Treating Acne without Accutane
In Chinese medicine we recognize that acne and other inflammatory skin diseases are symptoms of internal heat and dampness. For a treatment to be effective and long term it has to address the source of acne. To eliminate acne, the excess heat and dampness must be drained from your body and this is achieved through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition. The external treatments work to correct the damage caused by the acne. Modern day products such as Pro-Active, topical and oral antibiotics and other aggressive chemical treatments do not address the cause of the acne problem which results in a temporary solution. Using antibiotic based creams and taking oral antibiotics long term comes with health risks. To get your acne under control you need to eat the right foods, avoid the wrong foods, use chemical free skincare products and receive safe and effective skin procedures such as acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture, LED, micro current and photo rejuvenation.
