What is Microbiome Dermatology?

Microbiome dermatology explores the skin’s microbiome and its impact on dermatological wellness. This involves studying the microorganisms living on the skin, which are vital for sustaining skin health and immune function. Imbalances in the skin microbiome can contribute to various dermatological conditions like breakouts, blemishes, redness, skin aging, and skin sensitivity. Many of our patients have had great success in alleviating the following conditions through microbiome dermatology:

Signs of aging
Acne
Eczema
Sun damage
Inflammation
Discoloration

How Our Microbiome Improvement Process Works

Testing and DNA Sequencing

Our testing involves a quick skin swab to be sent to the lab to determine your skin microbiome. Also, a blood test to determine any food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, or nutritional deficiencies.

Review Results

We’ll incorporate some proven dietary changes and supplementation to begin the process as we await results. Results usually take about three weeks to return so that we can customize your serum.

Create a Customized Plan

After reviewing the results, we’ll customize your serum and put you on a treatment plan that includes diet, nutrition, and supplements based upon your lab results. You’ll follow the plan independently for 2-3 months for the best results.
