Clear Skin from Within: A Functional Dermatology Approach

Chronic acne is more than a surface-level issue—its root causes often lie deeper within the body. At Pillars Integrative Dermatology, we focus on the "gut-skin axis," a scientifically-backed connection between gut health and skin health. Imbalances in the gut microbiome, such as harmful bacteria,  yeast overgrowth can lead to systemic inflammation, hormonal disruptions, and a weakened skin barrier. These internal factors can manifest as persistent acne and other skin conditions.

Get To the Root Cause

Our approach combines cutting-edge diagnostic tools, such as the GI-MAP stool test and Organic Acids Test (OAT), to identify specific imbalances in your gut. From there, we craft a personalized treatment plan that promotes long-term healing. Treatments may include antimicrobial herbs to address harmful bacteria, probiotics to restore the microbiome, anti-inflammatory dietary changes, and research-backed supplements to support both gut and skin health. By addressing the root causes of acne, our functional dermatology approach enables clearer, healthier skin naturally and sustainably.

Take the first step toward transforming your skin by uncovering the underlying causes of your acne. At Pillars Integrative Dermatology, we empower you with a holistic, evidence-based plan tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring lasting results from the inside out.
