How to Stop Hormonal Acne: Effective Treatments for Clear, Healthy Skin

Are you frustrated by persistent hormonal acne? Whether you experience mild, moderate, or severe breakouts, Healthy Skin Centre can help you achieve clear, beautiful skin with our STOP Acne Program. Acne affects both men and women, teens, and adults, often leaving scars that can last a lifetime. Learn how to stop hormonal acne with our comprehensive approach and say goodbye to breakouts and hello to clear, healthy skin.

What is Acne?

Acne, often referred to as pimples, occurs when pores get clogged with dead skin, oil, and bacteria. This leads to inflammation, redness, and swelling. As acne heals, it can leave behind dark spots (hyperpigmentation) or scars that may become permanent. Hormonal fluctuations are a major contributor to acne in both teens and adults.

Before and After

What is the STOP Acne Program?

Our STOP Acne Program is designed by the doctors at Healthy Skin Centre to treat acne effectively. STOP stands for:

S – Skincare
T – Topical Medications
O – Oral Prescriptions
P – Prevention of Acne Scars + Perfect Skin

This holistic program tackles acne from all angles, addressing the root causes and providing a tailored treatment plan to stop hormonal acne.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is caused by multiple factors, and about 90% of people will experience it at some point. Hormonal changes, oily skin, stress, pollution, bacteria, makeup, inflammation, and diet all play a role. Addressing these factors together is key to effectively stopping hormonal acne and preventing future breakouts.

How to Reduce Acne at Home

While professional treatments can yield the best results, there are steps you can take at home to reduce hormonal acne. Dr. Nasseri recommends the following:

Wash your face twice daily using warm water and a gentle, non-soap cleanser.
Avoid scrubbing your skin as it can aggravate acne.
Don’t pick or squeeze pimples, which can worsen acne and lead to scarring.
Use oil-free and non-comedogenic makeup and skincare products. Oily skin often requires hydration, not a heavy moisturizer.

Can I Treat Hormonal Acne on My Own?

Many people try over-the-counter products without success. If you haven’t achieved the results you’re looking for, consult with our skin care experts. Our team can recommend treatments specifically suited to your skin type and lifestyle, helping you stop hormonal acne effectively.

How is Acne Treated at Healthy Skin Centre?

At Healthy Skin Centre, we offer a variety of treatments to address acne, acne scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by hormonal breakouts. Our STOP Acne Program combines medical-grade skincare, light-based therapies, and prescription medications tailored to your unique skin needs.

Treatments in the STOP Acne Program include:

Medical-Grade Skincare and prescription medications.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for acne.
Collagen PIN Microneedling for acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
Chemical Peels for acne.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation for acne and rosacea.

After a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Nasseri or one of our skin care experts, we’ll develop a custom treatment plan designed to stop hormonal acne and prevent scarring. Regular follow-up appointments every 2-3 months help us adjust your care as needed and keep your skin looking its best.

Can I Treat Hormonal Acne if I Want to Get Pregnant?

Yes, but it’s important to let us know if you’re planning to get pregnant. Some acne medications should be avoided during pregnancy. We’ll adjust your treatment plan to ensure the health of both you and your baby.

Does Diet Affect Hormonal Acne?

While more research is needed, some people notice that certain foods trigger their acne. At Healthy Skin Centre, we can discuss potential dietary triggers that may be contributing to your hormonal acne.

How Much Does It Cost to Treat Hormonal Acne?

Many patients spend hundreds on over-the-counter products or spa treatments with little success. Our STOP Acne Program is designed by doctors to meet your specific skin care needs. With proper care, you’ll see improvement in your skin within 6 weeks.

Initial skincare products cost between $350 and $650 and typically last 3-6 months.
Prescription costs vary between $20 and $200, which may be covered by extended health care plans such as Blue Cross or Great West Life.
Treatments like medical facials, chemical peels, or microneedling may vary in price, but we offer bundled packages to help you save on these treatments.

Investing in professional acne care can help you avoid the long-term costs of untreated acne, such as permanent scarring. Clear, healthy skin is priceless.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Love the personalized service! Everyone genuinely cares about your concerns no matter how small. I just go for acne care and they’re the best! Got rid of my stubborn adult acne without taking any pills or oral chemicals

Simran M.

I had the pleasure of visiting Healthy Skin Centre and met with Dr. Nasseri and Dal. Very knowledgeable and they took their time to educate me and make good recommendations on what I needed to do to clear my acne and treat my fine lines and wrinkles with Botox and filler. Safe and beautiful environment. I would recommend Healthy Skin Centre and look forward to my next visit.

Susan J.

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made to come to HSC. I had sudden adult acne for 18 months straight, which was painful and ruining the texture of my skin. I felt like my skin was out of control and I felt so helpless. After following Dr. Lili Nasseri's skincare plan, I saw improvements within the first month. It's almost been a year, and I feel like I've finally regained control over my skin again. I cannot thank the HSC team enough. It's such a wonderful thing that you guys do, by helping patients regain their confidence and health. I respect that very much.

At my visits, I've seen Dr. L Nasseri and Dal, and they are both friendly, respectful, and professional. Truly the best!

I had a very nice experience visiting Healthy Skin Center in New Westminster. I saw a big difference on my face after following the routine and using the products Dal Badesha suggested for my acne skin.

Oiha H.

I had acne and ance scars on my face from past 7 to 8 years, I found HSC on google and decided to go here. I am glad that I did. From the very first appointment I started to see the difference in my skin. Today after almost 6 months of treatment, my skin is really clear. Overall it has been a wonderful experience. Everyone at HSC is great, but I would especially like to thank Dal for all her help, support and guidance. You are super awesome Dal. Keep going.

Parbhjit K.

I have been dealing with acne for more than 15 years now. I have tried everything I can to prevent acne. My family doctor told me that I might have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I was so heartbroken I almost gave up. One day I decided to see a dermatologist, and that's when I found Dr. Nasseri’s clinic. I made an appointment with the client coordinator Dal Badesha. Since I met her, my skin has changed drastically. She put together a simple skincare regime for me, according to my skin. She is so supportive and actually cares about her clients. I have a long way to go, but I’m confident that I'll have clear skin one day.
Healthy Skin Clinic is a great place to go if you have any skin problems.
