Natural Acne Solutions
Most acne treatments rely on external solutions like topical creams, antibiotics, or hormonal medications but they rarely address the true internal causes of skin inflammation. Functional medicine flips the script by digging deep into your body’s biochemistry, hormones, nutrition, gut health, and immune responses. It’s a science-based approach that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. Instead of short-term fixes, this method offers real understanding and lasting skin clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is functional medicine different from dermatology for acne?

Will I still need medications or antibiotics?
In many cases, no. Functional medicine often eliminates the need for medications by resolving the root causes that drive acne.
How long until I see results?
Most patients see initial improvements in 4–8 weeks, but full skin healing may take 3–6 months depending on severity and root issues.

Nutrition is one part, but Brandi Terra, NP at Oak & Stone Wellness also uses lab testing, advanced supplementation, lifestyle strategies, and sometimes detox protocols.
What kind of tests are done?
We may test for hormones, blood sugar, stool microbiome, food sensitivities, nutrient levels, and inflammation markers.
Will this help if I’ve already tried everything?
Absolutely. Functional medicine is often the breakthrough for people who’ve “tried everything” because it customizes care based on your biology.
