Local integrative dermatology clinic, Healthy Skin Solutions, is committed to not only treating the symptoms of their patients’ skin conditions but treating the underlying causes as well.

“The change of season can often be a tricky time for people with chronic skin conditions,” says practitioner Luke Clews.

“An abrupt change of climate, whether that be cold to warm or warm to cold, can often trigger outbreaks for several types of skin diseases,” Luke says.

“Unfortunately, there is little to be done in terms of preventing season-related symptoms – the weather is the weather,” he says. “Patients are much better off treating the root cause of their skin condition.”

Now may be the time to call Healthy Skin Solutions.

The local clinic offers a wide variety of treatments for eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, hives, or bacterial infections.

Luke’s four steps of treatment are:

1. Identifying the primary triggers that caused the flare up.

2. Identifying the secondary triggers that continue to aggravate the skin.

3. Creating an individualised treatment plan.

4. Addressing all triggers to achieve long-term success.

“The problem with topical treatments is that they aren’t long-term solutions. We look deeper, at immune function, gut health, stress, or environmental factors – it all impacts the skin,” Luke says.

“At the root of all skincare problems is an allergy or intolerance to an environmental factor.

“Wellness is just a matter of identifying and treating it.”
