Acne Treatment for Beverly Hills
Acne is the most common skin condition we treat, and it doesn’t discriminate by age. Teenagers dealing with their first breakouts and adults navigating hormonal acne in their thirties and forties end up in the same exam room, often for very different reasons. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists build treatment around what’s actually driving the breakouts rather than reaching for the same regimen for every patient.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, creating an environment where bacteria can thrive. Several factors contribute, including:
- Excess oil production, often driven by hormones
- Clogged pores from dead skin cell buildup
- Cutibacterium acnes, a bacteria that colonizes clogged follicles and triggers inflammation
- Hormonal fluctuations, including puberty, menstrual cycles, and hormonal conditions such as PCOS
- Genetics and family history
Adult-onset acne in particular tends to cluster along the jawline and chin and often points to a hormonal driver rather than the oil-and-bacteria pattern typical of teenage breakouts.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and severity of acne. Options include:
- Topical medications, including antibiotics and retinoids
- Oral medications including antibiotics and hormonal therapies
- Isotretinoin for severe, cystic, or scarring acne that hasn’t responded to other treatment
- In-office treatments such as chemical peels, extractions, and light-based therapy
Why Adult Acne Needs a Different Approach
Acne that shows up for the first time in your late twenties or thirties, or acne that never fully went away after your teens, usually responds poorly to the over-the-counter products built for teenage skin. Our physicians take a hormonal and lifestyle history alongside the exam, since the right treatment for jawline breakouts in a thirty-five-year-old often looks nothing like the right treatment for a sixteen-year-old’s forehead.
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient dealing with active breakouts, whether it’s an occasional flare or persistent acne that hasn’t responded to drugstore products, is a candidate for evaluation. Getting ahead of acne also matters for preventing the scarring that can follow untreated cystic breakouts. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice to build a plan suited to your skin.
