Treatment Options?

At EASTND, our Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) take a holistic approach to treat acne, addressing the root causes of the condition and promoting overall skin health. Here are some treatment options an ND may provide:

Dietary Modifications: NDs may recommend dietary changes to identify and eliminate potential trigger foods that contribute to acne breakouts. They can advise on a balanced and nutrient-rich diet that supports skin health.
Supplements: NDs may suggest specific supplements, such as zinc, vitamin A, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics, to help reduce inflammation, support hormonal balance, and promote clearer skin.
Herbal Remedies: Herbal treatments like burdock root, chamomile, and aloe vera may be recommended for their anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties.
Stress Management: Stress can worsen acne, and NDs may suggest stress-reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, or breathing exercises to help manage stress levels.
Hormonal Balance: If hormonal imbalances are contributing to acne, NDs can work on rebalancing hormones through natural approaches.
Detoxification: Supporting the body's natural detoxification processes can help eliminate toxins that may contribute to acne.
Lifestyle Recommendations: NDs can provide lifestyle advice, including proper sleep, regular exercise, and healthy habits that promote optimal skin health.

By combining these naturopathic treatments with the expertise of our Medical Aestheticians, who offer customized skincare regimens, chemical peels, LED light therapy, and microneedling for acne prevention and scar treatment, our patients can benefit from a comprehensive and individualized approach to effectively manage acne and achieve clearer, healthier skin.

Do you recommend incorporating supplements to support clear skin?

While addressing the external factors is crucial, true healing begins from within. Acne can be influenced by various internal imbalances, including hormonal fluctuations, gut health issues, and nutrient deficiencies. Supplements offer a targeted and effective approach to tackle these root causes.

It is always best to work directly with our Naturopathic Doctors but here are a few we may recommend:

1. Sea Buckthorn SAP (Rich in Vitamin C and Omegas): is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne. Its high content of Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis, aiding in the healing and repair of damaged skin.

2. Ginseng+ (Botanical Formula with Korean Red Ginseng): has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties that can help soothe inflamed skin and reduce the appearance of acne. It may also regulate hormonal imbalances that contribute to breakouts.

3.ACES + Zn (Combination of Vitamins A, C, E, Selenium, and Zinc): Vitamin A helps regulate sebum production, reducing oiliness and preventing clogged pores. Vitamin C's antioxidant properties support collagen production and wound healing, assisting in the recovery of acne scars. Zinc has anti-inflammatory effects that can aid in reducing acne-related inflammation.

4. HMF Forte (Probiotic): helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, reducing inflammation that can trigger or worsen acne breakouts. By promoting gut health, they may also improve nutrient absorption, supporting overall skin health.

When will I see results?

Timelines for seeing results when working with a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and a Medical Aesthetician can vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of the skin condition, the treatment plan, and the patient's response to the therapies. Generally, some improvements may be noticed within a few weeks of starting the treatment, but significant and long-lasting results may take several weeks to a few months.

When collaborating with an ND, changes in diet, supplements, and herbal remedies may take some time to show visible effects on the skin, as these treatments aim to address underlying factors that contribute to acne.

Working with a Medical Aesthetician, the timeline for results may also vary based on the treatment plan.

For instance, skincare products may show some improvements in the skin's texture and appearance within a few weeks, while procedures like chemical peels or microneedling may require multiple sessions, spaced over several weeks, to achieve optimal outcomes.

For the best results, it's crucial to follow the recommended treatment plan diligently and attend follow-up appointments with both the ND and the Medical Aesthetician. Consistency is key in achieving and maintaining healthier skin.

During your initial consultation, our expert team will provide more personalized information on the expected timeline for results based on your unique situation, ensuring that you are well-informed throughout the treatment process.
