How does TCM help cosmetic concerns?
Each of these methods plays a unique role in promoting skin health, rejuvenation and balance.
TCM goes beyond surface-level treatment by addressing the root causes and health problems that may be causing cosmetic concerns. Whether you struggle with acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or wrinkles, our Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner delves deep to provide comprehensive solutions.
By targeting the underlying imbalances within the body, we aim to achieve lasting results that enhance your natural beauty.
TCM treats you from the inside out, creating a youthful, healthy complexion and your body is in prime health so cosmetic procedures are more effective and recovery easier
Cosmetic acupuncture and facial acupressure:
- Brings chi (energy) and blood to the area, promoting healing, balance and healthy skin.
- The needles in acupuncture increase circulation to that area to reduce inflammation.
- Restores balance to facial muscles, minimises appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Can reduce the appearance of a double chin by tightening the muscles in the chin and jaw area.
- Prolongs the effectiveness of facelifts through healthy circulation, reduced inflammation and stimulating elastin and collagen production.
- Addresses imbalances in the body for improved digestion and immunity, which enhances your overall well-being and appearance.
- Carries nutrients to cells, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- This improves the skin’s elasticity and firmness for a youthful appearance and can also reduce the appearance of acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation.
- Reduces stress levels.
Herbal Medicine
- Restores balance and harmony, for health inside out.
- Uses natural ingredients for a gentle., natural approach to healing.
- Can reduce inflammation, detoxify the skin and promote cellular regeneration to improve the appearance of rosacea, hyperpigmentation and eczema.
Cupping
- The suction created by the cups expands blood vessels, facilitating the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin and underlying tissues for healthy, rejuvenated skin.
- Cupping draws toxins and impurities to the surface of the skin where they can be eliminated.
- The suction stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting detoxification and reducing tissue congestion.
- The suction and gentle pulling sensation can be soothing, promoting relaxation and reducing muscle stiffness.
- It may reduce the appearance of cellulite, as the suction and manipulation of the cups can break down fat cells and stimulate lymphatic drainage for smoother looking skin.
Gua Sha
- Gua sha increases blood circulation to the face by scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool (usually jade). This promotes a healthy glow and improves skin tone.
- Improves lymphatic drainage to remove toxins and waste products from your skin and underlying tissues for clearer skin.
- Removes dead skin cells.
- The increased blood flow to your face brings vital nutrients and oxygen to your skin for a glowing complexion.

Frequently asked questions
Read through the FAQ section to find more answers on TCM and how it can help you.
What is TCM?
TCM, or oriental medicine, is a holistic approach to healthcare that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and other parts of the world. It encompasses various modalities, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, cupping, gua sha, and more. Chinese medical theory views the body as a whole, aiming to restore balance and harmony to promote optimal health and well-being.
Does Chinese medicine work?
TCM has been practiced for centuries and is believed to be effective in promoting health and treating various health conditions. Many people have reported positive outcomes and improved well-being from TCM. However, as with any form of healthcare, individual responses may vary, and results cannot be guaranteed.
What are the 6 TCM techniques?
The six TCM techniques are:
- Acupuncture: The insertion of thin needles at specific points on the body to stimulate Qi flow.
- Herbal Medicine: The use of herbs and natural substances to restore balance and treat various health conditions.
- Cupping: The placement of cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood circulation and alleviating pain.
- Gua Sha: The scraping of the skin with a smooth-edged tool to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension.
- Tui Na: A form of therapeutic massage that involves manipulating the body’s energy channels to promote healing.
- Moxibustion: The burning of dried herbs (usually mugwort) near specific acupuncture points to warm and stimulate the area.
Is Chinese medicine recognised in Australia?
Yes, TCM is recognised and regulated in Australia. The practice of TCM, including acupuncture and herbal medicine, is governed by the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA). Practitioners must meet certain standards and hold registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to practice legally.
What is considered Chinese herbal medicine?
Chinese herbal medicine involves the use of natural substances such as herbs, roots, flowers, and minerals to address health issues and promote well-being. These substances are often combined in specific formulas tailored to individual needs and conditions.
What is Chinese herbal medicine good for?
Chinese herbal medicine is used to address a wide range of health concerns, including digestive disorders, respiratory conditions, hormonal imbalances, musculoskeletal issues, skin problems, and emotional well-being. It aims to restore balance within the body and support the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
