SKIN & HEALTH ASSESSMENT We want to understand your skin under our Naturopathic Skin Program Peterborough—so Dr. Idrissi will take a thorough evaluation of your skin health and overall health (past and present). We’ll also assess your current diet, skin care regimen, and any medications or supplements you are currently taking or have previously tried.
-
LAB TESTING Doctor Idrissi will discuss whether or not she recommends any lab testing. Lab testing may be beneficial to pinpoint the root cause(s) of your skin concerns. Common lab tests we recommend: * FOOD INTOLERANCE TESTING: to help determine the ideal diet for your skin. This test looks for specific foods that might be triggering inflammation and breakouts.
-
HORMONE TESTING: to look for excess or deficiency of key hormones, such as testosterone and DHEA, that can make your skin more susceptible to breakouts or cystic acne.
-
STOOL TESTING: to assess overall digestive function and reveal any gastrointestinal imbalances that may be contributing to problem skin, such as intestinal permeability (aka “leaky gut”), parasitic infection, yeast/candida overgrowth, lack of adequate healthy flora and more.
-
YOUR PERSONALIZED SKINCARE PLAN Doctor Idrissi will work with you to create a Skin Care Plan tailored to your skin concern. Your plan will include nutritional recommendations and instructions about which natural medicines might be the most beneficial for your skin and body type. Doctor Idrissi may also provide insights about your topical skin care regimen.
-
FOLLOW-UP CARE Follow-up visits are typically every 4 to 8 weeks until your new and healthier complexion has reached the surface. During these visits, Doctor Idrissi will monitor your progress, review any newly completed labs, and determine if any changes to your Skin Care Plan are needed for optimal results.
