HOLISTIC TCM DERMATOLOGY
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Dermatology is one of the oldest medical specialties in the world, dating back to 300-200 BCE. Over thousands of years, we have developed an incredibly refined system of diagnosing skin diseases, understanding disease processes, and administering treatment to restore the body and the skin back to a state of harmony.
We recognize that skin diseases are often the result of internal imbalances. As such, internal herbal medicine is the primary treatment method. This is often supplemented by topical herbal medicine, acupuncture, and LED light therapy.
Many skin conditions respond very well to Chinese medicine.

"Just wanted to check in and let you know that J****'s neck looks amazing with no hint that there was ever a skin issue! Our previous dermatology experience to treat the eczema on my son's neck and chest had left us hopeless and frustrated. Dr. Lisabeth was amazing- professional, knowledgeable and caring. I am not sure he would have tried or even completed treatment had it not been for her patience and reassurance. Thank you for such positive experience!"
