Hormonal acne can pop up at the worst times—just when you’re going through life’s big changes or facing a stressful season, your skin decides to join the party. This type of acne isn’t just frustrating; it’s often stubborn and needs a little extra care and attention. At Bodyworks of Perdido Key, we offer specialized skincare services to help you tackle hormonal acne and bring your skin back into balance, so you can feel confident and refreshed no matter what life throws your way.
Understanding Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne typically flares up around the jawline, chin, and cheeks. It’s driven by hormonal fluctuations, which can happen during times like puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and even when facing major stress. High levels of androgens (like testosterone) can overstimulate oil glands, leading to clogged pores and painful breakouts. While a consistent skincare routine is crucial, professional treatments can make all the difference in managing and calming hormonal acne.
1. HydraFacial: Deep Cleansing and Hydration in One
Our Hydrafacial treatment is a fantastic option for those battling hormonal acne. This gentle but powerful service combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session. Using a unique Vortex-Fusion system, the HydraFacial clears out clogged pores and removes dead skin cells, which are often responsible for those stubborn breakouts. It then delivers targeted serums packed with antioxidants, peptides, and hydration, helping to calm inflamed skin and support the skin’s natural healing process. The result? Clearer, brighter, and more hydrated skin with fewer breakouts.
2. Peels: A Reset for Your Skin
Peels are a go-to for acne-prone skin because they offer a fresh start by gently exfoliating the skin’s surface. We offer a range of peels that target acne and acne scars, with ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid. These peels help slough away dead skin cells, reduce oil production, and minimize the appearance of scars and pigmentation left by hormonal acne. Our estheticians will select the perfect peel for your skin type and acne severity, leaving you with a fresh, even complexion.
3. LED Light Therapy: Targeting Acne at Its Source
For anyone struggling with active breakouts, LED light therapy is a non-invasive, gentle treatment that works wonders on hormonal acne. Blue light therapy targets acne-causing bacteria, while red light reduces inflammation and promotes healing. This combination is especially helpful for people who experience painful, inflamed cystic acne. LED light therapy is an included customization in our facials, offering a calming and effective solution to keep acne under control.
4. High-Frequency Treatment: Bacteria-Fighting Power
Our high-frequency treatment is ideal for quickly treating acne. This technology uses a small, handheld wand that delivers a mild electrical current to the skin, oxygenating the area, and helping to eliminate bacteria. High frequency also boosts circulation, helping your skin recover faster from existing breakouts and reducing the likelihood of future ones. Many clients find it especially effective for reducing the size and pain of cystic acne lesions, making it a lifesaver for those unpredictable hormonal flare-ups. High-Frequency is also an included customization in our facials!!!
5. Skin Care Empowerment Consultations: Your Acne Game Plan
At Bodyworks, we know that no two skins are alike. Hormonal acne often requires a unique approach, so we offer customized skincare consultations to create a personalized treatment plan that works for you. Our estheticians will assess your skin, review your routine, and make recommendations for treatments and at-home products to keep hormonal acne in check. We work with Eminence Organic Skin Care products that offers gentle, effective solutions for acne-prone skin, helping to balance oil production and soothe inflammation without stripping or irritating the skin.
