Our holistic approach integrates these principles to support and sustain healthy skin at every stage of life.

What is Lifestyle Dermatology?

Lifestyle dermatology is a specialized approach that Dr. Kim received additional training in which emphasizes integrating skincare, cosmetic treatments, and holistic health practices to not only enhance one’s appearance but the overall well-being of individuals for long-lasting health and beautiful skin. 

Here at Beyond Skin Dermatology we recognize the interconnectedness of lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and personal habits with skin health, beauty, and overall well-being. 

Here’s a comprehensive look at lifestyle dermatology, its principles, and the types of services we focus on.

Principles of Lifestyle Dermatology

1. Comprehensive Skin Care: Lifestyle dermatology focuses on factors that influence skin health such as skin type, lifestyle habits, environmental exposures, and genetic predispositions when designing treatment plans.
2. Preventive Care: Prevention is a cornerstone of lifestyle dermatology and overall health. Dr. Kim and our team are passionate about educating patients about sun protection, skincare routines, and lifestyle modifications to prevent premature aging, skin damage, and the development of skin conditions.
3. Holistic Approach: Lifestyle dermatology takes a holistic approach to skin health, addressing not only cosmetic concerns but also underlying medical conditions, nutritional factors, stress management, and overall wellness. This approach aims to optimize skin health from the inside out and equip patients with tools to manage their skin health for a lifetime.

What Does Lifestyle Dermatology Include?

1. Medical Dermatology: Lifestyle dermatology is not an alternative to the traditional medical care of skin conditions, rather it encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and skin cancer along with other treatment approaches. Dr. Kim is a board-certified dermatologist and is trained and well-experienced in using advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments to address medical dermatological concerns effectively.
2. Cosmetic Dermatology: Lifestyle dermatology also takes into account appearance and focuses on enhancing aesthetic appearance while striving for optimal skin health. Here at Beyond Skin Dermatology, our aesthetic services include Botox and filler injections, chemical peels, and microneedling to address wrinkles, volume loss, pigmentation issues, and skin texture irregularities. 
3. Nutritional Counseling: Dr. Kim and the team also know the importance of proper nutrition and provide nutritional counseling to help you improve your skin health. They will educate you about the impact of diet on skin appearance and recommend collaboration with a nutritionist for dietary modifications and supplements to support healthy skin function and appearance, if necessary.
4. Stress Management and Wellness: Lifestyle dermatology emphasizes the role of stress management techniques, adequate sleep, regular exercise, and mindfulness practices in promoting skin health and overall well-being. Dr. Kim may recommend lifestyle modifications to reduce stress-related skin conditions and improve skin resilience.
