Acupuncture for Skin Health
Skin is complex. It’s the body’s largest and most visible organ, and what we see on the surface often reflects what’s happening internally—from hormonal shifts to digestive health to stress. Breakouts, irritation, and inflammation frequently stem from underlying factors that are unique to each individual.
Through both personal experience and years of clinical practice, I’ve seen how effective acupuncture can be in treating skin concerns from an internal and topical perspective, especially when combined with targeted dietary, lifestyle, and skincare recommendations.
By addressing imbalances, regulating the nervous system, and strengthening the skin barrier, acupuncture offers a safe, natural alternative to harsh treatments that often do more harm than good. If you're looking for a gentle, whole-body approach to clearer, healthier skin, acupuncture can help.
At West End Acupuncture in Portland, Maine, we take a root-cause approach to treating a wide range of dermatological conditions, including acne, eczema, hair loss, and concerns related to skin aging and inflammation.
How Acupuncture Supports Skin
Acupuncture improves circulation, lymphatic flow, and collagen production, enhancing your skin's elasticity, hydration, and integrity. By helping regulate the nervous system, hormonal balance, digestion, and detoxification, acupuncture addresses the internal imbalances that often contribute to chronic or stress-related skin conditions.
When combined with customized topical recommendations, dietary guidance, and root-cause expertise, acupuncture becomes a powerful tool for helping transform how you look and feel about your skin.
