One of the most important building blocks of emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing is hormone health. Estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones control everything from your appetite and mood to hair growth and cellular turnover. But when hormones become out of balance, your skin will let you know!
Unruly breakouts, oily skin, and excess hair are all controlled by hormones. To minimize the impact of these imbalances, Dundee Dermatology offers comprehensive hormonal acne treatment in Elgin.
The Building Blocks of Better Skin
At Dundee Dermatology, we take a comprehensive approach to reducing hormonal acne-related concerns. This starts with a complete examination of your skin health to determine your unique skin type and any underlying causes of acne.
Through a VISIA skin analysis and a personalized consultation, we can determine your current oil production and look into your pores to trace your symptoms to hormonal acne. Based on your unique condition, we’ll build your custom treatment plan to tackle any acne related to your hormones.
Chemical Peels
Often, we recommend you refresh acne-ridden skin with a chemical peel! Your ideal peel depends on the severity of your condition and the sensitivity of your skin. For redness and irritation concerns, we offer light AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peels with low impact to sensitive skin. While these are highly effective, they do require multiple sessions before you see full results.
For a more in-depth approach to your hormonal acne treatment in Elgin, our medium TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels take a deeper approach to resolve breakouts. This peel focuses on underlying layers of the skin, which results in more skin sloughing and downtime than a light peel.
Chemical peels are a great way to resolve many types of acne, clear pores, and control oil production. Learn more about how we treat some of the toughest teenage acne concerns with this related read.

HydraFacial
For a custom, hydrating approach to hormonal acne treatment in Elgin, we look to HydraFacial. This treatment includes a chemical peel in addition to thorough extraction and balancing serums to promote total skin health. Here’s what you can expect!
Cleanse & Peel
As hormones like testosterone can result in an overproduction of oil and sebum, we begin this treatment with a deep cleanse. We then apply a chemical peel to clear pores of dead skin, debris, and excess sebum.
Exfoliate & Clear
Next, our HydraFacial machine uses a unique extraction tip to deeply clear the skin. With HydraFacial’s advanced Vortex-Fusion Technology, the applicator extracts oil or debris from deep within the skin to refresh your pores to a deeper level than any cleanse or peel can!
Boost & Protect
To complete your Hydrafacial, our specialists select an infusion from over 25 options based on your unique needs. For hormonal acne treatment in Elgin, we usually recommend hydration boosters to naturally regulate oil production.
This entire process takes under an hour, and your specialist will schedule regular follow-ups as needed to achieve complete results.
