The application of Chinese medicine to improve skin quality has a long history, with relevant records dating back to the ‘Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine’. Through the use of Chinese medicines and acupuncture treatment, the skin’s condition is enhanced to achieve the effects of blemish reduction, mark reduction, skin firming and hair growth.

Chinese medicine believes that ‘The health problems internally will be manifested externally.’ Therefore, skin problems can be solved by treating the root cause of the health problems. Chinese medicine mainly uses methods such as oral and external Chinese medicine and acupuncture to comprehensively improve the body constitution and local skin to improve the skin condition.

To promote the unique advantages and effectiveness of Chinese medicine treatment for  enhancing skin condition among the general public, CUHK Chinese Medicine Clinics (CUSCM Clinics) are launching the ‘Chinese Medicine Treatment for Skin Condition Improvement Program’, offering individualized Chinese medicine treatment services. Details as follow:

Program Features:
