TCM Physician Treatment for Acne in Singapore










Acne is most common in teenagers. Three out of ten teenagers have some acne. Western doctors believe that hormonal changes may be the cause of acne.

From my experience treating acne cases, I find that Chinese herbal medicine is very effective in the treatment of acne.  For normal acne cases, it normally takes about two to three months to get well. For severe acne cases, it may take a little longer. Together with acupuncture treatment, acne gets cured faster.

Basically, we treat from the inside (meaning inside of the body).  TCM believes that it is due to the “heatiness” of the lung and one must refrain from taking too much chilli, peanuts, chocolates and cold drinks. We also treat from the outside (meaning on the surface/face). We give them cream to apply on their face too. But more importantly, it is the Chinese medicine that clears the toxin in the body.

The difference in eczema and acne are:

Eczema
Acne
Dry skin
Oily skin
Itchy/Very itchy
Not itchy
Reddish and has no pus
Not so reddish and has pus
Appears on the body (especially on the limbs)
Appears on the face


One young man, age 27, came to see me for his acne. He told me that he was a singer and was working in a night club in Clarke Quay. He said he came from China. Before he came to Singapore, he never had acne. He said that as a singer, he must have a good appearance and he could not afford to have acne on his face. So, through his friend’s recommendation, he came to see me. I gave him one month’s supply of Chinese herbal medicine (in powder form). He took it faithfully. He came back again after he finished the medicine. His condition improved. I prescribed him another month of Chinese herbal medicine.  I told him that he should be well after this.  However, he came back again on the third month, telling me that his acne was all gone.  But occasionally, his face may pop out a few acnes especially if he drank more alcohol and ate many peanuts. He said he wanted to look good and wanted the acne to disappear completely from his face. Therefore, he wished to have another month of medicine. I prescribed him another month of medicine and he was well after that.

Besides him, there were many young boys and girls also came to see me for their acne.  They too wanted to look good. Most of them were working people in their twenties who could afford to pay for themselves. Only a few teenagers were brought in by their parents… these parents were concerned about their children’s looks.


Many acne/pimples sufferers come for acupuncture, especially the girls. They said after several treatments of acupuncture, acne seems to subside better and less "pop out". I always advise them not to squeeze the acne and let it "ripen" itself, then let out the pus. This way, the face is unlikely to have scars.  Many of my patients were not willing to let us take pictures of their acne.

We also do acupuncture for eye bags, wrinkles and rosacea. The cost for acupuncture is $30 to $45 per session.

We also do facial treatment which is $66 per session.  The facial treatment include cleansing, facial massage, taking out of black heads and finally facial mask for the face. (The above charges are subject to changes without notice).
