Clear Acne & Stop Unwanted Hair Growth

Many individuals have noticed a problem with acne in conjunction with unwanted hair growth and have wondered if there was a correlation. There is definitely a correlation, and this is a medical condition that can be corrected by balancing male/female hormones. A dermatologist or general healthcare practitioner can determine whether you have a hormone imbalance by running a few simple blood tests. People suffer unnecessarily and feel shame for a condition that is biologically based, and relatively easy to address.

Clear Acne and Stop Unwanted Hair Growth

1. 

   Visit a trusted dermatologist for a complete medical examination. Most cases of acne, in conjunction with unwanted facial hair, involve an imbalance in the male hormone testosterone.

2. Your dermatologist will run a hormone panel in order to determine base levels of your reproductive hormones. This may include a panel that checks testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and androgen levels.

3. When your test results are returned, they should show higher than average levels of male hormones, which will need to be lowered and counterbalanced. The process of balancing hormones is not a quick fix and can take several months for the effects to be noticed.

4. In the meantime, your doctor can prescribe professional strength acne medications, such as Differen, in order to help clear existing acne. Over time, excess facial hair will fall out once hormones have reached balanced, optimal levels.

5. Contact your healthcare physician and have your hormone panels rechecked periodically. Also check with a certified esthetician to have your skin evaluated to create a personalized skincare regimen that is designed for your specific skin type. Proper medical evaluation and a personalized skincare plan should get you on the road to recovery within a few short months. The benefits will last a lifetime.
