It’s] like a facial in a bottle,” Byun says. Formulated with salmon DNA-derived PDRN, niacinamide, and hydrolyzed collagen, this mist hydrates, calms inflammation, and enhances a natural glow. Mist it on anytime to refresh dull skin.
PDRN Hydro Moisturizer
“This is the exact cream I use in my signature facials,” she shares about the lightweight formula, ideal for application right after the PDRN Glow Spray. Enriched with salmon DNA-derived PDRN, snail mucin, and centella asiatica, it “offers deep hydration, aids in rebuilding the skin barrier, and supports long-term collagen repair.”
V-Sculptor
“Many of my celebrity clients use it to maintain results between visits and prepare for red carpet appearances,” Byun mentions of her premium microcurrent device, “designed to tighten and tone the skin, reduce puffiness, and enhance the absorption of skincare products applied underneath.” This contouring gadget can be used on the scalp, face, neck, and body as an effective tool for lymphatic drainage.
