Skin Problems

Heal the Inside, Transform the Outside

Skin issues are often seen as surface-level problems—but in functional medicine, we know they’re messengers. Whether you're dealing with acne, eczema, rosacea, or hives, your skin is revealing what's happening beneath the surface—often in the gut, immune system, or hormones.

At Vital Source Functional Medicine, we work to uncover the root causes of your skin symptoms, using advanced testing and personalized strategies to restore balance from the inside out. Our goal isn’t to just suppress the symptoms—it’s to help your body heal and glow naturally.

Why Treating Skin from the Inside Works

Topical creams may offer short-term relief, but if the real issue is inside the body, those symptoms will keep returning. By addressing the internal imbalances—inflammation, immune dysfunction, or hormone dysregulation—we help you get clearer skin and better overall health.
