Acne is a common and often frustrating skin condition that can affect people at any stage. While it is commonly associated with puberty, acne can occur well into adulthood, influenced by factors like hormones, stress, diet, and genetics. At Prism Aesthetics, we understand that treating acne requires a comprehensive approach. Our treatments include functional medicine solutions and custom skincare consultations to help address the underlying causes of acne and restore healthy, glowing skin.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. But beneath the surface, there are often multiple factors contributing to acne breakouts, including:
Hormonal Imbalances: Hormones play a significant role in regulating skin health. Fluctuations in hormones—particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or due to certain health conditions—can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores and acne.
Stress: Stress stimulates the production of cortisol, a hormone that can exacerbate acne by increasing inflammation and oil production in the skin. Stress-related acne is particularly common in the chin and jawline area.
Diet and Digestive Health: For some individuals, food sensitivities and an imbalance in gut health can lead to skin issues, including acne. When the gut is inflamed or irritated, it can manifest through the skin, often as acne.
Functional Medicine Approaches at Prism Aesthetics
At Prism Aesthetics, we address acne through a holistic approach, looking at potential internal imbalances that may be contributing to skin issues. Our functional medicine treatments include:
Hormone Testing: Identifying hormone imbalances can be crucial for clients with recurring acne. We can pinpoint specific imbalances by measuring hormone levels and suggest treatments to help regulate hormones, reducing acne over time.
Cortisol Testing: Elevated cortisol levels, often stress-related, can contribute to breakouts. Through cortisol testing, we can determine if stress management or specific therapies are needed to balance cortisol levels and reduce acne symptoms.
GI MAP Food Sensitivity Testing: Food sensitivities can trigger inflammation that may appear as acne. Our GI MAP testing identifies specific foods that might be causing or worsening breakouts, allowing clients to make targeted dietary changes that support clearer skin.
