For many women, menopause brings an unexpected challenge: Acne breakouts. While teenage years might seem far behind, the hormonal shifts during menopause can lead to stubborn adult acne.
This frustrating condition often requires specialized care. At the Women’s Wellness Institute of Dallas, under the direction of Dr. Wesley Anne Brady, a board-certified gynecologic surgeon, we’re here to help you manage these changes with advanced laser acne treatments designed for mature skin.
Find out more about the link between menopause and increased acne breakouts, as well as the benefits of laser acne treatment, below.
Why Menopause Triggers Acne Breakouts
Menopause is a time of hormonal fluctuation. Estrogen levels decrease, while levels of androgens (like testosterone) may remain steady or increase. This can stimulate more oil production in the skin.
Excess oil can clog pores and lead to acne on the chin, jawline, or even back. For women who didn’t experience acne in their younger years, this can be an especially disheartening change.
The Challenges of Treating Middle-Aged Acne
Acne during menopause is frustrating. To make matters worse, mature skin also presents unique challenges.
Mature skin is often more sensitive and less resilient than younger skin. This means it requires a gentler approach to avoid dryness, irritation, or even accelerated aging.
Many over-the-counter acne treatments can be harsh. They strip the skin of necessary moisture, potentially worsening the issue. That’s why the Women’s Wellness Institute of Dallas focuses on advanced treatment options that support acne management and overall skin health.
Laser Acne Treatment: A Targeted Solution
Laser acne treatment offers a tailored approach to managing adult acne breakouts.
These treatments help clear skin without harsh side effects. They target acne-causing bacteria, reduce excess oil, and minimize inflammation.
Laser treatment also stimulates collagen production, enhancing the skin’s firmness and resilience. This is an added benefit that’s especially helpful for mature skin.
