Skin Conditions Dr. Lana & the DLW Team Specialize In
Acne
Our approach to addressing acne by always looking at the most common offenders: inflammation, sub-optimal gut health, food sensitivities, and hormonal imbalance. Team DLW works together to uncover the root cause of your complexion issues and work to calm your skin, and correct the issue at hand. Acne is dealt with through specific nutrient repletion and supplementation, individualized nutritional plans as well as acupuncture, acupuncture facials, and lifestyle modifications.
Eczema
Eczema is a common skin condition characterized by patches of itchy, dry, rough, flakey, inflamed, and irritated skin that often appears with a red rash. Eczema can occur at any age and can show up anywhere on the body. However, it most commonly affects skin fold areas like the axilla (armpit), inner elbows, backs of the knees, cheeks, or scalp.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder as well as an autoimmune condition that causes the skin to develop scaly patches that are sometimes silvery or red and can be itchy and painful. Psoriasis is not contagious but may be genetically linked and is exacerbated by stress, diet, and surrounding environmental conditions. Psoriasis symptoms vary in severity and can be located anywhere on the body, but most commonly is found on the scalp, elbows, knee caps, and lower back.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition for which the cause is still unknown, and as such, there is no cure. Common symptoms are small, raised, red bumps on the skin, mainly the face (nose, cheeks, forehead), neck, and arms, and often occur in cycles, with symptoms presenting for weeks or months at a time, going away, and then returning. Spicy foods, gluten, alcoholic beverages, sunlight, stress, or intestinal bacterial overgrowth may trigger flare-ups.
