Case Studies for
Chronic Skin Conditions
Some skin conditions require more than a prescription. They need a personalized care plan that evolves with you, supports long-term healing, and restores both comfort and confidence. At Murray Dermatology, we offer something unique: medical dermatology and advanced aesthetic treatments working together to treat chronic skin conditions more holistically.
​
With Dr. James Murray leading clinical diagnosis and medical treatment, and Christa Murray and the Brilliant Skin & Laser team delivering expert aesthetic care, our patients benefit from a fully integrated approach. This combination allows us to address not only the root cause of chronic skin conditions, but also the visible impact on daily life. It's an approach that has helped patients with acne, eczema, rosacea, lupus, and more experience lasting relief and renewed confidence.

Skin Success Stories: What Tailored, Collaborative Care Can Achieve
Patient: Mary, 70s
Advanced Aging Reversal with Rosacea
“In my seventh decade, after a lifetime of acne, rosacea, and sun damage, I decided to do something kind for myself. I met with Christa and felt hope from the very first conversation. She listened. She understood.
​
Together with Dr. Murray and the team, she created a care plan that felt thoughtful and personal. Over six months, we combined nourishing facials, laser treatments, and custom skincare.
​
I began to notice real change, and so did my friends. Looking in the mirror no longer felt discouraging. My skin looks smoother, brighter, and healthier. Most of all, I feel like myself again.” - Mary

Chronic Skin Condition Recovery
“After an allergic reaction to my dog and an ongoing struggle with psoriasis, my skin was in crisis. I felt physically uncomfortable and emotionally drained.
​
Dr. Murray and Christa took the time to listen and understand what I was going through. With their care and a plan tailored to my needs, my skin began to heal.
​
The redness faded, my rosacea calmed down, and my face no longer felt like a battle zone. I see clients every day, and it means everything to feel confident again. Thank you for helping me feel like myself.”

Why Integrated Care Matters
Chronic skin conditions are often complex and ever-changing. They require more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
​
At Murray Dermatology, we believe in working together—bringing medical dermatology and aesthetic therapy into a single, personalized care experience. This flexibility allows us to adjust treatments as your skin improves and your needs evolve.
​
Many of our patients tell us this is the first time they’ve felt truly heard and supported. That is what drives us every day.
​
If you’re living with a skin condition and looking for a new way forward, we invite you to start your journey with us.
