Restore Radiance with TCM Aesthetic Care
About Aesthetic (TCM)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, beauty is more than skin deep. The condition of the skin often reflects internal harmony of Qi, Blood, Yin & Yang, as well as the health of organs like the Spleen, Lung, and Kidney. TCM emphasizes nourishing the body from within, harmonizing internal systems, and promoting skin renewal in a balanced way.
Recent scientific reviews have begun to explore how bioactive compounds from TCM herbs can contribute to skin repair, anti-oxidation, and barrier recovery. For instance:
A review titled “Insights from Traditional Chinese Medicine for Restoring Skin Barrier” describes how TCM active ingredients may help repair a damaged skin barrier, supporting skin’s protective functions. MDPI
Another review, “Potential Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Anti-Aging”, discusses how TCM may delay the progression of aging via antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cell-protective mechanisms. PMC
Thus, TCM in aesthetics works by combining internal regulation (herbs, diet, meridian support) and external care (facial massage, gua sha, topical botanicals), aiming for a more natural and balanced approach to skin health.

FAQ
How does TCM support skin aging and balance?
TCM views aging as the gradual decline in Qi, Blood, Yin & Yang. When these systems are out of harmony, signs like dryness, fine lines, pigmentation, and dullness may appear. Through herbs therapy, acupuncture, diet, and lifestyle adjustment, TCM aims to restore balance and bolster skin’s renewal capacity.
Are there scientific studies supporting TCM in skin / anti-aging?
Yes. For example, “Insights from Traditional Chinese Medicine for Restoring Skin Barrier” reviews evidence that TCM bioactive compounds can repair skin barrier function. MDPI Also, “A Systematic Review of Antiaging Effects of 23 Traditional Chinese Medicines” summarizes studies showing antioxidant and anti-aging potential of TCM herbs. PMC
What methods are typically used in TCM aesthetics?
Methods may include internal herbal formulas, facial acupuncture, facial gua sha , topical herbal infusions, and dietary / lifestyle guidance aligned with TCM principles.
How many sessions are needed to see results in aesthetic / skin balance?
It depends. Skin and aging concerns often take sustained care. Some may notice improved hydration, glow or softness after a few sessions, but deeper changes like reduction of pigmentation or firmness usually require a consistent course of treatment over weeks to months.
Do you provide any TCM-based skincare products?
No. We only provide TCM treatments such as acupuncture, gua sha, and other therapeutic methods. We do not sell skincare products.
Can I receive treatment if I have makeup?
We recommend removing makeup before treatment for the best results, especially for acupuncture or gua sha, as clean skin allows for better circulation and effectiveness. Practitioners can assist if needed.
Is there an age limit for TCM aesthetic care?
There is no strict age limit. Treatments can be adapted for different ages, and both women and men can benefit from TCM aesthetic care.
Will acupuncture leave marks or “holes” on the face? Will gua sha make my face very red?
Facial acupuncture uses extremely fine needles and does not leave permanent marks or “holes.” Gua sha may cause temporary redness or mild marks due to increased circulation, but these usually fade within hours to a few days. Both methods are generally safe when performed by qualified practitioners.
