Milli-fire acupuncture therapy is a type of acupuncture therapy in which special metal needles are burned red and quickly inserted into parts of the human body or acupoints. The milli-fire needles are extremely thin, so the wound surface is extremely small, and it belongs to the category of minimally invasive medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. Fiorent fire needle combines the effects of "needle", "moxibustion" and "fire" in one body. It uses the method of acupuncture to stimulate meridian qi and directly reach the disease site. It uses the power of moxibustion to dispel cold and eliminate evil, reconcile qi and blood, and uses the power of fire to warm the meridians, unblock the meridians, and activate Yang and activate collaterals. It works mainly by improving subjective symptoms, restoring normal functions of pigment cells, necrosis and softening of non-neoplastic skin lesions, and regulating skin inflammatory reactions. Indications: Acute phase pain of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia, chronic eczema, vitiligo, chloasma, acne, folliculitis, flat warts, facial hormone-dependent dermatitis, psoriasis, etc. 2. Pricking and cupping is a common treatment method that combines pricking and cupping. It mainly uses the meridian theory and uses seven-star needles, three-edged needles or other lancet needles to prick bleeding at the corresponding acupoints or local affected areas to achieve the purpose of exorcising evil heat and evil spirits. At the same time, cupping is added to the bleeding area to increase the amount of bleeding to a certain amount and strengthen the ability to purge and purge blood stasis and toxins.By pricking blood, pricking and cupping can directly remove blood stasis, relieve heat, dredge meridians, promote qi and remove blood stasis, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases. It follows the principle of "whenever using acupuncture, it should be used to remove excess when it is deficient, to relieve excess when it is full, and to remove excess when it is stagnant". Indications: Herpes zoster, acne, vitiligo, eczema, prurigo, etc. 3. Thread embedding therapy. Acupoint catgut embedding therapy is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Special needles are used to bury absorbable surgical sutures into acupoints. The acupuncture, blood pricking, needle retention and needle embedding effects produced by the acupoint stimulation can achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases. The acupuncture sensation of soreness, swelling, numbness and heaviness produced by embedding catgut in acupuncture points is "deqi", and then the "qi reaches the disease site" by sensing along the meridians. Indications: It has unique advantages in the treatment of urticaria, acne, psoriasis, post-herpetic neuralgia, eczema, neurodermatitis, chloasma, seborrheic alopecia and other skin diseases. 4. Plum Blossom Acupuncture is a traditional acupuncture therapy. Through stimulation and penetration of the superficial skin, it can achieve the purpose of activating acupoints, dredging meridians, removing blood stasis and activating blood circulation, regulating qi, and regulating qi and blood of the organs. Modern medical research shows that acupuncture can stimulate nerve endings, activate neurons, and improve local microcirculation and nerve reflexes to restore normal functions.Indications: Used to treat alopecia areata, neurodermatitis, chronic eczema, prurigo, herpes zoster, PHN, etc. 5. Ear point pressure pill treatment: The ear is the gathering point of the Zongmai, and the ear has a close relationship with the internal organs and meridians. All the organs in the body have corresponding reaction points in the ear, that is, ear points. Paste Wangbuliuxing seeds or white mustard seeds on the corresponding ear points, and the diseases of the corresponding organs can be treated by pressing and stimulating. "Everything inside must be shaped by everything outside." The ear-point pressure pill treatment embodies the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine that "treating the outside must be based on the inside" when treating skin diseases. Indications: It is effective in sedating itching, analgesia, improving sleep, and enhancing the body's immunity. 6. Cotton-laying moxibustion refers to carefully unfolding the cotton fiber of the sanitary tampon ball to make it as thin as a cicada wing without any holes, and lay it flatly on the surface of the diseased skin. The size should be just right to cover the skin lesion. After igniting, the cotton fiber will burn quickly, and the heat will pass in a flash, and the patient will have a slight burning sensation. This moxibustion method can act on large-area skin lesions, activate blood circulation and dissipate stagnation, pull out stagnation of poison, so that the poison gas disperses with the fire gas. It can also remove dampness and convergence, reduce swelling and relieve itching, and promote dryness and scabbing of the skin lesions. Indications: Mostly used for flat warts, eczema, urticaria, skin trauma infections, psoriasis, etc.7. Autohemotherapy Autohemotherapy refers to collecting the patient’s own venous blood, and then injecting the patient’s blood or mixing the blood and drugs into acupoints according to the patient’s disease. When blood is injected into acupuncture points, it specifically stimulates the body to produce its own antibodies through conduction through meridians and slow absorption by the body itself, thereby producing a non-specific desensitization effect, regulating the body's immune function, improving tolerance to pathogens, and restoring the body's normal functions. Indications: Good results are obtained in the treatment of skin diseases, especially in immune-related diseases. 8. Traditional Chinese Medicine Medicinal Bath Medicinal bath is an external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, also known as "hydrotherapy". It involves adding appropriate Chinese herbal medicines to the water. After decoction, take the decoction to bathe the local area or the whole body while it is hot, or add its fresh juice to the bath soup for bathing to prevent and treat diseases. According to the location of medicinal bath, it can be divided into local bath and full body bath. The former is like shampooing, washing eyes, washing anus, washing hands and feet and local skin lesions of skin diseases; the latter is full body bath with soup containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. The improvement of traditional Chinese medicine preparation technology and the advent of transdermal absorbers have further improved the skin absorption rate of traditional Chinese medicine bath agents. Indications: Generalized eczema, large-area skin diseases all over the body, etc.9. Preparation of temporary prescriptions: According to the types of diseases in the department, a series of special external medicines have been developed: hair growth tincture, Baidu tincture, eczema ointment, lithospermum oil, Diandai powder and other homemade preparations, with remarkable clinical effects. Features of Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery and Laser Cosmetology 1. Dermatology Surgery 1. Surgical treatment: Carry out the resection of benign and malignant tumors on the body surface, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, sweat duct cancer and other skin malignant tumors, as well as epidermal nevus, pigmented nevus, sebaceous nevus, sebaceous cyst, epidermal cyst and other benign skin tumors; carry out cosmetic repair of burns, frostbite, trauma and various difficult wounds. 2. Injection treatment: treatment of armpit odor, keloid scars, etc. 2. Medical cosmetology: Double eyelids (double eyelids), rhinoplasty, tip plastic surgery and rhinoplasty, eyebrow lift, eye bags, lip plastic surgery, facial rejuvenation treatment (including Sichuan lines, dorsal nose lines, crow's feet, masseter muscles, etc.), facial fat filling, etc.3. Photoelectric treatment: Photorejuvenation technology can produce super strong decomposition and treatment capabilities for pigment groups without damaging normal tissues. Its biological effect is the selective heat absorption of light. When specific pulse energy penetrates the skin, is selectively absorbed by the target tissue in the tissue, and is converted into heat energy, an "internal destruction effect" occurs. The crushed pigment particles are excreted through skin exudation or body metabolism, improving the problem of spots. 4.
