Treatment of Skin Conditions Gosford, Central Coast
The Australasian College of Dermatologists state that over 4% of the Australian population suffer a long-term condition of the skin.
The barriers to accessing support include:
Accessing help can be challenging and individuals are frustrated with the journey including the time it takes to receive a diagnosis, treatment and management
There can be long wait times before seeing a dermatologist
The financial burden for individuals can be overwhelming
Individuals with chronic skin conditions face stigma and discrimination, with a lack of understanding, education and awareness in the broader community about skin conditions.

Take Control of your skin condition
Treating skin conditions requires a comprehensive approach that addresses primary and secondary triggers both internally and externally.
My approach is straightforward, offering an incremental holistic approach that is customised for the personalised treatment of your skin condition
My approach is based on Prof. Tirant’s method, which has been used by practitioners around Australia and Europe for a number of years, achieving very significant treatment success rates.
I have further developed on this method, to
1. Address the triggers which activate and exacerbate episodes (diet, hormonal, stress and lifestyle-related)
2. Treat the symptoms with topical application to relieve physical symptoms from Professor Michael Tirants' range
3. Support the body internally with targeted natural-based “Practitioner Only” medicines
4. Establish long-term solutions to help patients manage their conditions
My Method
-
Using differential diagnosis techniques, I assess your skin's condition
-
I identify the primary triggers that initiated your condition.
I also attempt to identify all the secondary triggers that exacerbate your condition.
These may be present in your environment or related to your lifestyle and / or your diet.
-
I develop a customised treatment plan to bring your skin condition symptoms under control.
There are usually a number of variants in an individual's skin conditions.
As a result, I can have vastly different treatment plans for people suffering from the same condition.
-
I treat your symptoms and address your triggers to help you work towards a long term remission of your skin complaint.
-
I develop a maintenance program to support you in achieving long term remission, if required.
