Introduction: Why Dermatology Needs a New Approach

The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it often reflects our internal health. Traditional dermatology focuses on symptom management, but at Patients Medical, we go beyond surface-level treatments. We combine conventional dermatology with holistic and functional medicine to uncover and treat the root causes of skin conditions and aesthetic concerns.

Our integrative approach is personalized to each patient, addressing not only the skin but the entire body. Whether you’re struggling with acne, aging, eczema, or pigmentation issues, we offer holistic solutions to help you achieve glowing, healthy skin naturally.

What Is Dermatology and Cosmetic Treatment?

Dermatology refers to the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin conditions. Cosmetic dermatology combines these treatments with aesthetic procedures to improve the appearance of the skin.

We treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Acne: Chronic breakouts, scarring, and hormonal imbalances.
  • Aging Skin: Wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and sun damage.
  • Pigmentation Issues: Hyperpigmentation, melasma, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
  • Eczema & Psoriasis: Inflammatory conditions causing dry, itchy, and irritated skin.
  • Rosacea: Redness, visible blood vessels, and skin sensitivity.

Our goal is to provide effective, non-invasive treatments that restore balance and health to your skin.

Common Symptoms of Skin Conditions

Certain skin conditions may go unnoticed for some time, but these symptoms could indicate an underlying issue:

  • Persistent acne or breakouts
  • Dry, flaky, or red skin
  • Itching or rashes
  • Uneven skin tone or dark spots
  • Fine lines or sagging skin
  • Sensitivity or irritation to products or the environment

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a specialist for evaluation and personalized care.

Root Causes: Why Do Skin Conditions Develop?

At Patients Medical, we believe that skin issues are often linked to internal imbalances. Our approach focuses on uncovering the root causes of your skin concerns, which may include:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Particularly in conditions like acne and pigmentation disorders.
  • Poor Diet: Diets high in sugar, processed foods, and low in nutrients can negatively affect skin health.
  • Chronic Stress: Leads to inflammation and triggers skin flare-ups.
  • Gut Health: Leaky gut, dysbiosis, and other digestive issues can contribute to skin problems like acne and eczema.
  • Toxin Overload: Environmental toxins, heavy metals, and pollutants can harm your skin.
  • Sleep Issues: Poor sleep quality affects skin regeneration and can worsen conditions like eczema or aging.
  • Sun Damage: Prolonged exposure to UV rays leads to premature aging, pigmentation issues, and skin cancers.

Diagnostic Testing We Use

To fully understand the causes of your skin issues, we offer advanced diagnostic testing, such as:

Hormone Panels (including cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone levels)

Comprehensive Blood Work (to evaluate internal health factors affecting the skin)

Gut Health Testing (stool microbiome and leaky gut testing)

Allergy Testing (food sensitivities or environmental triggers)

Inflammatory Markers (CRP, homocysteine levels to assess overall inflammation)

Heavy Metal Testing (toxins in the body)

Genetic Testing (to uncover predispositions to skin conditions)

Real Case Study: Sarah’s Journey to Clearer Skin

Sarah, age 35, struggled with persistent acne and scarring despite trying numerous treatments. She also suffered from stress and poor sleep quality. After thorough testing, we discovered hormonal imbalances, gut issues, and high stress levels.

We designed a 3-month plan that included:

  • Hormonal balancing with bioidentical hormones.
  • Gut health repair with probiotics and dietary adjustments.
  • Custom acne treatment plan with topical therapies and microneedling.

After 3 months, Sarah’s skin cleared up significantly, and her acne scars diminished. She regained confidence and felt healthier overall.
