Functional Dermatology
A holistic approach to treating chronic skin conditions
Functional dermatology is all about understanding and treating the root causes of skin issues, not just the symptoms. This holistic approach considers various factors that impact your skin, including your gut health, environment, diet, and lifestyle choices.
WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL DERMATOLOGY?
Dr. Lauren Peizer, ND, takes a deep dive into your unique skin condition to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Everyone is different—your biochemistry, gut microbiome, age, hormones, and lifestyle all play a role in how skin issues develop. By looking at the whole person, we can identify and address the underlying factors that contribute to skin conditions. This means more effective, personalized treatment plans designed just for you.
