Acne is more than just a surface-level concern—it’s often a sign of underlying imbalances in the body. Our team at Columbus OBGYN takes the time to understand your personal history with acne, identifying the root causes that may be contributing to persistent breakouts. By addressing these underlying factors, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to support long-term skin health.
Acne can be triggered by a variety of internal and external factors, including hormone imbalances, inflammation, gut health issues, and lifestyle habits. During your visit, we conduct a thorough assessment of your health history, diet, stress levels, and other key factors that influence skin health. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to pinpoint the underlying causes of your breakouts rather than just treating the symptoms.
Your daily habits play a significant role in your skin’s health. We examine the following areas to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs:
Certain foods can contribute to inflammation, hormone fluctuations, and imbalances in gut health, all of which impact acne. We focus on creating a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet to support clear skin.
Movement is essential for circulation, detoxification, and stress reduction. However, over-exercising or improper post-workout skincare can sometimes worsen acne. We help you find the right balance.
Chronic stress triggers hormonal shifts that can lead to breakouts. We incorporate stress-reducing techniques to help restore balance and support overall well-being.
Poor sleep can contribute to inflammation, increased stress hormones, and slower skin healing. Optimizing sleep habits is a key component of our holistic acne treatment plan.
During your initial consultation at Columbus OB/GYN, our experienced providers will evaluate your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine if laser hair removal is suitable for you.
We will discuss your expectations, goals, and any concerns you may have. It’s important to note that laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin tones. However, technological advancements have made it possible to treat a wider range of skin and hair types.
Functional medicine is about addressing the whole person—not just the symptoms. Through in-depth evaluation and targeted strategies, we create a plan that supports your body’s natural ability to heal. Whether it involves dietary adjustments, stress management, or addressing hormonal imbalances, our goal is to provide sustainable, long-term improvements in your skin health.
If you’re ready to take a comprehensive, holistic approach to treating your acne, we’re here to help. Schedule a consultation today to start your journey toward clearer, healthier skin.
