Acne! The Most Common Disease in Dermatology

Nov 30, 2019

Understanding Acne

Acne is a prevalent skin condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It is especially common during adolescence but can persist into adulthood. Reducing the appearance of acne and improving overall skin health is a top priority for many individuals. At Redding Integrative Medicine, we specialize in providing alternative and natural treatments to address acne concerns and help you achieve healthier, clearer skin.

The Causes of Acne

Acne develops when the hair follicles and sebaceous glands become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, such as those during puberty, pregnancy, or hormonal imbalances, can trigger excess oil production, leading to acne breakouts. Additionally, certain medications, stress, diet, and lifestyle factors can contribute to the development of acne.

Traditional Treatments

Conventional acne treatments typically involve the use of topical creams, gels, or prescription medications, some of which may have side effects. While these treatments can be effective for some individuals, they may not address the underlying causes of acne. At Redding Integrative Medicine, we take a holistic approach to acne treatment, focusing on identifying and treating the root causes.

Our Alternative and Natural Approach

At Redding Integrative Medicine, we believe in addressing acne from within. Our team of experienced practitioners combines the principles of alternative and natural medicine to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual. We take into account your unique health history, lifestyle, and any underlying conditions that may be contributing to your acne.

Nutrition and Lifestyle Changes

We emphasize the importance of nutrition and lifestyle modifications as key components of acne treatment. Our experts will work closely with you to optimize your diet, recommending foods that promote healthier skin and reduce inflammation. We may also suggest incorporating stress management techniques, regular exercise, and proper sleep habits into your daily routine, as these factors can significantly impact overall skin health.

Herbal and Homeopathic Remedies

In addition to recommending specific lifestyle changes, we may also incorporate herbal and homeopathic remedies into your treatment plan. These natural therapies can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural healing processes. By addressing the underlying causes of acne, we aim not only to reduce the appearance of current breakouts but also to prevent future ones.

Targeted Supplements

In some cases, targeted nutritional supplements may be recommended to support your skin health. These supplements can provide essential nutrients that support healthy skin, such as vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Our experts will guide you in selecting high-quality supplements that are safe and effective for your specific needs.
