About Acne
Acne is also known as pimples, zits, and acne vulgaris. The main reason why acne is so persistent despite treatments or medications is because conventional treatments focus on the surface of the skin alone.
According to Traditional Eastern Medicine, malignant acne eruptions are due to disruptions and stagnations of the skin-qi, which cause heat and toxins to accumulate, making acne germs to proliferate. And people with weaker immune system are more prone to skin infections. So by improving and removing the fundamental cause of acne, we work to prevent future flare-ups as well as treating the symptoms.
