What is Holistic Dermatology?

Root Cause Healing for Acne, Eczema and Beyond

At The Beauty Within, we believe that true skin health comes from within. Our Holistic Dermatology program is designed for those who are seeking a more natural, lasting solution to chronic skin concerns—without relying on harsh antibiotics, steroids, or short-term fixes.

Instead of simply treating surface symptoms, we blend the best of Functional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to uncover and address the root causes of dermatological imbalances like acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and more.

Why Holistic Dermatology?

Most conventional dermatology approaches rely on topical treatments or medications that suppress symptoms—but don’t resolve the underlying dysfunction. Our integrative model takes a deeper look at how your gut health, hormonal balance, immune system, and stress levels contribute to chronic skin issues.

We believe your skin is a reflection of your internal health—and by supporting your body’s healing mechanisms, we help restore clear, radiant skin from the inside out.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

At The Beauty Within, we know that you are not just a skin condition — you are a whole person, with a unique story, history, and journey that deserves to be seen and heard. We take the time to listen deeply, understanding not only your symptoms but also the stress, emotions, and experiences that affect your skin and overall well-being. By combining the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the science of Functional Medicine, our holistic dermatology approach looks beyond the surface to uncover the root causes of concerns like acne, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. Our goal is not only to restore your skin, but to help you feel balanced, radiant, and confident from the inside out.

1. Root Cause Testing & Personalized Assessment

We start with a comprehensive intake and may recommend advanced lab testing to evaluate gut health, hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, and inflammatory markers. These insights guide a personalized skin treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

2. Functional Medicine Interventions

Through nutritional therapy, lifestyle guidance, and professional-grade supplements, we reduce inflammation, support detox pathways, and restore internal balance — creating the foundation for long-term skin healing.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapies

With expert knowledge in acupuncture for skin health, herbal medicine, and time-tested TCM techniques, we offer non-invasive treatments such as:

  • Acupuncture to regulate the immune system, calm inflammation, and ease stress.

  • Customized Chinese herbal formulas to restore balance from within.

  • Facial cupping, gua sha, and acupressure to improve circulation and lymphatic flow.

4. Adjunctive Healing Therapies

To further enhance your results, we integrate supportive therapies such as:

  • LED light therapy to calm irritation and stimulate skin repair.

  • Organic, holistic facials and topical treatments to strengthen the skin barrier.

  • Stress management techniques to break cycles of flare-ups linked to anxiety and burnout.

Our Philosophy: NO STEROIDS, NO ANTIBIOTICS. Just Healing.

We understand how frustrating it is to try countless creams or medications that only offer temporary relief. At The Beauty Within, we focus on long-term healing, not symptom suppression.

Our holistic dermatology treatments are:
✔️ Natural and non-toxic
✔️ Tailored to your unique body
✔️ Designed to support your whole-body wellness

FAQ

Standard dermatological treatments often focus on symptom management. Our integrative approach goes deeper by identifying root causes—like gut imbalance, hormones, or stress—so skin health is restored naturally, without reliance on steroids or antibiotics.

Your journey begins with a heartfelt, in-depth consultation—either in person or via telehealth—where we listen closely to your skin story. We may recommend lab tests (gut microbiome, hormone panels, inflammation markers) to build a truly personalized treatment plan.

Pricing is based on the depth of care provided and the diagnostics involved. For reference:

  • Advanced lab panels (GI Map + organic acids): ~$630 total

  • Extended first visit (includes lab review, intake, and treatment planning): $495

  • 30-minute follow-up: ~$150 + (additional as needed)

  • Supplements and topicals:

    • FM: typically $100–200/month

    • TCM: depends on form (granules typically cost $50-100/mo, decoctions cost ~$500-800/mo)

Yes! We begin with a brief introductory call—no obligation—as a way to see if holistic dermatology is the right fit for your needs and to avoid unnecessary costs if conventional approaches might serve you better.

  • First consultation: Around 60-90 minutes (extended intake)

  • Follow-ups: Approximately 30 minutes, scheduled every 10–12 weeks or as needed to assess progress

Though individual timelines vary, many patients begin noticing improvements in skin clarity, texture, and overall radiance within a few weeks to a few months. Our aim is to heal deeply and sustainably, not just quickly.

We specialize in chronic or stubborn skin issues including acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and other inflammatory or systemic-related skin challenges—especially when conventional treatments haven’t delivered long-lasting results.

Follow-ups allow us to review your progress, adjust your personalized plan, and refine your treatment strategies using insights from both lab tests and how you respond to holistic treatments.
