Acne

Acne is a very common skin condition, affecting around 85% of adolescents around the world, and commonly continuing into adulthood, affecting millions of people into their 20s and 30s.
It causes significant emotional and psychological distress, not to mention the financial burden of paying for prescriptions, over the counter products, and cosmetologists' services, getting short time improvements at best.

Conventional medicine usually offers symptomatic treatment, recommending lotions and washes, popping or pricking pimples, and prescribing antibiotics or other strong medicines with dangerous side effects.

Functional Medicine, which addresses the root causes of the problems, provides the understanding that there are multiple causes that contribute to acne.
These causes include stress, toxicity, poor nutrition, inflammation, gut imbalances, and hormonal abnormalities.
Fortunately, there are strategies that almost always help to overcome the struggle with acne. Individually tailored dietary adjustments, correcting gut flora, hormonal and nutritional imbalances, guided by clinical and laboratory evaluations, managing stress levels, and making wise lifestyle choices, can help you get your healthy and vibrant skin back.
