Skin health that starts from within

Naturopathic skin health goes far beyond topical treatments. Rather than suppressing symptoms, our naturopathic doctors investigate the underlying physiological drivers of your skin concerns — from hormonal imbalances and gut dysbiosis to nutritional deficiencies and chronic inflammation.

This approach is particularly powerful for conditions that haven't responded to conventional treatment: persistent acne, chronic rosacea, eczema, melasma, and accelerated skin aging. By treating the whole person — not just the skin — naturopathic medicine creates lasting results that aesthetics alone cannot achieve.

All naturopathic consultations at Oak Skin in Burnaby are eligible for extended health benefit coverage.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Naturopathic skin health FAQ

Is naturopathic skin care covered by extended health benefits in BC?

Yes — naturopathic consultations with a licensed Naturopathic Doctor are covered by most extended health benefit plans in BC. We provide direct billing to most extended health plans.

How long before I see results from naturopathic skin treatment?

Most patients notice improvements within 4–8 weeks of starting a naturopathic protocol. Hormonal and gut-related conditions may take 3–6 months for full resolution.

How is a naturopathic approach different from seeing a dermatologist?

Dermatologists focus on diagnosing and treating skin conditions with prescription medications or procedures. Naturopathic medicine investigates the root causes — hormones, gut health, nutrition, and stress — and addresses them with evidence-based natural therapies.

Can I combine naturopathic care with aesthetic treatments at Oak Skin?

Absolutely — and we strongly recommend it. Combining internal naturopathic support with clinical aesthetic treatments produces significantly better and longer-lasting results than either approach alone.
