Acne Management

At U TCM, we recognize that acne often reflects deeper internal imbalances. Our approach involves a comprehensive assessment of these underlying issues through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. By addressing the root causes, our physicians aim to harmonize internal health, positively impacting skin conditions such as acne, eyebags, rashes, and hair loss. We focus on enhancing blood circulation and detoxifying the body to support skin recovery and overall health.

Holistic Acne Management

Acne is not just a superficial problem but an indicator of internal imbalances such as excess heat, dampness, or qi stagnation. Our TCM treatments for acne include:

Herbal Medicine: Customized formulas targeting various acne types and underlying causes. These herbal blends work to clear heat, resolve dampness, and improve overall skin health.

Acupuncture: Stimulates blood circulation and detoxification, reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing. Acupuncture can also help regulate hormonal imbalances that often contribute to acne.

Cupping Therapy: Enhances blood flow and removes toxins from the body, which can help reduce acne severity.

Dietary Therapy: Recommends avoiding heat-aggravating foods and focuses on a skin-nourishing diet. Foods rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties are emphasized to support skin health.

Comprehensive Skin Benefits

In addition to acne management, our TCM treatments can help:

Whiten pale spots

Shrink pores

Reduce skin inflammation and acne scars

Why Choose TCM Over Conventional Treatments?

Conventional treatments often involve external creams, pharmaceutical drugs, or injectable medications, which can lead to side effects and toxin build-up. TCM, on the other hand, addresses both the root causes and branch symptoms of a condition to restore a healthy balance to the body. This holistic approach ensures long-term benefits without the adverse effects associated with conventional treatments.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every individual has a unique physical constitution. Therefore, we recommend arranging a consultation with our practitioners for a detailed diagnosis and corresponding treatment plan. This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the most effective care tailored to their specific needs.

Treatment for Acne

Acupuncture for Skin Health

Acupuncture involves stimulating meridian points to restore immunity and promote healing by enhancing blood flow to the skin. This technique is particularly beneficial for skin conditions exacerbated by emotional stress and anxiety, helping to balance the body’s internal systems and improve overall skin health.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine offers a natural approach to skin care, using specific herbs to nourish and moisturize dry, flaky, and itchy skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. For conditions like acne and rosacea, certain herbs aid in detoxification and reduce inflammation. These herbal remedies can be taken orally as teas or pills, or applied externally as ointments or washes, providing versatile treatment options tailored to individual needs.

Nutrition

Diet plays a crucial role in managing skin conditions. Certain foods can trigger adverse reactions, worsening skin issues. It is advisable to avoid dairy, alcohol, and caffeine, among other potential irritants. A balanced diet rich in skin-friendly nutrients can support overall skin health and complement other TCM treatments.

At U TCM, we integrate these therapies to provide a holistic approach to skin health, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of skin conditions. Our personalized treatment plans ensure that each patient receives care tailored to their unique needs, promoting long-term skin health and overall well-being.
