Expert Chinese Medical Dermatology in Oakland
At Oakland Hills Acupuncture, our Chinese Medicine Dermatology services provide safe, natural, and personalized care for chronic skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, acne, and more.
For over a thousand years, Chinese Medicine has offered time-tested methods for diagnosing and managing skin conditions by addressing root imbalances inside the body — not just masking visible symptoms. This holistic approach helps restore healthier skin from within.
Why Choose Chinese Medical Dermatology?
Why settle for treatments that only cover up visible signs? We offer **personalized, low-risk herbal medicine plans** tailored to your specific skin concerns. This holistic method supports your body’s natural healing, often with fewer side effects than conventional options.
Our passion for Dermatology using Chinese Medicine comes from seeing firsthand how effective and empowering it can be for patients seeking real, lasting results.
How Does Treatment Work?
Chinese Medical Dermatology requires active participation:
– Drink prescribed herbal teas or decoctions twice daily
– Apply herbal ointments if needed
– Attend follow-up visits for progress checks and adjustments
This commitment helps us target the root cause of your condition, not just the flare-ups.
