How Acupuncture Supports Skin Health Naturally

By Corinne Conry

Relief for Acne, Psoriasis, Eczema & Alopecia

Your skin is more than just a surface, it reflects your inner health, hormones, immune system, and even your stress levels. At the Acupuncture Center of Grand Rapids we often hear from patients struggling with chronic skin concerns like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and even hair loss from conditions like alopecia.

If you’ve tried creams, medications, or endless product swaps with little relief, you’re not alone. Some of these individuals have turned to acupuncture for a more natural and whole-body approach to skin health and seeing real results!

How Does Acupuncture Help the Skin?

Acupuncture works by improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and rebalancing internal systems like hormones and immunity. When your body is functioning in better harmony, the skin often responds in positive, visible ways. Here’s how acupuncture supports common skin conditions:

Acne: Hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and stress are common root causes of acne.

Acupuncture for Acne helps to:

● Support hormone regulation to reduce breakouts, especially hormonal acne
● Calm inflammation and promote faster healing of blemishes
● Lower stress levels that trigger or worsen flare-ups

Eczema: Eczema can feel like an endless cycle of itching, dryness, and flare-ups. It’s often tied to immune system imbalances and heightened stress responses. By addressing the internal triggers, we help create more lasting calm for reactive skin.

Acupuncture for Eczema helps:

● Soothe the immune system and reduce inflammation
● Strengthen the skin barrier from the inside out
● Reduce the frequency and intensity of flare-ups

Psoriasis: Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to build up too quickly, leading to red, scaly patches that may itch or crack.

Acupuncture for Psoriasis can help:

● Immune system regulation to reduce overactivity
● Improved blood flow to affected areas
● Decreased inflammation and stress hormones

Alopecia: Hair loss, especially from conditions like alopecia, can be emotionally distressing and difficult to treat. When combined with lifestyle and nutritional guidance, acupuncture is a gentle and powerful support in restoring hair health.

Acupuncture for Alopecia helps by:

● Encouraging blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles
● Reducing autoimmune triggers linked to hair loss
● Supporting the body’s natural hair growth cycle
