Skin Health

Why Skin Health Matters

Your skin reflects what’s going on inside your body. Persistent acne or eczema can be triggered by:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Immune system reactions
• Chronic inflammation
• Stress responses
• Diet and lifestyle factors
• Environmental irritants

Rather than treating symptoms alone, we uncover and address the underlying imbalances affecting your skin.

Common Skin Conditions We Treat

Acne – Breakouts, Blemishes & Scars

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can show up as:

• Whiteheads & blackheads
• Pimples, pustules, cysts
• Red or inflamed areas
• Scarring or texture changes

Causes of acne flare-ups can include diet, hormonal shifts (puberty, menstrual cycle), stress, and certain medications.

How We Treat Acne:

Dr. Kapoor evaluates your skin and health history, helps refine your at-home skincare routine, and may recommend:

• Tailored topical or oral medications
• Skin-revitalization therapies
• Diet and lifestyle adjustments
• Strategies to reduce inflammation and prevent future outbreaks
• Scar-reduction options for healed acne

Our goal is clearer, healthier skin with fewer breakouts and improved self-confidence.

Eczema – Itchy, Inflamed, Irritated Skin

Eczema (dermatitis) causes dry, red, itchy skin that often flares unpredictably. It can appear on various areas, including the:

• Face
• Hands & feet
• Elbows and knees
• Neck and torso

Triggers may include allergies, genetic skin sensitivity, environmental irritants, stress, and underlying immune responses.

How We Treat Eczema:

Treatment depends on your symptoms and trigger patterns and may include:

• Individualized skincare routines
• Prescription creams or lotions
• Light therapy for severe rashes
• Allergy identification and avoidance plans
• Stress-management strategies to reduce flare-ups

By controlling your triggers and supporting your immune system, we help you enjoy less itching and fewer flare-ups.

An Integrative, Root-Cause Approach to Skin Health

At ARA Integrative, skin care is more than topical treatment. Our approach includes:

• Detailed health assessment and history
• Advanced lab testing when appropriate
• Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
• Hormonal and metabolic optimization
• Stress and immune-system support

Because skin conditions often reflect deeper imbalances, addressing internal health often leads to better and longer-lasting skin results.

Conditions That Can Influence Your Skin

Certain internal factors can worsen both acne and eczema, including:

• Hormonal fluctuations
• Stress hormones like cortisol
• Dietary factors
• Immune system dysregulation

By balancing your hormones, reducing inflammation, and improving overall health, many patients see improvements in both acne and eczema symptoms.
