Acupuncture for Skin Health: A Natural Approach to Radiant Skin
May 3, 2025

Your skin is more than just a protective barrier—it reflects your internal health and balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and premature aging are often signs of imbalances within the body. Acupuncture offers a natural, holistic approach to improving skin health by addressing these imbalances at their root.



At Lotus Acupuncture & Wellness, we use acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary recommendations to restore the body's balance and promote healthy, glowing skin from the inside out.

How Does Acupuncture Help with Skin Conditions?

Acupuncture enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports the body's natural detoxification process. Instead of just treating symptoms, it works to:


Regulate hormones – Balancing the endocrine system helps reduce hormonal acne, breakouts, and skin flare-ups.


Improve blood flow – Better circulation nourishes the skin, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged or inflamed areas.


Reduce inflammation – Acupuncture helps calm the immune response, making it effective for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.


Support detoxification – The Liver and Kidneys play a key role in eliminating toxins; acupuncture enhances their function, helping to clear breakouts and skin irritation.


 Promote collagen production – Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity.

Common Skin Conditions Acupuncture Can Treat

🌿 Acne & Breakouts – Reduces inflammation, regulates hormones, and prevents future breakouts.
🌿
Eczema & Psoriasis – Calms redness, itching, and irritation while supporting the immune system.
🌿
Rosacea – Improves circulation, reduces redness, and strengthens blood vessels.
🌿
Aging & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production, improves skin tone, and reduces fine lines.
🌿
Hyperpigmentation & Scarring – Encourages skin regeneration and evens out skin tone.

What to Expect During Acupuncture for Skin Health

At Lotus Acupuncture & Wellness, we take a personalized approach to skin health. Your acupuncturist will evaluate your condition, ask about diet, stress levels, digestion, and sleep patterns, and then create a customized treatment plan.


Facial & Body Acupuncture – Tiny, sterile needles are placed in specific acupuncture points to stimulate healing and circulation.


Herbal Medicine & Supplements – Certain Chinese herbs help detoxify the skin and balance hormones.


Lifestyle & Dietary Adjustments – Nutritional guidance to help support clear, healthy skin.


 Gua Sha & Facial Cupping – These techniques promote lymphatic drainage and reduce puffiness for a glowing complexion.

The Role of Diet in Skin Health

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the foods you eat can directly impact your skin. Here are some skin-friendly TCM dietary tips:



🍵 Drink warm water & herbal teas – Supports digestion and detoxification.
🥦
Eat whole, unprocessed foods – Reduces inflammation and supports skin healing.
🌰
Incorporate healthy fats – Omega-3-rich foods like walnuts, flaxseeds, and salmon nourish the skin.
Avoid dairy, sugar, and fried foods – These can trigger inflammation and breakouts.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Skin conditions are often chronic and require ongoing care. Most patients see noticeable improvements within 6–10 weekly sessions, after which treatments can be spaced out. Long-term maintenance with seasonal acupuncture sessions helps keep skin clear and healthy.

Sciatic pain, also known as sciatica , is a common condition that can cause sharp, burning pain, numbness, and tingling that radiates from the lower back down the leg . This pain occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes compressed or irritated , often due to herniated discs, muscle tension, or spinal misalignment . For many, sciatica can be debilitating , making it difficult to sit, stand, or walk comfortably. While pain medications and physical therapy are common treatments, acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free, and highly effective solution for relieving sciatic pain and promoting long-term healing.  At Lotus Acupuncture & Wellness , we specialize in treating sciatic nerve pain using acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, and integrative therapies to help you get back to a pain-free life.
