Functional Medicine
Care that looks for the root causes behind how your skin and body are aging, rather than treating symptoms in isolation. It runs alongside aesthetic treatment so your skin is supported from within as well as at the surface.

Where This Changes the Treatment Plan
Persistent inflammation, unexplained skin reactivity, stubborn pigment, poor healing after treatment, and results that fade faster than expected often have systemic contributors. Treating those contributors is frequently what allows aesthetic treatment to finally work as intended. Patients sometimes arrive frustrated after years of treatments that underdelivered, and the reason turns out to sit outside the skin entirely.
This is a collaborative and ongoing process rather than a single appointment. It may involve laboratory assessment, targeted nutritional support, and changes to daily habits, reviewed and adjusted over time. Yve works alongside your existing physicians rather than replacing them, and will refer you when something falls outside her scope.

Skin Is an Organ, Not a Surface
How your skin looks is downstream of how your body works. Thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, nutrient status, gut health, sleep quality, and stress hormones all affect collagen production, barrier integrity, oil production, and how quickly skin repairs itself. This is why two patients with identical treatment plans can respond so differently.
Functional medicine asks what is driving a problem rather than only how to correct its appearance. Yve is certified in functional aesthetic medicine and trained as a health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and that background is why a consultation here may involve questions about your sleep and digestion rather than only about your face.
What looking beneath the surface can change about how your skin behaves and responds.

Is this a replacement for my primary care physician?
No. Functional medicine here works alongside the care you already receive, not instead of it. Yve will refer you to your physician or a specialist whenever something falls outside her scope, and she will tell you plainly when that is the case. Continue with your existing providers and treatment.
What does the process actually involve?
It starts with a thorough conversation about your health history, symptoms, habits, sleep, digestion, and goals. Depending on what emerges, laboratory assessment may follow, along with targeted nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. Progress is reviewed and the plan adjusted over time rather than set once.
How long before I notice a difference?
This works on a different timescale from aesthetic treatment. Energy and sleep sometimes shift within weeks, while changes in skin quality generally take months, since skin reflects systemic change slowly. It suits patients thinking in terms of years rather than looking for a quick fix.
Do I need this to have aesthetic treatments here?
Not at all. Plenty of patients come only for injectables or skin treatments and that is perfectly reasonable. This is available for those who want to understand what is driving their skin rather than only treating what shows, and Yve will raise it only when she thinks it is genuinely relevant to you.
Beauty should never be about changing who you are.
It should be about preserving what makes you uniquely you.
