“Fall Acne” is a common and treatable problem for patients in their teens through forties. Sun, in small doses, can improve acne conditions ... temporarily during the summer months. Skin tends to swell and exfoliate, and redness will reduce when exposed to the sun during brief periods. In the fall, however, acne flares up as the skin begins to shed dry and dead cells caused by sun exposure.
Fall acne flare-ups are also influenced by mood swings, low spirits, and stress. While spirits tend to be carefree and relaxed during summer, the start of fall is sometimes met with feelings of depression and increased stress or anxiety due to the start of school or return to full-time work.
Acne is a complex problem that can be treated effectively with proper skin care products, Gentle Waves or IPL Laser treatments – all services and products offered at Danyo Plastic Surgery.
Clinical aesthetician Deana Downey, along with Dr. Danyo, have formulated clinical regimens and offer at- home products that will effectively treat acne, without using prescription medication such as oral antibiotics or in some cases, Accutane.
