The skin is the body’s largest organ — and one of its most visible windows into internal health. Conditions like hormonal acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, chronic dryness, and premature aging are rarely just skin-deep. They are often manifestations of systemic imbalances including hormonal dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, gut dysfunction, inflammation, and environmental toxin exposure.
This is why the skin and health analysis at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center goes beyond what a standard aesthetician consultation can offer. Our naturopathic approach investigates the “why” behind your skin concerns so that aesthetic treatments are paired with internal healing for results that truly last.
What Is Included in a Skin & Health Analysis?
Your Skin & Health Analysis at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center includes:
- Comprehensive health history overview — A thorough review of your medical history, lifestyle factors, diet, medications, supplements, and prior skin conditions to build a complete picture of your health
- Targeted lab work — Where appropriate, lab testing may be ordered to investigate internal contributors to skin concerns, including hormonal panels, food allergy/sensitivity testing, thyroid function, nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory markers, and more
- Skin assessment — A detailed evaluation of your skin type, current skin concerns, and the most appropriate aesthetic treatments for your goals
- Personalized recommendations — An integrated plan combining internal naturopathic support with targeted aesthetic treatments to address your skin concerns from both inside and outside
Internal Factors We Investigate
Common internal factors contributing to skin conditions that we investigate at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center include:
- Hormonal imbalances — particularly estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol dysregulation (addressed through salivary hormone testing)
- Food allergies and sensitivities — hidden IgG reactions that drive inflammation and skin flares (food allergy testing)
- Nutritional deficiencies — particularly Vitamin D, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins
- Thyroid dysfunction — which can cause dry skin, hair loss, and poor wound healing (ThyroFlex testing)
- Gut health and intestinal permeability (leaky gut) — a major driver of inflammatory skin conditions
- Environmental toxin exposure — assessed through our Nutritional Hair Scanner
By addressing these root causes alongside topical and aesthetic treatments, patients at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center experience more dramatic, more lasting improvements in their skin health and appearance than aesthetic treatment alone can achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin & Health Analysis
What is a skin and health analysis at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center?
Our Skin & Health Analysis is a comprehensive consultation that combines a detailed health history review, targeted lab work, and a thorough skin assessment to identify both internal and external contributors to your skin concerns. It reflects our uniquely naturopathic approach: understanding that beautiful skin requires healthy internal foundations, not just topical treatments.
What types of internal factors can affect skin health?
Many internal factors affect skin health, including hormonal imbalances (affecting acne, oil production, and collagen), food allergies and sensitivities (driving inflammation and flares), nutritional deficiencies (impacting skin cell renewal and barrier function), thyroid dysfunction, gut health, chronic stress, and environmental toxin exposure. Our naturopathic doctors at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center are trained to investigate and address all of these.
What lab tests might be ordered as part of a skin and health analysis?
Depending on your skin concerns and health history, lab testing might include hormonal panels (salivary hormone testing), food allergy and sensitivity testing, thyroid function (ThyroFlex and blood panels), Vitamin D, zinc, omega-3 levels, inflammatory markers, and more. Testing is ordered based on what is most clinically relevant for your individual situation.
How is a skin and health analysis different from an aesthetician consultation?
A standard aesthetician consultation focuses on topical skin concerns and cosmetic treatments. Our Skin & Health Analysis at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center goes deeper — investigating systemic health factors that influence skin, ordering lab work when appropriate, and creating an integrated plan that combines naturopathic internal medicine with targeted aesthetic treatments. The result is more comprehensive and more lasting improvement.
Can the skin and health analysis help with chronic skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis?
Absolutely. Chronic skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis have significant internal drivers — immune dysregulation, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, and gut dysfunction — that topical treatments alone cannot address. Our naturopathic approach investigates and treats these root causes, producing improvements that cosmetic medicine alone cannot achieve. Many patients see significant reduction in their chronic skin condition symptoms through our integrated approach.
What treatments might follow a skin and health analysis?
Based on your analysis results, your personalized plan may include any combination of: chemical peels, HydraFacials, PRP microneedling, or Subnovii for external skin rejuvenation; plus internal naturopathic support including nutritional protocols, IV therapy, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle modifications based on your lab results and health history.
