Acne

Acne is a common skin condition affecting both teenagers and adults, often triggered by hormonal imbalances, stress, or digestive issues that create persistent breakouts and skin inflammation. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat acne from the inside out, addressing both visible symptoms and underlying root causes to achieve clear, healthy skin naturally and sustainably.

Understanding the Root Cause

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acne is typically associated with Heat, Dampness, and Toxin accumulation, often linked to imbalances in the Lung, Stomach, and Liver systems affecting skin health. Hormonal fluctuations, chronic stress, and dietary factors can further aggravate these patterns and lead to persistent skin breakouts and inflammation.

Our Personalised Treatment Approach

Our approach combines:

Herbal Medicine: Clear heat and regulate hormones internally

Acupuncture: Reduce inflammation and balance organ systems

Topical Applications: Reduce redness and prevent scarring naturally

Evidence & Clinical Studies

Research supports TCM's effectiveness for acne, with studies showing acupuncture reduces inflammation while herbal formulas effectively clear heat and restore internal balance.
Key References:

Acupuncture significantly reduces inflammation and alleviates acne-related redness and irritation (Zhao et al., 2021)

Chinese herbal medicine networks effectively treat acne by addressing multiple pathways simultaneously (Li et al., 2015)
