Beautiful skin from within
Cosmetic acupuncture and integrative dermatology treatments are designed to support healthy, resilient skin from the inside out.

Dr Frances Tobeck, combines traditional medicine, cosmetic acupuncture, and evidence-informed integrative care to support patients experiencing a variety of of skin concerns and conditions such as acne, rosacea, inflammatory skin conditions, sensitive skin, and premature skin ageing.
A whole body approach to skin health
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, the skin is viewed as a reflection of internal health. Rather than treating the skin in isolation, consultations explore the underlying patterns that may be contributing to inflammation, congestion, sensitivity, redness, or premature ageing.
Skin conditions can be influenced by digestive function, hormonal health, nervous system regulation, circulation, inflammation, sleep quality, stress physiology, and immune balance.
For this reason, consultations may explore areas such as:
Hormonal health and menstrual patterns
Digestive symptoms and gut health
Stress and nervous system regulation
Sleep quality and fatigue
Inflammation and immune health
Diet and lifestyle factors
Environmental and skincare triggers
This integrative approach allows treatment plans to support not only the appearance of the skin, but the broader internal systems that may be contributing to skin dysfunction.
Patients commonly seek treatment for: Hormonal acne, Adult acne, Rosacea, sensitive and reactive skin, Perimenopausal skin changes, Stress-related skin flare-ups, Facial tension and jaw clenching (TMJ Syndrome), and skin vitality and healthy ageing
Treatment plans are tailored to the individual and may include cosmetic acupuncture, body acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition support, and lifestyle recommendations where appropriate.
Skin Rejuvenation with Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture treatments are designed to support circulation, collagen stimulation, skin hydration, facial muscle relaxation, and overall skin vitality while maintaining a natural appearance.
The clinic takes a subtle and restorative approach to cosmetic acupuncture, focusing on healthy skin function, skin integrity, and long-term skin health rather than aggressive or overly invasive cosmetic treatments.
Integrative skin care consultations are offered by Dr Frances Tobeck in Melbourne as well as her Ballarat Clinic. Treatment packages are available for cosmetic acupuncture and herbal treatments after an initial skin consultation.
