Stress, Skin & the Nervous System: Advanced Solutions for Inflammation, Pigmentation & Aging

Session details:

The skin is more than a physical barrier—it is a dynamic neuroendocrine organ that communicates constantly with the brain and nervous system.

This advanced class examines how stress, emotions, and neurological pathways influence skin health and appearance. Drawing on psychodermatology and neurocosmetic science, attendees will learn how neurotransmitters, hormones, and immune responses in the skin interact with the brain. We will explore how chronic stress, trauma, and environmental triggers contribute to inflammatory skin conditions, pigmentation disorders, and accelerated aging—and how to design protocols that support both skin and nervous system balance.

Participants will learn to:

1. Explain the skin’s role as a neuroendocrine organ.

2. Identify key neurotransmitters, hormones, and pathways linking the brain and skin.

3. Recognize the impact of stress and nervous system dysregulation on skin disorders.

4. Assess for signs of neuroendocrine imbalance in clients.

5. Incorporate treatment strategies that address skin and nervous system regulation.

6. Create holistic protocols that consider emotional wellness, lifestyle, and neuroendocrine health.

Expect to leave with protocol ideas, assessment tips, and strategies you can use right away to help clients with stress-induced skin issues, pigmentation concerns, and premature aging.
