Yin Yang Dermatology

Oct 31st, 2023

Came to YIn Yang to for the first time and Im hooked. I started with a facial from Maria. The facial massage was just incredible, I was so relaxed,the oils and technique she used were something Ive never experienced the Gua Sha style massage she gave me helps with facial countouring and removing puffiness from the tissue, again just incredible. If youve never had this style of facial I highly recommend it. Next I received some cosmetic acupuncture from Toni. Ive never even heard of this before, and all I can say is wow. As someone who is afraid of needles I never even noticed when they went in. Toni was amazing when placing them in my skin, it was so effortless. The results of these treatments were just so unexpected. My puffiness was gone, my skin was absolutely vibrant and glowing, I honestly looked 10 years younger. So if you want naturally great looking skin get yourself into Yin Yang to see these ladies.

I've been undergoing herbal treatment with Toni for ~9 weeks now. We've been working on improving blood + Qi flow, as well as blood strengthening to help with what western Dermatology would diagnose as early signs of rosacea on the face, folliculitis on back/shoulders, and general blood circulation issues. Within the first week of taking the herbal teas, my skin conditions improved tremendously. The flareups/red hot skin inflammation I was experiencing on my face from light and sun exposure, and the chronic bruising and skin tenderness that I've had on my shins for years (that I thought I'd need to accept as my fate) have all but dissolved. There is no denying the effectiveness of the treatment as skin is something you can see. I'm thrilled I found Toni. The reason I was drawn to her over other TCM doctors in the area was because of her background in western Dermatology and her education/mentorships with TCMa very holistic, well-rounded background. On top of that, it's incredibly comfortable to speak with her. I only deduct one star from the rating simply because of the cost + packaging. The herbs are much much pricier than what I'm used to, in part due to how they're processed & packaged. They're shipped in individually-packaged plastic pouches, to be consumed 2x/day and I wish they could be sent in one larger bottle or bag that the patient could measure out themselves for the individual portions. The plastic use just makes me cringe a little! Overall, a super positive experience thus far, and I intend on continuing treatment until I feel my condition has come back into balance.

I have suffered with psoriasis for over 30 years. I simply lived with the annoying symptoms because taking prescription medications with horrible side effects was never going to be an option! Im not sure why it took me so long to consider holistic measures to treat my symptoms but I finally decided to do so. My research led me to speaking with a dermatologist in California who highly recommended Dr. Toni Balfour at Yin Yang Dermatology. Following an extensive telehealth visit Toni sent me my first batch of herbal tea. I had noticeable improvements in my skin and scalp after day 1. My psoriasis has continued to consistently improve and is now 95% gone. My skin and scalp feel calm! Finding Toni has been life changing! Toni is not only extremely knowledge but caring and compassionate as well! At one point I had emailed her a question and she called me back personally to discuss! During the telehealth visits she is always kind and easy to talk to! She takes an interest in your life as a whole! I also want to express my sincere thanks to Sherri (the office manager). She is kind, caring and always helpful! My invoices are emailed immediately. Any questions are always answered by her either personally via phone or email! Making appointments/payments is extremely user friendly! Yin Yang Dermatology is AMAZING! There are no words to express how grateful I am to Toni for the help she has given me!!! The symptoms of psoriasis simply became a part of my daily life and now thanks to Toni I no longer have to deal with them!

Two months after my son was born, his skin started to show signs of eczema. Doctors told me it was going to go away and not to worry. As he got older, it got extremely bad and I had to get some kind of treatment for him. Doctors prescribed steroids for the eczema and antibiotics for his reoccurring staph. Steroids worked most of the time but then they began to lose their effectiveness and the doctor wanted to go stronger. I did not want to do it. I went with a nutritionist to take a more natural route. I was making him all sorts of tinctures, creams etc, nothing was working. By 14 months, I spent SO much money, tried EVERYTHING people recommended and nothing worked. To make things worse, staph covered his entire body. It was a nightmare. My sister then told me about a woman named Toni who was helping her at yin and yang dermatology. I was skeptical because i didnt believe in Chinese medicine. For four months she begged me to go and finally i did. Well all i can say is that Toni saved me emotionally ( bc i cried daily looking at my son scratch and cry) and him physically because his skin is completely clear now. I saw results after a month and now its been 4 months and hes a different child. I cant speak enough about how wonderful Toni is and how amazing her baths and salves are. Please do yourself a favor, if you struggle with eczema, go see Toni!!
