Holistic dermatology through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at your skin as a reflection of your internal health — not just a surface problem to suppress. Rather than managing symptoms with topical medications, we work to uncover and address the root cause of your skin condition from within, using time-tested natural therapies. This approach is especially valuable for chronic or recurring conditions where conventional treatments have only offered temporary relief.

We specialize in natural, holistic solutions for chronic and inflammatory skin diseases, including:

Eczema (atopic dermatitis, pompholyx, nummular eczema, etc), Psoriasis, Acne, Rosacea, Perioral dermatitis, HSV (Herpes Simplex), Lichen Planus, and more

We can often help even when other natural and pharmaceutical therapies have not worked. Most patients see noticeable improvement within 2–3 weeks of beginning treatment.

No — skin cancer screenings and mole checks are outside our scope of practice. If you have concerns about a suspicious mole, lesion, or potential skin cancer, please see a licensed dermatologist or your primary care provider. We are happy to work alongside your conventional medical team once a diagnosis has been established.

Our toolkit is rooted in TCM and integrative natural medicine. Services include:

Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Nutritional counseling, Red light therapy, Microneedling, Cupping & Gua Sha, E-stim / microcurrent, Dietary & lifestyle guidance

Treatment plans are always customized to your individual health history, constitution, and goals.

To help set clear expectations, here is what falls outside our practice:

Injections (Botox, fillers, etc.), Invasive cosmetic procedures, Peptide therapy, Prescription medications, Skin cancer screenings

We are a natural and holistic practice. If any of the above are needed, we are glad to refer you to the appropriate provider.

Yes — we see patients of all ages, including newborns, infants, children, and adults.

Herbal formulas and dietary guidance are often especially effective for infants and children.

Yes, and many patients do exactly that. TCM works well alongside conventional medical care in most cases. We are happy to work with your existing treatment team and communicate with other providers as needed. Our goal is your best possible outcome — whatever that looks like for you.

Your first visit is a comprehensive intake — we take time to understand your full health history, skin concerns, diet, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing. From there, a personalized treatment plan is created that may include acupuncture, herbal prescriptions, nutritional guidance, and any other therapies suited to your needs. We believe lasting results come from treating the whole person, not just the skin.

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within 2–3 weeks of beginning treatment. Complete resolution of chronic skin conditions is a gradual process, but consistent progress is typical. Acute conditions may respond even faster — sometimes within 1–2 sessions. During follow-up visits we reassess and adjust your plan as your skin heals and changes.
