Acupuncture for Skin Health: A Holistic Approach to Clear, Radiant Skin

Healing Skin from the Inside Out with Chinese Medicine
Skin issues often go deeper than the surface. Whether you're dealing with acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or unexplained rashes, these conditions can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall well-being. At our clinic, we offer acupuncture for skin health as a natural and effective solution that addresses not only the symptoms but the internal imbalances causing them.

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat chronic and inflammatory skin conditions by promoting circulation, calming the immune response, and restoring balance to the body’s internal systems. Instead of suppressing skin symptoms with topical creams or medications, acupuncture works holistically—healing from within to support lasting improvements in skin clarity, tone, and resilience.

Understanding Skin Conditions in Chinese Medicine
In TCM, skin disorders are typically viewed as the result of internal disharmony—often involving the Lung, Liver, and Spleen organ systems, as well as imbalances in Qi, Blood, and Body Fluids. Factors such as Heat, Dampness, Toxicity, or Blood Deficiency can manifest on the skin in the form of inflammation, dryness, redness, itchiness, or breakouts.

Rather than focusing solely on the affected area, acupuncture seeks to uncover and treat the root cause of the imbalance. By improving digestion, regulating hormones, reducing inflammation, and clearing internal Heat or Dampness, we support the skin's natural ability to heal and regenerate.

Skin Issues We Commonly Treat with Acupuncture
Our personalized acupuncture treatments effectively support a wide range of acute and chronic skin conditions, including:

• Acne
  
  
• Rosacea
  
  
• Hives
  
  
• Psoriasis
  
  
• Eczema

Each case is unique, and our treatments are tailored to your constitution, lifestyle, and skin history to create the most effective healing strategy possible.

How Acupuncture Improves Skin Health
At your first session, we perform a detailed intake and use pulse and tongue diagnosis to identify internal imbalances. Acupuncture points are then chosen to support the organs and systems most connected to skin health—such as the Liver, Lungs, Spleen, and Kidneys—while also calming inflammation and improving circulation to the skin.

Acupuncture can help to regulate hormones and reduce breakouts. It calms the nervous system to reduce eczema and psoriasis flareups. Acupuncture improves circulation and lymphatic drainage to promote detoxification. It also supports gut health which is often linked to skin issues.

Combining Acupuncture with Holistic Skin Support
In addition to acupuncture, we may recommend Chinese herbal medicine to address internal imbalances, along with dietary and lifestyle guidance to support healing from the inside out. Herbal formulas can be customized to clear Heat, nourish the Blood, support detoxification, or regulate the gut—depending on your unique diagnosis.

For cosmetic concerns like acne scars, fine lines, or skin tone irregularities, we may offer facial acupuncture, gua sha, or cupping therapy to boost circulation, enhance collagen production, and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed depends on the type, severity, and duration of your skin condition. Most patients begin to see improvements within 4–8 sessions, with weekly appointments recommended in the beginning. Chronic or deeply rooted conditions may require more time for lasting changes to take hold. We monitor your progress closely and adjust the treatment plan as your skin responds.
