Skin Health + Supplement Consultation
Description
Healthy skin is built from the inside out.
Your skin reflects what is happening inside your body. Inflammation, gut health, nutrient gaps, hormones and lifestyle all affect how your skin looks, recovers and responds to treatment. Our Skin Health + Supplement program focuses on these internal factors and builds a personalized supplement plan to support your skin from within, so the results of your clinical treatments and home care go further and last longer.
The gut–skin connection
Your gut and your skin are in constant conversation. Digestive health plays an important role in immune regulation, inflammation and nutrient absorption, and imbalances can contribute to inflammatory skin concerns such as acne, rosacea and eczema. Supporting what is happening inside, with the right nutrients and professional-grade supplements, helps your skin renew and respond better to treatment.
Internal factors we look at
- Inflammation, a common driver behind breakouts, redness and pigmentation
- Gut health and the balance of your microbiome
- Nutrient gaps that limit collagen production and barrier repair
- Hormones and how they show up in your skin
- Medications, stress and lifestyle that affect how your skin behaves
Skin Health + Supplement Consultation
Your provider will review your health history, current medications and supplements, skincare routine, diet and lifestyle to identify the internal factors that may be contributing to your skin concerns. Your plan starts with a foundation of professional-grade Designs for Health supplements, with targeted support added for your primary concern. Supplements are introduced gradually so we can track how your skin responds.
Commonly recommended for:
- Acne, congestion or recurring breakouts
- Rosacea, flushing or persistent redness
- Pigmentation, melasma or post-inflammatory marks
- Dryness, sensitivity or a compromised skin barrier
- Dullness, fine lines or loss of firmness
- Supporting recovery and results after treatments
Consultation fee: $150 plus GST, with $50 redeemable toward products purchased on the day of your appointment.

Skin Health + Supplement Follow-Up
Once your foundation supplements are in place, your follow-up is where your plan is refined. Your provider will review how your skin has responded, check how consistently you have been taking your supplements, add or adjust targeted support for your primary concern, and reassess any internal factors that have changed, such as new medications, stress or hormonal shifts.
We recommend a follow-up every 4 to 6 weeks while you are building your plan. Follow-up fee: $50 plus GST, fully redeemable toward products within 30 days of your appointment.

How the program works
- Health history. Complete your intake form and bring a list of all current medications and supplements.
- Assessment. Your provider reviews your skin concerns, routine, diet, lifestyle and internal factors.
- Foundation first. Most patients start with a core foundation that supports cellular energy, the gut microbiome, a healthy inflammatory response, the skin barrier and tissue repair.
- Targeted support. Based on your primary concern, your provider may add targeted supplements one at a time.
- Follow-up. We reassess every 4 to 6 weeks. Internal support takes time, so plan on a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use alongside your clinical treatments.
The foundation
Every plan is personalized, but most begin with five areas of support:
- NAD+ support for cellular energy and repair
- A high-potency probiotic to support a balanced gut microbiome
- Omega-3s to support a healthy inflammatory response and skin barrier
- Vitamin C, which your body needs to make collagen
- Protein, the building blocks for collagen, elastin and tissue repair
All supplements are professional-grade products from Designs for Health, available through the Raw Canvas dispensary. Shop gut and health products.
