What Causes Adult Acne?
13Apr 2018

What Causes Adult Acne?  As we age, most people expect to see noticeable changes in their appearance. Loss of muscular structure, fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation are all common problems associated with maturing skin. However, few people expect to struggle with acne. Adults who are suffering from an acne breakout can feel confused. After all, acne is a problem for teenagers, not grownups.

Why Do Adults Get Acne?

Adults can get acne for many reasons. Frustratingly, many of the causes of adult acne are complex, and difficult to treat with simple facial cleansers and chocolate avoidance. Acne is often the result of fluctuation hormones. Teenagers frequently suffer from blemish outbreaks for the very same reason. Adults also have hormonal cycles to contend with. Women may experience an increase in acne during their menstrual cycle; before, during or after a pregnancy; through the onset of menopause and while using birth control. Stress, allergies to cosmetic ingredients, genetics and certain prescription medications can also trigger skin blemishes. Thankfully, pinpointing the exact source of your unique situation doesn't have to be overwhelming. The team at Harley Institute Institute can help provide a customized plan for you to reduce, remove or reverse your adult acne. 

How to Treat Adult Acne 

Recent advancements in science, technology and the skin care industry have provided many new nonsurgical, nonpharmaceutical methods of adult acne treatment. Used alone or in combination, they can eliminate the underlying issues related to a sudden change in skin conditions. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can help regulate and balance hormone levels. Testosterone, progesterone and estrogen all play vital roles inside the body, and low or high levels of either hormone can shift the way your systems function. With HRT in Atlanta, you can finally return to normal levels, and begin to feel like yourself again. Acne that is caused by skin conditions may also be professionally treated with microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser treatments. These methods work to remove layers of dead, dull or sun damaged skin cells. Doing so removes the debris that provides a breeding ground for acne causing bacteria. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels can revitalize and refresh your skin, and laser treatments can target specific areas of acne or acne scarring, for a more even skin tone and texture.
