Hormones are responsible for a large number of cases of acne because they are responsible for the maturation of oil glands in skin, which is why children do not get acne. So some people would say hormones and pimples go hand in hand.
Hormones are the main reason why teenagers start to get spots, the changes in their bodies like a female’s breasts developing or a male’s voice deepening are triggered by them.
There are several other occasions in a lifetime when hormones and pimples can collide such as menopause, during pregnancy, stressful situations or really any time they become unbalanced and want to wreak havoc.
When a person becomes a teenager and the oil glands go into overdrive, there is a terror that the spots will continue for the rest of their lives. Thankfully, this is not the case as hormones balance out. Some situations within life may trigger an outbreak of acne but this is normal, can be treated successfully and won’t last forever.

Laser resurfacing is the most modern type of acne treatment available to reduce acne scars or blemishes. It involves shooting laser beams of light at irregular skin patches. It is a very precise way of removing skin layer by layer.
If you have scars from acne you may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing. If you have active acne, this may not be the route for you.
There are two main types of lasers used for laser resurfacing – carbon dioxide and erbium. Both remove damaged skin cells and limit the amount of heat absorbed by the skin.
Co2 resurfacing can be used, amongst over things, to remove scars, birth marks and cancerous cells. It uses continuous light beams to remove layers of skin with very little heat damage. Recovery time takes up to 2 weeks.
Erbium laser resurfacing removes deep lines and wrinkles and smooths surrounding tissues. Recovery time is about 1 week.
You should always seek out surgeons with good credentials and experience for peace of mind if you consider this this option.
