Despite the proven effectiveness of modern medicine in the treatment of skin diseases, some skin pathologies require more specific treatments. In this field, traditional Chinese medicine has proven to be an innovative and effective therapeutic option to relieve the pain and symptoms of skin diseases.
Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese method, involves stimulating specific points on the body with fine, sterilized needles to restore energy balance. This practice can be effective in treating various dermatological conditions such as skin allergies, autoimmune diseases, scalp diseases, bullous conditions and wound healing problems.
Several scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture applied to dermatology. Results have shown that this practice can reduce pain, inflammation, itching and redness in patients with skin conditions. Acupuncture can also increase collagen production and improve skin vascularization, thereby promoting wound healing.
Acupuncture is also effective in relieving the symptoms of skin diseases such as atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis and skin allergies. Stimulation of acupuncture points relieves itching and redness, improves blood circulation and stimulates the immune system. Acupuncture has also shown positive results in the treatment of rarer skin conditions such as psoriasis and urticaria.
It can also be beneficial for patients with certain other skin diseases. Acupuncture can be used alone or in conjunction with other dermatological treatments such as phototherapy, lasers or topical therapy.
It can also be used before or after dermatological surgery to improve healing and reduce the risk of infection. Acupuncture cannot treat cancer or any other serious illness, but it can help the body repair itself.
Patients with severe skin diseases should also consult a dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and the choice of treatment best suited to their specific pathology.
In conclusion, acupuncture is an effective therapeutic alternative for the treatment of certain skin diseases. It can relieve the symptoms of the most common skin conditions, improve healing and stimulate the immune system.
