Think of it as Primary Care, but for Your Skin
You're Worth Investing in Looking Amazing
Functional medicine is a full system healing approach at the roots. Feeling amazing is, for many of us, also about looking amazing. There are a number of ways we can approach this. Functional medicine has advanced so that we are also able to offer longevity medicine, or functional anti-aging, as well as aesthetic treatments focused on enhancing your natural beauty inside and out.
Functional Wellness
Functional medicine addresses chronic and autoimmune disease such as thyroid or adrenal health, underlying infection and boosting immune health, mental health issues at the level of our neurotransmitters, gut health, cardiac health, metabolic health, even epigenetics - all which help us feel better and live with greater vitality.
Aesthetic Treatments
Holistic healthcare also includes enhancing your natural beauty inside and out. As a board-certified clinician, I am not just handing out prescriptions, selling products, or performing injections. I am analyzing, diagnosing, and working with you to develop a long-term plan for your skin's health - one that's medically sound, proactive, and personal.
Imagine a face-care regimen that actually makes sense for you, backed by medical expertise and designed to adapt as your skin changes over time. This isn't another beauty brand or tox-slinger - it's a game changer in health-driven skin care. Skincare products and services are like diet and exercise - together, they work to nourish, strengthen, and maintain your skin's health.
Neuromodulators like Xeomin and Dysport, microneedling, platelet-derived growth factors, chemical peels, and Kybella to slim your chin add to the functional and integrative efforts to create beauty inside and out. My professional services provide clinical improvements, while any recommended skin care products support ongoing skin health and help to maintain results over time.

My approach is rooted in science-backed long-term skin health rather than short-term beauty fixes. Think of my service as a bridge between the dermatologist and the aesthetician - redefining the way skin health is approached.
Skin Care Regimen & Professional Treatments
According to a study published in Dermatology Times, following a consistent skincare regimen (cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting) can improve skin kydration by 45% and skin elasticity by 30% over a period of 12 weeks. Another study published in the Journal of Dermatology found that retinoids (such as retinol) can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by up to 30% after about 12 weeks of consistent use. Further, a report from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reveals that nearly 95% of patients report treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, and laser treatments.
