Dr Jenny Goh 

Founder of Doux Visage, Dr Goh Cosmeceutical, PhD in TCM  

by Billie Ooi-Ng Lean Gaik

“I want to research, study and improve because my patients deserve more accurate and comprehensive answers.”

Aristotle once said, ‘Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference’.  Dr Jenny Goh is the epitome of that quote in all manner of interpretation.  If we can package beauty, health and wellbeing in a universe, Dr Goh would be the master of that universe.

A child of hardship many years ago, she was one of four siblings that helped her parents run their family coffee shop in Sri Petaling, Malaysia, at the age of seven.  At a crossroad, after high school, she was torn between pursuing a career in the travel or beauty industry.    

She became a beauty therapist but  yearned to learn more. “When I flicked through my beauty course books I realised that this was what I liked – learning about anatomy, skin structure and its treatments. I Told myself – if I cannot be a doctor then I can be a skin doctor.”

A qualified acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner today, Dr Goh has garnered over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry since 1996 and 17 years in the field of TCM since 2003.  She received her PhD in TCM (Acupuncture) from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine with a focus on hormones, stroke, cancer, cardiovascular and skin disease in 2017 and is currently undertaking her second PhD in TCM (Chinese Medicine) with emphasis on cancer, dietetics and cardiovascular issues. “I firmly believe in addressing health issues internally and externally. To treat a person adequately, I must address the fundamentals behind each problem and not just treat the symptoms. That was how I conceived the idea of combining the best of both worlds, eastern and western therapies – to include TCM into regular facial, slimming and total body wellness. My clinical treatment Doux Visage® stemmed from this belief – the combination of eastern acupuncture with western modern technology for total body wellness.” .

An advocate of natural and self-healing, Dr Goh highly recommends acupuncture and chi balancing to achieve true beauty and wellness.  “I don’t believe in injections nor invasive surgery.  I believe in TCM because it is my heritage and I’ve studied and researched the subject extensively.  More than 5000 years of treatment cannot be wrong.  Now some western doctors are also endorsing acupuncture, chi and energy flow as alternative treatments.”  

Besides being published in the Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture Moxibution in 2015, Dr Goh also won the Star Outstanding Business Awards (SOBA) in 2016.  With all that success buzzing around her, she manages to stay grounded.  “I was very happy and excited but tried to remain calm and not be distracted from my work.”

Dr Goh is the SOBA AWARD WINNER 2016 (Most Promising Award for Doux Visage Sdn Bhd), 2017 (Female Entrepreneur of the Year)  and 2019 (Female Entrepreneur of the Year and Most Promising Award for Dr. Goh Cosmeceutical Sdn Bhd).

Her philosophy in life is simple and effective.  “Do things right.  Keep on learning.  Stay happy.  Don’t set impossible goals.  Go with the flow and more importantly – adjust and balance your chi before you have to seek treatment.”
