Common Causes
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The primary causes include hormonal fluctuations that increase sebum production, particularly during puberty, menstrual cycles, or hormonal imbalances. Bacterial overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) contributes to inflammation. Genetics also play a significant role—if your parents had acne, you're more likely to experience it. Additional contributing factors include stress, which can trigger hormonal changes, certain medications, and skincare products that clog pores.
Treatment Options
Effective acne treatment requires a personalized approach based on your specific acne type and severity. Topical treatments include retinoids (like tretinoin) that unclog pores and promote cell turnover, benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria, and salicylic acid to exfoliate. For moderate to severe cases, oral medications such as antibiotics or hormonal therapy may be recommended. Professional treatments like chemical peels, light therapy, or extraction can complement at-home care. Our approach combines these options based on your skin type, lifestyle, and treatment goals, with regular monitoring and adjustments every 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people begin to see improvements within 4-8 weeks of starting a consistent treatment plan. However, significant results typically appear within 3-6 months. The timeline varies based on your acne severity, skin type, and how consistently you follow your treatment plan. We monitor your progress every 2 weeks and adjust your regimen as needed to optimize results.
With proper treatment addressing root causes, many people achieve long-term clear skin. However, acne can recur if underlying factors like hormonal imbalances or lifestyle triggers aren't managed. Our approach focuses on not just clearing current breakouts but establishing a long-term maintenance routine that prevents recurrence. We provide ongoing support and adjustments to help you maintain results.
Yes, you can wear makeup, but it's important to choose non-comedogenic, oil-free products that won't clog pores. Look for products labeled 'non-comedogenic' or 'oil-free.' Always remove makeup thoroughly before bed, and consider using mineral-based foundations which are less likely to cause breakouts. We can recommend specific products that work well with your treatment plan.
Hormonal acne often appears along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks, and may flare up around your menstrual cycle. It's more common in adults and may not respond well to typical over-the-counter treatments. During your consultation, we'll discuss your symptoms, cycle patterns, and may consider hormonal testing if appropriate. Hormonal treatments can be very effective for this type of acne.
