What Is Functional Dermatology?

Functional Dermatology takes a root-cause approach to your skin because your skin is a mirror of what's happening inside your body. Instead of masking symptoms with topical creams and or quick fixes, we investigate why your skin is reacting and create a personalized plan to restore balance from the inside out. 

​

If you've tried countless products, prescriptions, or dermatologist visits with little improvement, this approach is for you. 

​

Skin Conditions We Commonly Treat

​

We help babies, children, teens and adults struggling with chronic or stubborn skin concerns, including:

​

• Acne

• Rosacea

• Eczema and Dermatitis

• Psoriasis

• Hives 

• Perioral Dermatitis 

• Hair loss or thinning

• Chronic Dryness or sensitivity

• Aging or dull skin 

• Hyperpigmentation

​

Each off these conditions is often connected to imbalances in the gut microbiome, immune response, detox pathways, underlying toxin exposure, or hormones. All of which we assess through advance functional lab testing. 

​

Our Process

​

1. Comprehensive Consultation:

We dive deep into your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle to identify potential triggers behind your skin concerns.

 

2. Targeted Functional Testing

We use tools like stool testing, hormone panels (DUTCH test), food allergy testing, or fill the gap with additional blood serum markers to uncover what's driving inflammation beneath the surface. 

​

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

You'll receive a clear plan that includes skincare, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle protocols to support your skin and overall health. 

​

4. Progress Tracking & Ongoing Support

As your skin heals, we adjust your plan for lasting results, not just temporary relief. 

​

WHY FUNCTIONAL DERMATOLOGY SAVES YOU MONEY (and frustration)? 

Many patients come to us after years of spending money on products, prescriptions, facials, and quick-fix treatments that don't last. Functional dermatology identifies and treats the root cause, which means:

• fewer flare ups

• less dependency on constant product purchases or medications

• long term improvement in your skin, energy, digestion, and hormones

• real answers instead of symptom suppression

When your body is in balance, your skin naturally follows.....saving you time, money, and stress in the long run. 

​

WHO IS THIS FOR? 

You might benefit from functional dermatology if you:

• Have tried "everything" for you or your child's skin and still can't find answers. 

• Feel your breakouts, redness, or flares are connected to hormones or gut health. 

• Want a natural yet evidence-based approach.

• Are ready to invest in long term healing, not another temporary fix.
