Shine Functional Dermatology

Phototherapy for eczema and dermatitis is a core offering at Shine Functional Dermatology on E Street in Lincoln. The practice follows a root-cause approach, combining conventional dermatology with functional medicine and functional testing to identify internal imbalances and restore healthy skin. Led by Dr. Katie Varman, MD, FAAD—a dermatologist and functional medicine practitioner trained at the University of North Carolina who previously practiced with Kaiser-Permanente—the clinic emphasizes education, support, and lifestyle medicine. ShineWell Functional Dermatology memberships are available for functional services, and phototherapy is presented as a valued non-pharmacologic treatment option. Guiding patients through identification and management of chronic skin concerns is described as the practice’s most rewarding work.
