Jawline breakouts, cystic acne, or acne that showed up well after your teenage years usually points to something hormonal — and skincare alone can only do so much about it.
Adult acne is frequently tied to fluctuating androgens, PCOS, perimenopause, chronic stress, and gut health — not just pore-clogging products or poor hygiene, which is where most over-the-counter treatment stops.
Because the underlying driver is often hormonal, topical treatments and standard skincare routines can improve the surface without resolving what's actually causing the breakouts to keep coming back.
We check hormone levels to identify what's driving the breakouts, then coordinate treatment between root-cause hormone care and in-office skin treatments — so you're not just managing the surface.
In-office treatment for active breakouts and skin health, coordinated with your medical care.
