While acne has long been viewed as a condition of the pilosebaceousunit, accumulating evidence indicates that it may also be a result of systemic factors driving inflammation. These drivers include stress, hormones, diet and metabolism, skin and gut microbiome, oxidative stress, and immune function. Considering these targets on a systems-wide level could provide new approaches in managing acne. This master class discusses the evidence supporting the role of the six factors in the development of acne. It also presents clinical results from the use of a novel nutraceutical which addresses these root causes in subjects with non-cystic acne.

This master class will delve into the intricacies of DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) testing, providing a deep dive into how to interpret the DUTCH test and the certain markers that are indicative in the pathogenesis of acne. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of how this testing method can inform treatment strategies for improved patient outcomes. Following the lecture, LearnSkin certificate program chairs will share information on our Integrative Dermatology Certificate Program (IDCP) and tips for advancing your integrative dermatology practice.
