What Does TCM Dermatology Treat
TCM dermatology is a refined and holistic approach that treats skin conditions by addressing the underlying imbalances within the body. Practitioners use detailed diagnosis to identify patterns like excess heat, dampness or stagnation and prescribe customized herbal formulas, working at the root to reduce inflammation, clear toxins and support the skin’s natural renewal.
Because these balanced plant-based treatments correct internal imbalances rather than masking symptoms, they aim to provide lasting relief with fewer side effects than conventional therapies. As a gentle alternative to drugs and invasive procedures, TCM dermatology can bring long‑lasting improvements in chronic conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis and leave you with healthier skin and a deeper sense of well‑being. Experience the art of TCM dermatology and let your skin reflect the harmony within.

Schedule your free 15-minute consultation to find out how personalized herbal formulas and holistic care can support your unique skin concerns—from acne and eczema to psoriasis and more. No pressure, just answers.
Acne
Tailored herbal formulas and acupuncture clear heat and dampness and regulate hormones to reduce inflammation and balance sebum, helping calm breakouts and promote clearer skin.
Eczema
Steroid creams may seem to calm eczema quickly, but they often lead to a cycle of flare‑ups and fragile skin. TCM dermatology breaks that cycle with herbs and acupuncture, nourishing the skin from within and helping it heal more sustainably
Psoriasis
Herbs and acupuncture move stagnant blood and qi and clear heat and toxins, helping to ease thick plaques, reduce scaling and calm inflammation
Rosacea
Cooling herbs calm excess heat and stagnation, reducing flushing and visible blood vessels while supporting digestive balance.
Alopecia & Hair Loss
Nourishing herbal formulas and topicals improve circulation and strengthen hair follicles, supporting healthier hair growth.Vitiligo & Hypopigmentation
Herbs that nourish yin and blood and promote melanin production, combined with acupuncture, can help stabilize depigmented patches and support gradual repigmentation.
What to expect
We begin with an in‑depth conversation and examination to understand your skin and overall health. Once we identify your TCM pattern, we prescribe a customised herbal formula—decocted into easy‑to‑use packets—and may recommend herb‑based topical creams. You’ll follow this regimen for a few weeks and check in (virtually or in person) so we can adjust your treatment; many people notice improvements within days or weeks, and chronic conditions often respond over the first few months as your body’s own healing ability is restored with low rate of recurrence.
FAQs
-
TCM dermatology focuses on the root causes of skin disease — such as imbalances in heat, dampness, blood, or the immune system — rather than only suppressing symptoms. Herbs and acupuncture aim to restore internal balance so the skin can heal naturally.
-
No. Our treatments are based on customized Chinese herbal prescriptions (taken internally) and natural herbal topicals. These approaches can often help patients break free of the steroid cycle that damages skin over time.
-
This depends on the condition and how long it has been present. Some patients notice improvements in itching, redness, or sleep within a few days to weeks. Chronic conditions often need several months of consistent care to achieve lasting relief and low recurrence.

Yes. We use professional-grade herbs that are rigorously tested for safety and quality. Formulas are tailored to your body and condition, and we adjust them as your skin heals. Side effects are uncommon, especially compared to long-term use of steroids or immunosuppressants.

We frequently treat eczema, acne, psoriasis, perioral dermatitis, fungal infections, rosacea, hives, and other chronic or recurring skin conditions. Each case is approached individually with a custom prescription.
More About TCM Dermatology…
Your skin tells a story — about your health, your lifestyle, and sometimes the stress your body is under. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), skin disorders are not just surface problems; they’re signs of an imbalance deeper inside. That’s why we don’t just treat the rash or the itch — we work to understand what’s happening in your whole system.
At RAON, we use customized herbal medicine and gentle acupuncture to bring your body back into balance so your skin can begin to heal naturally. Instead of relying on steroids or creams that only suppress symptoms, TCM dermatology focuses on restoring harmony in your blood, digestion, and immune system. This often means longer-lasting relief with fewer flare-ups over time.
Whether you’re dealing with eczema, acne, psoriasis, or other stubborn skin concerns, we create a treatment plan that’s unique to you. Most patients find that as their skin improves, so do things like sleep, digestion, and overall energy — because your skin is connected to your whole body’s health.
