Hyperpigmentation takes much longer to address than most other skin issues, but approaching treatment from a holistic base can ensure long-term success, not necessarily perfection. This mindset can take some getting used to for most. Mostly due to society’s unattainable beauty standards made popular by media consumption, it should be said that healthy skin does not equal flawless skin.
“Holistic” is an ambiguous term used as a part of a shift in consciousness to return to nature. However, a holistic aesthetics practice is much more than “natural” products. A holistic approach looks at the whole being working together to support harmony and homeostasis. In the treatment room, it can include symptom management with ingredients that work to support the entire body but generally address the root cause of an imbalance. Often, products with specific ingredients (or without particular ingredients) are chosen to avoid other disruptions elsewhere. In addition, holism generally implies a look at how all the other systems in the body affect skin, even emotional and energetic effects.
