A large portion of acne and adult acne stems from hormonal imbalance. That makes hormonal acne treatment an effective tool for dealing with acne on the face, back, shoulders, chest or anywhere else on the body.
In essence, when hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are not balanced, they cause your body to react by creating more oil and more acne. The best way to combat this hormonal imbalance is with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Unlike conventional hormone replacement therapy, BHRT uses biologically identical and naturally derivedhormones. These hormones offer a safe, effective solution for treating adult acne. Bio-identical hormones can be delivered in:
Oral contraceptives may also be given as hormonal acne treatment.
If you're suffering from severe acne, it's best to get treated immediately. Acne that is left untreated can quickly result in unsightly acne scars. If you're interested in treating your acne with bioidentical hormones or an alternate treatment, please call (408) 946-9453 or contact us online.
