What is Hormonal Acne?
Hormonal acne is a genetic skin condition triggered by hormonal changes, particularly androgens like testosterone. It affects both teenagers and adults, commonly targeting areas such as the jawline, chin, cheeks, and neck. Unlike regular acne, hormonal acne is more severe, characterized by deep, cystic, and inflamed lesions that often resist over-the-counter treatments.
If you’ve tried everything and still experience breakouts, professional med spa treatments at Prime Med Spa can help restore hormonal balance and improve your skin’s appearance.
Causes?
Several factors contribute to the development of hormonal acne:
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Androgens, estrogen, or cortisol imbalances can increase oil production, leading to clogged pores.
- Menstrual Cycle & Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy often trigger acne in women.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This hormonal disorder is linked to elevated testosterone levels, which can cause acne.
- Stress & Cortisol: Stress increases cortisol levels, leading to inflammation and excess oil production.
- Diet & Blood Sugar Spikes: Foods like sugary items, dairy, and processed foods can cause insulin spikes, worsening acne.
- Birth Control Pills & Hormonal Medications: Certain contraceptives and hormonal medications may either improve or exacerbate acne, depending on their composition.
💡 Did You Know? Hormonal acne often appears as painful, deep cysts that rarely surface as typical pimples.
