Hormonal Acne and How to Treat It with Medical Aesthetics

June 25, 2025

If you’ve ever dealt with breakouts around your jawline, chin, or cheeks, especially before your period, after stopping birth control, or during high-stress periods—you’re likely dealing with hormonal acne.

And while it’s stubborn, it’s not untreatable.

At Dream Spa Medical, we take a multi-layered approach that addresses both the internal triggers and the external symptoms.

What causes hormonal acne?

  • Fluctuating estrogen and testosterone
  • High cortisol (stress) levels
  • Diet or lifestyle changes
  • PCOS, thyroid issues, or menstrual cycle shifts

How we treat it:

  • Custom facials with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial products
  • LED blue light therapy to kill acne-causing bacteria
  • Exosome or peptide treatments to reduce scarring
  • Medical-grade topicals like retinoids or niacinamide
  • Collaboration with your PCP or OB-GYN if needed

Home care is key

We’ll help you build a routine with clean, effective ingredients that support barrier health and reduce flare-ups. Acne doesn’t define you, but it can absolutely be treated. Book a consult and let’s map out a plan that works for your skin.
