Clinical & Hormonal Tests

Blood and hormone assessments to optimise your skin health

Clinical, blood and hormonal tests play a vital role in assessing your skin health. We offer a range of tests to identify internal factors that may affect the appearance and condition of your skin.

Blood tests for skin health

We offer specific tests, such as Immupro (IgG food allergy test), to identify food sensitivities that may affect your skin. The results help you tailor your food choices to your individual reactions. We also offer tests to assess vitamin levels and screen for hormonal abnormalities, such as thyroid imbalances, that can impact the health of your skin.

Hormone Management for Skin

Hormonal imbalances can cause a variety of skin issues. We offer estrogen or anti-androgen treatments to treat acne, as well as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) solutions for perimenopausal or menopausal skin symptoms, such as dry skin.

Estrogen has several effects on the skin and hair. The skin becomes thinner, has less collagen, is dehydrated and loses its structure, while the hair becomes finer.

We may need to check blood samples for LH and FSH and other hormones such as TSH if menopausal symptoms appear earlier.

It is up to you to decide, after an informed discussion of the health benefits and risks, whether you decide to take hormone replacement therapy, usually transdermal (estrogen patches or gel) to reduce the risk of thrombosis.

After an in-person or online consultation, a prescription can be issued for use in Switzerland after fully informed consent.

If necessary, we also adjust thyroxine levels to optimise your skin health.

These assessments allow for a personalized and holistic approach, aimed at improving the appearance of your skin by treating the underlying causes for lasting and effective results.
