Treatable Conditions

Skin Problems
Skin conditions can affect both physical comfort and emotional well-being. Visible concerns like acne, eczema, and psoriasis may impact confidence and daily life. At Han’s Clinic, we take a holistic approach using Eastern medicine to support skin health naturally.

Acne

What is Acne?
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, or bacteria, leading to pimples, blackheads, or cysts. It can be influenced by hormonal changes, stress, diet, and genetics.
Common Symptoms
  • Red, swollen pimples or cysts
  • Blackheads or whiteheads
  • Dark spots or temporary scarring after breakouts

Eczema

What is Eczema?
Eczema refers to various inflammatory skin conditions that cause redness, itching, and irritation. The most common type is atopic dermatitis, which often affects the hands, face, and inner elbows or knees. Other types include contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular eczema.
Common Symptoms
  • Persistent itching and inflamed skin
  • Dry, cracked, or scaly patches
  • Thickened skin over time
  • Occasional blisters or oozing
While symptoms may be influenced by allergens, irritants, or stress, a personalized approach can help manage discomfort.

Psoriasis

What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a condition in which the immune system causes skin cells to regenerate too quickly, leading to thick, scaly patches. It can occur on various parts of the body, such as the scalp, elbows, and knees.
Common Symptoms
  • Raised, red patches with silvery scales
  • Itching or burning sensations
  • Dry, cracked skin that may be prone to irritation

Urticaria (Hives)

What is Urticaria?
Urticaria, or hives, appear as red, itchy welts that can vary in size and shape. They may be triggered by allergens, stress, or environmental factors.
Common Symptoms
  • Raised, red welts on the skin
  • Itching or tingling sensation
  • Temporary swelling in certain areas
While mild cases may resolve on their own, chronic hives may require ongoing management.

Burns & Wounds

What Are Burns & Wounds?
Burns and wounds can result from heat, chemicals, or physical trauma. The severity can range from mild redness to deeper tissue damage.
Common Symptoms
  • Red, inflamed, or blistered skin (burns)
  • Pain, swelling, or bleeding (wounds)
  • Possible scarring as healing progresses

Skin Allergies

What Are Skin Allergies?
Skin allergies occur when the immune system reacts to certain substances, such as food, cosmetics, or insect bites.
Common Symptoms
  • Itchy, red rash
  • Localized swelling or hives
  • Dry or flaky skin

How Eastern Medicine May Support Skin Health

At Han’s Clinic, we use natural and minimally invasive approaches to help maintain skin balance and support the body’s healing processes.
Herbal Medicine
Traditional herbal formulations have been used to support skin health by promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. Some ingredients, such as Astragalus, have been traditionally used to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, while Coptis has been recognized for its antimicrobial and soothing properties.
Acupuncture & Facial Acupuncture
Acupuncture may support circulation and help reduce inflammation. Facial acupuncture, in particular, is often incorporated into skincare routines to promote skin renewal and balance.
Aqua Peel for Acne-Prone Skin
Aqua Peel is a deep-cleansing and hydrating method that gently removes dead skin cells and excess oil. Some individuals find this beneficial when combined with other skin care treatments.
Eastern medicine takes an individualized approach, aiming to restore internal balance for overall skin health.

Important Notice: Herbal medicine and medical therapies should be used under the guidance of a licensed practitioner. Self-prescribing herbal remedies or using medical devices without professional supervision may lead to unintended effects. Always consult a qualified Eastern medicine practitioner for a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan.

Patient Experience (Individual results may vary)

"I have dealt with sensitive skin since childhood, experiencing both improvements and temporary setbacks over time. After incorporating herbal care into my routine, I noticed gradual changes in my skin’s overall health. The process required patience, but I appreciated the ongoing support and guidance."
