Acne

Acupuncture treats acne

The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine fights acne with fantastic results. I also use dietary therapy as part of an acne treatment plan. Results don’t come overnight (more like one to three months after starting treatment), but when you get results they will last. This is a stark difference from what you’ll get with  Western treatments, which usually allows acne symptoms to come back when you stop treatment.

What causes acne?

Western medicine theory

  • Plugged or clogged hair follicles.
  • Dead skin cells
  • Make up and oils on the skin mix together to create plugs in the follicles

TCM theory

  • Heat, Dampness and Toxins build up in the skin to cause pimples, blackheads and acne cysts
  • Improper diet, emotions, hormonal changes and other lifestyle factors.
