Hormonal Acne: What Actually Works

What Is Hormonal Acne?

Hormonal acne presents differently than teenage breakouts. It’s usually:

  • Located on the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks
  • Deep, painful, or cystic in nature
  • Associated with PCOS, thyroid disorders, or post-pill rebound
  • Triggered by stress, poor sleep, or high-sugar diets
  • Resistant to standard over-the-counter acne products

At The Eterne Clinic, we often see this pattern in women aged 25–45 — though adult hormonal acne also affects men, especially due to testosterone fluctuations or high-glycemic eating habits.

Why Topicals Alone Aren’t Enough

Most face washes and spot treatments only address the surface — but hormonal acne runs deeper. The root causes often involve androgens, insulin resistance, cortisol, or chronic inflammation.

That’s why we developed the Klear Protocol — a comprehensive, evidence-based program targeting active breakouts, pigmentation, and acne prevention at the source.

Klear Protocol – Hormonal Acne Treatments That Work

Klear Anti-Acne Drip

An IV infusion packed with skin-clearing actives like glutathione, zinc, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

  • Reduces oxidative stress
  • Supports liver detoxification (especially in PCOS)
  • Promotes even skin tone from within

Klear Anti-Acne Clean-Up & Peel

A targeted dermatologist-performed treatment that:

  • Removes clogged pores and comedones
  • Calms inflammation and swelling
  • Uses salicylic and mandelic peels for gentle exfoliation

Clarifying Carbon Laser Facial – Powered by Radianz

This zero-downtime facial uses Q-Switched Nd:YAG technology and carbon lotion to:

  • Absorb oil and impurities from pores
  • Vaporize acne-causing debris with laser bursts
  • Refine texture and reduce post-acne scars

Lumecca IPL Treatment for Acne

When adjusted for acne-prone skin, IPL therapy:

  • Targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria
  • Reduces redness and vascular breakouts
  • Improves skin clarity and post-acne marks

High-Frequency Wand Therapy

This gentle tool uses low electrical currents to:

  • Disinfect skin after extractions
  • Dry out active whiteheads
  • Prevent future bacterial overgrowth

Klear Anti-Acne Facial

A skin-calming, medical facial designed to:

  • Detoxify pores using enzymes and AHAs
  • Rehydrate skin with non-comedogenic masks
  • Support barrier function for sensitive, acne-prone skin

Unlike regular spa facials, this one works with your skin cycle — not against it.

Tailored for Your Skin – Not Just a Trend

Every hormonal acne treatment plan at The Eterne Clinic is personalised after a detailed review of your:

  • Hormonal and metabolic profile
  • Skin type and sensitivity level
  • Inflammation markers and lifestyle factors
  • Medical history including PCOS, thyroid issues, or chronic stress

We also track your progress through professional photographs and clinical evaluations — not just the mirror.

FAQs – Hormonal Acne Treatments in Mumbai

Facials help strengthen the skin barrier and calm inflammation — but for long-term results, we combine them with IV drips, peels, and hormonal support. Treating from within is key.

Yes — carbon laser is highly effective for oily and acne-prone skin. It decongests pores, smoothens texture, and fades acne marks without downtime.

Most describe it as a warm, snapping sensation — very tolerable. There’s no downtime, and you can resume your day right after.

It depends on your skin’s condition. Most patients need 4–6 sessions spaced over 2–3 months, along with skincare and nutritional guidance.

Absolutely. Male hormonal acne is often linked to excess oil and testosterone fluctuations — and we tailor treatments accordingly.
