WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL DERMATOLOGY?
Functional dermatology is a holistic, root-cause approach to skin health that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances—such as gut health, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, and lifestyle factors—that contribute to skin conditions. Instead of just treating surface symptoms, it integrates advanced diagnostics, nutrition, naturopathic medicine, and personalized skincare to heal the skin from the inside out. This approach is particularly effective for chronic skin issues like acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and premature aging, offering long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.
If you've maintained a clean diet, avoiding trigger foods, our non-toxic skincare products, and prioritized self-care, your skin is still problematic; we must delve deeper.
Our extensive experience with specialized testing and understanding of the interconnections between these factors allow us to identify the underlying causes of skin or scalp manifestations, including:
​
-
Acne
-
Rosacea
-
Eczema
-
Psoriasis
-
Melasma
-
Seborrheic Dermatitis
-
Dandruff / Hair Loss
-
Keratosis Pilaris
-
Tinea / Malassezia Versicolor
Our primary goal is to help each client recognize their unique skin goals and achieve optimal wellness. We achieve this through tailored education, inspiration, and empowerment, setting us apart and ensuring the best possible results our clients.
