What My Patients Say

“I have loved participating in the Skin Rehab Program! I received 3 treatments per month customized to meet my skin care needs and goals.  With consistent treatments and home care, my skin is smoother, much more even skin tone (fewer dark spots and redness), firmer, and glows.  It just looks so much healthier!  I’m so happy with the results!”

–Look Better Member

Dr Kai Herman and her staff are amazing!  I have been under Dr Herman’s naturopathic care for years. I fully trust Dr Herman with my medical needs and when I heard she was doing PRP facials, I knew I could also trust her with my face/skin care needs. The procedure itself was seamless and done in a comfortable, relaxed setting.  The downtime was minimal.  The results were impressive.  I noticed tighter, firmer skin and an improved complexion.  This will definitely be part of my anti-aging skin care routine!

–PRP Skin Rejuvenation Patient

“Dr. Herman’s personable and professional demeanor along with her thorough pre and post- treatment information made my laser experience great! She was knowledgable with my specific skin type and gave me a great treatment that had lasting affects beyond what I expected.”

–Skin Care Patient

“Dr. Herman is amazing! I completed 2 laser resurfacing treatments and am loving the results. Many friends and family members have commented on how great my skin looks! Thanks, Dr. Herman!”

–Aesthetic Laser Client

“Dr. Herman is always professional and caring. She has helped me to get my life back in balance and takes the time to really get to know me and understands my individual needs.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“A little over a year ago I noticed thinning and balding areas on my scalp. I was devastated. My hair is my signature and a huge part of my identity. Then I learned about Dr. Herman and that PRP could be used to treat my thinning hair. I’d had it for my knee so I thought, why not!? I’m so glad I did!  My hair is fuller, the thinning areas filled in and my hairline was restored.  Dr. Herman is knowledgeable, gentle, and great to work with.  I consider my case a complete success! No only that, after years of trying to grow out my hair, it is finally super long. I feel gorgeous and I attribute that to Dr. Herman and PRP.

–Hair (and knee) PRP Patient

“I just love Dr. Herman and her staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I really like how caring Dr. Herman is. She takes the time to truly understand my concerns and she includes me in the decision of how to best achieve the healthiest me.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Herman is attentive, smart, and curious – and always sends me away feeling better, with good tips on general well-being, physical and internal health, and self-care. I’m confident I have the support and care I need, and a trusted guide to help find the right answers for myself and my lifestyle. I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Herman!”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Herman thoughtfully and thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and recommended testing and treatments my PCP has never mentioned. I look forward to continuing my care with her.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Herman is amazing! I completed 2 laser resurfacing treatments and am loving the results. Many friends and family members have commented on how great my skin looks! Thanks, Dr. Herman!”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your skin’s health is deeply connected to the health of your Lungs and Liver : 

💨 The Lungs rule the skin
In TCM, your lungs control the skin and pores. If they’re weak or dry, you might see dryness, dullness, or eczema flare-ups.
👉 Nourish your lungs with:
• White foods like pears, almonds, radish
• Hydrating herbs like lily bulb and tremella mushroom
• Deep breathing + fresh air (ditch the screens, take a walk!)

🌿 The Liver controls the flow of Qi and blood
A stagnant liver can lead to breakouts, redness, hormonal acne, and a tired-looking complexion.
👉 Support your liver with:
• Leafy greens (dandelion, spinach, chrysanthemum)
• Sour foods like lemon or hawthorn
• Stress relief! Try journaling, movement, or acupuncture

💧 Bonus tip: Drink warm water with goji berries + chrysanthemum to hydrate the skin, soothe the liver, and clear heat.

💖 Happy Gut = Happy Skin! 💖 📣 We can’t 💖 Happy Gut = Happy Skin! 💖

📣 We can’t stress enough how important the gut-skin axis is!! 

🦠A balanced gut-microbiome makes metabolites like short-chain fatty acids that calm inflammation, energize our cells, & support your skin barrier. 

💥 An out of balance gut microbiome means more inflammation, inflam-aging of the skin, & flare ups like we see in acne, eczema, or psoriasis. 

Keep your gut happy! Research shows
😃 probiotics,
😃 fermented foods,
😃 fiber-rich foods, 
😃 colorful foods,
😃 hydrating
😃 & lowering sugar, processed foods, + dairy (for some) consumption can take care of your gut so it takes care of your skin. 

Nutrition + functional medicine can truly help you glow from within! ✨ ✨
