Dermatology

Skin issues are often long-standing and upsetting. Chinese medicine examines dermatological conditions from the inside out and uses integrated treatment therapies to find the root of the issue. A personalised treatment plan will look at everything from hormonal imbalances, digestive function and sleep issues – all of which are important factors in the health of your skin. Your treatment will also address your body and skin’s ability to heal and regenerate.

The practitioners at South Hobart Acupuncture have experience with assisting:

• Acne
• Rosacea
• Psoriasis
• Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema
• Seborrheic Dermatitis

A treatment pathway for a dermatological issue will usually take between 3-6 months depending on how long you have had the issue for and how severe it is.

When treating skin conditions we use the following modalities in a way that is personalised to each persons needs:

• Acupuncture – a holistic treatment that can assist with internal imbalances that lead to external breakouts.
• Herbal Creams + Washes – an ‘external’ treatment source to help sooth itching, nourish dryness and cracking and ease heat or irritation.
• Chinese Herbal Medicine – the ‘internal’ part of our treatment. A specific personalised herbal formula will be given to you throughout the course of your treatment.
• LED Light Therapy – non-invasive light therapy works at a cellular level to fight the effect of aging, acne, rosacea and inflammatory skin conditions.
• Cosmetic Acupuncture – a gentle and natural treatment method for facial rejuvenation.
