Understanding Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach to treat acne, involving dermatologists and aestheticians to provide both medical and cosmetic solutions.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Skin Analysis: Using high-resolution imaging to assess severity.
- Hormone Testing: To identify hormonal imbalances causing acne.
- Bacterial Culture: To determine antibiotic sensitivity.
- Sebum Measurement: To evaluate oil production levels.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve topical medications, oral medications, laser therapy, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to restore skin health.
- Topical Treatments: Retinoids, antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide.
- Oral Medications: Antibiotics, birth control pills, and isotretinoin.
- Laser Therapy: To reduce inflammation and scarring.
- Integrative TCM: Herbal formulas and acupuncture to balance internal systems.
