Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers physical, emotional and environmental factors of the patient when treating skin problems. According to TCM, the three major organs that cause bad skin are the lung, which is in charge of the skin, the stomach, can lead to greasy oily skin, and the spleen which can also lead to greasy skin and acne. Stress and poor diet can cause disharmonies within these organs, thus influencing poor skin conditions. Acupuncture, sometimes accompanied by natural topical products, nutritional and exercise programs, Chinese herbs and/or other natural supplements, is an effective treatment for skin conditions including aging, acne, eczema and rosacea to name a few.

Acupuncture Face Lift

Cosmetic acupuncture, non-surgical face lift and facial rejuvenation are all the many ways for describing the acupuncture face lift, a unique, non-surgical procedure, which revitalizes your face. Facial acupuncture and herbal treatments including anti aging supplements and anti aging vitamins, can help make your skin look younger and healthier by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that tighten the skin. This non-surgical procedure can also be used to treat the abdomen to assist with weight loss or tighten the skin after pregnancy. Dr. Klearman recommends starting the treatments when you are in your 30s or 40s to get the best results.

Dr. Klearman recommends 10 consecutive treatments during which she uses acupuncture, topical herbal facial products and facial massage to stimulate the best results. She also educates on proper skin care, and inspires to make good decisions about nutrition for your skin and your overall health.

Many patients report positive “extra” benefits with this procedure. Increased energy, improved quality of sleep, and better digestion are common side effects. Three different protocols are available:

• Upper Face: targets lines on the forehead and around the eyes
• Lower Face: lifts and tightens sagging skin around the jaw and smoothes lines around the mouth
• Abdomen: tightens loose skin that is so common following pregnancy, and can facilitate the loss of inches when used in conjunction with a weight loss program.

Natural Acne Treatment

Dr. Klearman begins an acne treatment with an in-depth evaluation that considers the tongue, skin, pulse and lifestyle of the patient. In addition to establishing a more precise acupuncture treatment program focusing on the most effective body parts that will effectively treat the acne, each treatment is also tailored to fit the patient’s skin care needs using traditional Chinese medicine methods such as Chinese herbs, diet, and other natural acne remedies.
