Acne, Aging & Hormonal Skin Support: A Holistic Approach
As we navigate different stages of life, our hormones naturally shift, often bringing changes in our skin. Breakouts, dullness, and early signs of aging can feel frustrating, especially when your skincare routine isn’t cutting it. Feeling confident in your skin starts with understanding the deeper connection between hormonal balance, inflammation, and aging. That’s why taking a comprehensive approach to skin health, combining science with thoughtful, personalized care, is key.
Understanding Hormonal Skin Changes
Whether you’re transitioning off birth control, entering perimenopause, or simply feeling the effects of stress, hormones can impact your skin more than you think.
Common signs of hormonally influenced skin include:
Adult acne or breakouts around the chin and jawline
Increased sensitivity and redness
Skin dullness or uneven tone
Early fine lines or crepey texture
These skin concerns can often overlap with inflammation and changes in sleep or stress levels. That’s why targeting the root cause matters.
A Multi-Modal Approach to Treating Hormonal & Aging Skin
Because our Whitby location is inside of Brooklin Village Beauty and Wellness, we proudly collaborate with in-house Naturopathic Doctor Dr. Lindsay Self, who offers facial acupuncture as part of a comprehensive wellness approach.
Facial acupuncture is a holistic, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation that stimulates the body's natural healing processes. It works on multiple levels:
Local Benefits: Increases blood circulation, promotes collagen production, and improves muscle tone and elasticity. These effects help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, while enhancing skin's overall texture and radiance.
Internal Benefits: Balances internal organ function and energy flow (Qi), addressing underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances and stress.
After six sessions of weekly facial acupuncture treatments, S experienced significant improvements:
Skin Texture and Appearance: Noticeable reduction in acne and scarring, with a more radiant and youthful complexion.
Wrinkle Reduction: Decreased visibility of forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet, complementing her regular Botox treatments.
Improved Sleep: Better sleep quality and less frequent early awakenings
Stress Management: Enhanced emotional well-being and stress resilience, leading to a more balanced hormonal state.
When Botox, Skinboosters, and Facial Acupuncture are combined, you're taking a powerful, full-circle approach to skin and overall wellness. Botox targets muscle tension and softens expression lines, while Skinboosters deeply hydrate and improve the quality of the skin, especially in areas Botox can’t treat. Facial acupuncture complements both by supporting hormonal balance and enhancing circulation.
✔️ Botox relaxes the muscles that causes wrinkles to be eteched in over time
✔️ Skinboosters (non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid) improve skin elasticity, texture, and hydration—especially in the lower face
✔️ Facial Acupuncture enhances internal balance, stress relief, and natural collagen production
Together, they help your entire face age more evenly while supporting internal health
Whether you're struggling with adult acne, hormonal skin changes, or signs of early aging, you don’t have to choose between clinical or natural treatments. We offer a full spectrum of skin solutions tailored to your lifestyle and concerns—from advanced injectables to holistic facial therapies.
