Skin Consultation

For example, an individual is using strong solutions to reduce acne but they notice their face becomes dry as a result.  The acne dries out but it comes back because the skin microbiome has been disrupted of its natural oils.  If you strip your skin of natural oils your skin ends up producing more oils to replenish what it has lost and perpetuates the cycle of acne even further. BUT THIS IS ONLY ONCE PIECE TO THE PUZZLE:

WE LOOK AT WHAT IS CAUSING THE ACNE:

Let’s say the client above is experiencing acne on the side of their temples and they have extra darkness or puffiness under the eyes they may be experiencing issues with kidney detoxification or for instance acne on the lower jaw could be linked to their stomach or hormones.

Outbreaks could also be from stress, bacteria from pillow cases, makeup brushes, etc.  Rashes that show up around the mouth and under the chin could also be conditions such as perioral dermatitis.  In this case a stool test can be helpful to determine which gut organisms could be causing this.  

Whether we are dealing with acne, dry skin, rosacea, aging skin, sensitive skin or hyperpigmentation, our approach is to look at the bigger picture.  We use our expertise to provide the best care and concern possible.  Our aim is to help balance skin oils, balance skin microbiome, reduce inflammation and balance skin PH.  We provide you with a nourishing skincare routine, a plan for in-office treatments and suggestions on lifestyle changes.
