Hormonal Acne Treatment & Consultation in North York
Hormonal acne doesn’t just come and go — it often follows a pattern.
These breakouts are typically deeper, more painful, and tend to appear around the jawline, chin, and lower face. They can persist into adulthood and may not respond to regular skincare products.
Even when you’re doing everything “right,” hormonal acne can continue — because the root cause is internal, not just surface-level.
Why Hormonal Acne Happens
Hormonal acne is triggered by fluctuations in your body’s hormones — particularly androgens, which can increase oil (sebum) production and clog pores.
This type of acne is often recurring and can be influenced by lifestyle, stress, and natural hormonal cycles.
Common triggers include:
- Menstrual cycle fluctuations
- Stress and cortisol imbalance
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Pregnancy or postpartum changes
- Starting or stopping birth control
- Poor sleep and diet factors
A Targeted Approach: Hormonal Acne Treatment
Hormonal acne requires more than temporary solutions — it needs a structured plan that addresses both internal triggers and skin behavior over time.
Because this type of acne is recurring and inflammation-driven, treatment focuses on calming the skin, controlling breakouts, and maintaining long-term balance.
CLEAR
The goal is to stabilize your skin and create a clean foundation for further treatment.
CORRECT
Targeted treatments help rebalance the skin and minimize recurring flare-ups.
CONTAIN
This step is essential for long-term control of hormonal acne.
