Skin Health Nutrition Assessment — Virtual

Get personalized guidance on nutrition and lifestyle, with a review of relevant lab work for nutritional deficiencies and hormonal factors that may affect your skin health, breakouts, and healing.

During your consultation, a Nutrition & Wellness Specialist will:

  • Review your current diet and daily habits

  • Identify nutritional and lifestyle factors that may affect your skin

  • Review relevant lab work for nutritional deficiencies and hormonal factors

  • Provide science-based guidance on food choices, practical substitutions, and lifestyle adjustments

  • Develop realistic recommendations to support your skin health and treatment goals

This consultation works well on its own and can also be a valuable addition to your Professional Acne Assessment, Scar Assessment, or Skin Health & Rejuvenation Assessment.

Nutrition, lifestyle, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal factors can influence skin health, breakouts, healing, and treatment response. Addressing these factors helps support your skin from within and complement your professional treatment plan.

Required for clients under 18: A parent or legal guardian must attend the full virtual appointment.

Add Focused Nutrition Guidance to Your Professional Acne Assessment.

Your Professional Acne Assessment evaluates your acne type, severity, history, treatments, and individual triggers. The Skin Health Nutrition Assessment — Virtual complements it with a personalized review of nutrition and lifestyle factors that may contribute to acne.

Personal trigger review
Explore patterns in foods, supplements, and other daily habits.

Realistic substitutions
Learn practical alternatives instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all restriction list.

Clear priorities
Understand which changes may be most useful to try first and how to approach them.

Connected acne care
Use your guidance alongside a personalized assessment or ongoing Acne Program.

Nutrition and lifestyle guidance supports a broader acne-care plan; it does not replace a Professional Acne Assessment.

Questions Before You Book?

Clear answers to the questions clients ask most often before their assessment.

Does food cause acne, or is nutrition only one possible contributing factor?

Acne is multifactorial, and food is not the only possible cause. The consultation looks for individual patterns in nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and lab context that may be relevant to your skin rather than assuming one trigger applies to everyone.

Will I be asked to follow a restrictive diet or eliminate entire food groups?

The focus is on realistic, personalized changes and practical substitutions, not a universal restriction list. Recommendations are shaped around your current habits, preferences, and skin goals.

Do I need lab results before booking the consultation?

No. Lab results are optional. If you already have relevant results, they may provide useful context for nutritional deficiencies or hormonal factors that could affect skin health and healing.

Do I need to complete every test listed on the website?

No. The lists are suggestions organized by skin concern, not a requirement for every client. Appropriate testing varies with your symptoms, history, and individual needs and should be coordinated with your medical provider.

Can you review lab results I already have?

Yes. If available, submit relevant results from the past six months before your appointment. Your Nutrition & Wellness Specialist will use them as context alongside your diet, habits, and skin goals.

Does this consultation replace an acne, scar, or medical assessment?

No. Nutrition and lifestyle guidance complements professional skin care and medical care; it does not replace them. The consultation can also be paired with an acne, scar, or Skin Health & Rejuvenation Assessment.
