Keep scrolling to learn more about an integrative healthcare experience and what it can mean for you.

What is integrative healthcare?

The definition of integrative healthcare can vary somewhat, but it generally includes taking a dual-approach to care that includes both mainstream and less conventional methods for the purpose of addressing a more complete range of patient needs, from their physical health and wellness to their emotional and spiritual well-being. In addition, integrative healthcare may offer non-traditional options for accessing treatment and care that align with a patient logistical and lifestyle needs. At OneSkin Dermatology, Dr. Day is committed to empowering patients to take charge of their skincare needs through an integrative care model that offers in-person and virtual appointments for a full suite of services to address overall health and well-being.

What dermatology services can I receive virtually?

Many of our skincare services can be conducted virtually, though treatments do often require in-person visits. Through our online appointments, patients can:

  • Have their concern or condition preliminary evaluated
  • Receive a consultation for a condition or aesthetic service
  • Ask questions about their condition or treatment plan
  • Have their progress monitored
  • Obtain recommendations and/or prescriptions for certain conditions
  • Discuss their options for a medical or cosmetic dermatology service

How does integrative healthcare improve my treatment and results?

Rather than simply addressing the biophysical condition, integrative care takes into account other factors that may be influencing the patient’s symptoms — as well as ways that whole-person care can boost the effects of a treatment or procedure. For example, early hair loss may be linked to hormone changes, but other factors — like stress, lack of sleep, and dietary deficiencies — can also contribute to the problem. By understanding and addressing these issues, hair loss treatments may become more effective.

Another important factor in our integrative healthcare approach is allowing patients to feel more in control of their condition and course of treatment. A common example of this is patients who are undergoing medical or aesthetic treatments for age-related concerns. By addressing the psychosocial needs of the patient, he or she can take a more empowered approach to aging that helps to boost their confidence and leave them feeling more positive overall.

Whatever your dermatology needs may be, Dr. Day can customize a full-scope, integrative healthcare approach to meet your unique needs and goals.
