Dr. Rice will review your skin concerns and provide several treatment options to choose from. Standard medical treatment will be reviewed as well as other options including the benefits and drawbacks of each. Sometimes satisfactory results may be achieved simply by changing your cleanser. If the condition cannot be treated in this clinic, you will be provided with a referral to the appropriate physician.
The Pastiche Method
The method of advanced skin analysis used in our clinic is based on the Pastiche method developed by Florence Barrett-Hill. Basically this method ensures the practitioner has a solid knowledge of cellular structure and function. Malfunctions in the function of the cells results in various skin problems. It is by understanding the physiology that an accurate diagnosis and treatment can be achieved. The role of nutrition will be explored. A Naturopath, Dr. Vivian Guy and a Dietician are available for assistance.
Protection of the skin against free radical damage by the sun is a very important part of skin care. Vitamin E and C help to neutralize free radicals and should be combined with high quality sunscreens.
