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.
