RECOVERY BEYOND SKINCARE

Recovery begins with understanding what changed.

For many people, the skin is where the story becomes visible.

It may not be where the story began.

A recovery research approach beyond skincare.

Recovery doesn't happen in one place.

Qi Again looks at the full picture — how structure, function, daily habits, environment, and stress can interact over time. Not every situation has a single cause, and not every path to recovery follows the same direction.

Meet the Founder

Sue Roh is the Founder of Qi Again and the developer of the Qi Again Recovery Framework. Her work began with a simple question: what if what we see on the surface is only part of the picture?

Her studies and observations led her to look beyond isolated symptoms and consider the broader context in which change occurs — including structure, function, daily patterns, and environment.

That question became the foundation of Qi Again: look more broadly, understand what changed, and find where recovery might begin.
