Jawline breakouts, cystic acne, hormonal flare-ups around your cycle -- over-the-counter products only go so far when the real driver is hormonal or internal. We evaluate what's actually causing your acne and build a treatment plan around it, not just another cleanser.
We start by figuring out which type (or combination) you're dealing with, since the right treatment depends on it.
Breakouts along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks that flare around your cycle -- often driven by androgens and sometimes linked to PCOS.
Deep, painful, under-the-skin breakouts that don't come to a head and often leave marks or scarring if left untreated.
Acne that shows up (or comes back) well past your teenage years, frequently tied to hormones, stress, or medication changes.
If you're past your teens and still breaking out -- especially along the jawline or chin, or in a pattern that tracks with your cycle -- there's usually more going on than skin care alone can fix. Excess androgens, insulin resistance, and thyroid dysfunction are all common, treatable drivers.
We start with a real evaluation, not a guess, so treatment actually targets what's causing your breakouts.
We treat the cause, not just the current breakout.
Brittany reviews your skin history, cycle, and any patterns to your breakouts.
If a hormonal cause is suspected, we order relevant labs -- androgens, insulin, or thyroid markers as needed.
We build a plan that can include prescription topicals, oral medications, or hormonal treatment depending on the cause.
Acne treatment takes weeks to show results. We adjust your plan as your skin responds.
If your acne is connected to PCOS, thyroid issues, or another underlying condition, Happy Health Clinic's DPC membership includes at-cost labs and ongoing provider access to manage it all together.
