WHAT IS HOLISTIC DERMATOLOGY?

Dr Shammi Theesan is pioneering the shift towards holistic dermatology with her Melbourne based Dermatology practice ODE Dermatology. The transformative approach of ODE combines modern medicine, advanced science, and cutting edge technology together with wellness and self-care protocols to address long term, whole-body health.

Holistic Dermatology is a specialised field of medicine that bids farewell to the prescription-first approach, which often treats the symptom, rather than the underlying cause itself. “Patients often see clinicians who treat a medical condition but miss the art of aesthetics. Or they may focus purely on aesthetics but miss the pre-existing medical condition,” she notes. For those of us who have suffered with debilitating skin conditions such as acne, melasma or pigmentation, we know it can be an isolating experience, which is why Dr Shammi’s world-class medical experience, paired with her deep patient compassion to treat the whole person, demonstrates a new shift towards traditional Dermatology.

Dr Shammi Theesan studied a Bachelor of Science, a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at The University of Melbourne, and was then accepted into the prestigious Harvard University to research genetics and epigenetics.
