WE FOCUS ON LONG-TERM SKIN HEALTH THAT GOES BEYOND THE SURFACE.
In TCM, the skin is seen as a mirror of internal health, reflecting imbalances in areas like digestion, immunity or emotional well-being.
Understanding skin issues through this lens allows for more targeted, holistic care. Whether you’re dealing with eczema, acne or chronic inflammation, addressing the root cause helps restore balance from within and supports lasting skin health.
In Western medicine, skin problems are often categorised by visible symptoms such as redness, dryness or inflammation. Conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis are typically attributed to infections, genetics or environmental factors. Treatments usually involve topical applications like creams or ointments, and in more severe cases, oral medications such as antibiotics, antihistamines or steroids. The focus is primarily on relieving symptoms to restore the skin’s appearance.
In TCM, the skin is viewed as a window into the body’s internal health. Skin issues are often linked to deeper imbalances in the body’s organ systems, Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang. For example, acne might be related to excessive heat or dampness in the Lungs or Stomach, while eczema could be due to deficiencies in Blood or an imbalance in the Liver. Instead of treating only the surface symptoms, TCM focuses on restoring balance within the body through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle adjustments, ensuring that skin health reflects overall well-being.
Rather than treating it as an isolated organ, TCM considers skin health to be closely tied to the balance of Qi, Blood, and the proper function of organs such as the Lungs, Liver and Spleen. Disruptions in this internal balance can lead to symptoms like inflammation, dryness, or persistent skin conditions.
Healthy skin relies on the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood. When Qi or Blood becomes stagnant or deficient, skin health suffers. For instance, poor Qi circulation can trap internal heat, leading to acne, while insufficient Blood often results in dry, pale, or flaky skin.
Skin disorders like acne or eczema are often attributed to internal heat, dampness, or a combination of both. Heat conditions may arise from emotional stress, an unbalanced diet, or lifestyle habits that lead to an overactive Liver or Stomach. Dampness, on the other hand, is linked to poor digestion and excess moisture in the body, manifesting as oily skin, cystic acne, or fungal infections.
Whether you’re managing eczema, acne or other chronic skin concerns, our TCM treatments focus on restoring internal balance to improve skin health from within. By addressing the root causes, we aim to reduce flare-ups, support healing and strengthen your skin’s natural defences.
Combined with tech-enhanced therapies, our approach offers a comprehensive way to relieve symptoms and support lasting, visible results.
Acne typically appears on the face, chest or back, and is often linked to excess Heat, Dampness or Qi stagnation in the Lungs, Stomach or Liver. Stress, hormonal fluctuations or a diet high in greasy or spicy foods can aggravate internal imbalances and trigger breakouts.
TREATMENTS
Our treatments focus on clearing internal Heat, regulating Qi and expelling Dampness to restore internal balance. This may include herbal medication tailored to specific organ imbalances, acupuncture to promote Blood circulation and reduce inflammation, and dietary adjustments to reduce internal Heat and Dampness.
Tech-enhanced therapies such as Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) and Cell Pro Therapy (CPT) are used to aid detoxification, accelerate skin repair and improve treatment outcomes.
Eczema presents as dry, itchy and inflamed skin. It is often caused by Wind-Heat or Damp-Heat trapped in the body, combined with deficiencies in Blood and Yin, which lead to poor skin nourishment. Stress, allergens, and a weak digestive system can worsen the condition.
TREATMENTS
Our treatment focuses on nourishing Blood, clearing Heat, and expelling Dampness, for both symptom relief and lasting improvement. We combine traditional and modern approaches, typically utilising topical creams for moisturising and itch relief, acupuncture to promote deeper healing, and personalised herbal medication formulated to strengthen the Spleen and digestive function.
Tech-enhanced therapies such as Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) enhances lymphatic drainage, helping to eliminate toxins and reduce skin inflammation, while Cell Pro Therapy (CPT) boosts cellular metabolism and regeneration, accelerating the healing process of affected areas.
Signs of ageing such as dull skin, wrinkles and sagging are often associated with Qi deficiency, and poor blood circulation. Yin deficiency and internal Dampness can also lead to imbalances that affect the skin’s resilience and appearance.
TREATMENTS
Our treatments are designed to strengthen skin vitality by nourishing Qi and Blood, enhancing circulation and regulating Yin and Yang. We often use Facial Acupuncture to support skin elasticity and promote overall rejuvenation. Customised herbal medications are also prescribed to address underlying imbalances to improve skin health from within.
Psoriasis typically presents as scaly, itchy patches.
Shingles can appear as painful, blistering rashes.
Dermatitis and hives often present with redness, swelling and itching.
In TCM, these conditions often stem from Heat Toxins, Wind-Damp Invasion or Blood Heat. Emotional stress, immune imbalances and weakened organ function can also trigger or worsen flare-ups.
TREATMENTS
Our treatments aim to expel Wind, clear Heat and eliminate Toxins, while nourishing the Blood and supporting organ function. Depending on your condition, our physicians may prescribe herbal medicine, acupuncture or moxibustion to calm inflammation and promote healing. Dietary guidance may also be given to reduce internal Heat and Dampness.
Tech-enhanced therapies such as Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) and Cell Pro Therapy (CPT) are often integrated to accelerate recovery by improving lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation and supporting skin regeneration.

SUCCESS STORIES
The timeline for visible improvements varies depending on the severity of the condition and individual response to treatment. Some patients notice changes within a few sessions, while others may require several weeks of consistent treatments. TCM focuses on treating the root cause, so long-term results typically develop as the body’s internal balance is restored.
Unlike conventional treatments that target the symptoms, TCM looks at the body holistically. Skin issues are seen as signs of internal imbalances in organs like the Liver, Lungs, or Spleen, as well as imbalances in Qi and Blood circulation. TCM uses acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle adjustments to address these underlying causes, which leads to improved skin health from within.
