Hormonal acne, also known as adult acne, affects mature skin. One of the main triggers of hormonal acne is an endocrine disorder. Unfortunately, studies show that this type of imperfection affects women more often than men. Check and compare home remedies for hormonal acne with the treatment methods available in our clinic.
Hormonal acne – how to distinguish it from adolescent acne?
Hormonal acne, unlike adolescent acne, appears after age 25. Skin changes typically manifest as:
- pimples,
- nodules,
- other skin lesions.
The most common skin changes characteristic of hormonal acne occur around the lips and on the chin. Genetically predisposed hormonal acne appears unexpectedly. However, there are situations that promote the development of skin changes, related not only to hormonal imbalances of estrogen and androgens. Such situations include:
- menstruation or PMS,
- constant stress,
- unhealthy lifestyle,
Often, avoiding stress or maintaining a healthy diet is not enough. In that case, it is advisable to seek help from a dermatologist, endocrinologist, or cosmetologist.
How to combat acne – are there home remedies?
Are you a fan of cosmetics, masks, and skin care? Great! However, you should know that common cosmetics and herbs available at pharmacies or online stores are not enough to fight hormonal acne. Care using specialized cosmetics should be a natural extension of dermatological and endocrinological therapy, as well as cosmetic treatments!
How to treat acne?
Steroid acne treatment involves various methods, including dermatological or endocrinological therapy consisting of tablets and ointments, laser acne removal, and special facial cleansing.
Our clinic offers professional treatments for hormonal acne such as Alma Harmony XL PRO and Dermaquest skin cleansing, to help eliminate the problem.
Laser acne removal
The laser procedure on the Alma Harmony Pro-Acne platform works on all types of acne, from common to rosacea. The treatment involves using a laser beam on all skin layers, reaching the deepest ones. As a result, it helps regulate the skin, eliminating factors causing skin changes. The advantage of laser acne removal is safety. The device does not damage healthy tissue.
Laser treatment is not only designed for the face but also for other areas affected by acne. The Alma Harmony XL-Pro treatment is suitable for all skin types and is very quick, lasting about 30 minutes.
DermaQuest skin cleansing
The DermaQuest procedure is a chemical peel that aims to clean the facial skin. In our clinic, we perform two types of peels:
Pumpkin peel: an enzymatic peel designed especially for sensitive and couperose skin. It does not irritate the skin, works gently, and prevents excessive sebum production, characteristic of oily skin, as well as inflammatory and purulent conditions.
Jensner peel: combines salicylic acid and lactic acid, positively affecting seborrheic and red skin caused by excessive sun exposure. The Jensner peel eliminates inflammatory conditions, discolorations, and acne scars.
There is no need to keep suffering from hormonal acne with home remedies any longer. At our clinic, we can help you choose the appropriate treatment tailored to your skin’s needs.
