Integrative Aesthetics is a holistic, personalized approach to skin health that looks beyond the surface to understand why your skin is behaving the way it is.
This offering blends functional testing, clinical skin expertise, and lifestyle-based guidance to support your body and its systems as a whole. Rather than relying on quick fixes or generic protocols, we use your unique data, history, and symptoms to create a plan that aligns with your skin, your body, and your life.
This is for those who feel like they've tried everything and want to go deeper than topicals and are ready for clarity, strategy, and sustainable results.
Hair Mineral Analysis is the starting point. This non-invasive test provides insight into mineral balance, stress patterns, detoxification capacity, and metabolic trends — all of which can directly influence inflammation, hormones, breakouts, sensitivity, and overall skin/body resilience.
Because hair reflects longer-term patterns, HMA helps us understand what your body has been navigating beneath the surface and where gentle support is needed.
From your results, we build a custom, foundational plan that may include targeted nutrition, lifestyle shifts, skin protocols, and intentional supplementation when appropriate.
While HMA is the foundation, it is not always the only tool used. Based on your symptoms, health history, and results, additional functional testing may be recommended to gain deeper clarity. These tests are never ordered by default and are introduced only when they support your healing process.
Your unique and you need to be treated as such, in service and in testing.

THE INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
No. All testing used within Integrative Aesthetics is functional and educational. This work does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and does not replace medical care.
Medical testing is used to diagnose disease and guide medical treatment, typically through a physician. Functional testing focuses on how the body is functioning and looks at patterns and imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms.
Blood and traditional lab testing provide a snapshot of what is circulating in the body at a single moment in time and are primarily used for medical diagnosis. Hair Mineral Analysis reflects longer-term mineral patterns, metals and stress trends stored in the tissues over time - giving us a blueprint of what is happening and why.
Nope! I prioritize food and lifestyle changes first - making sure your body is absorbing nutrients properly before any supplementation is introduced. Supplements are used thoughtfully and only when supported internally - they are not a necessity for majority of clients.
HMA and other functional tests help move you from guessing to understanding. It provides insight into internal patterns—such as mineral imbalances, metal overload, sluggish detoxification, stress response, gut health, and hormonal trends—that may be contributing to inflammation, breakouts, sensitivity, headaches, brain fog, bloating, cramping and more. This allows for a more targeted, efficient plan that supports your skin and overall wellness at the root.
Integrative Aesthetics includes functional testing (starting with Hair Mineral Analysis), a comprehensive results review, and a fully customized, food-first plan tailored to your skin concerns, lifestyle, and goals. Recommendations may include lifestyle guidance, nutrition support, skin protocols, and intentional supplementation when supportive. Ongoing adjustments and support are included for the first 60 days.
Any functional testing used at The Facialist are intended for educational and wellness support purposes only. This service is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease and does not replace medical care. Please consult with a licensed healthcare provider for medical concerns.
