Teenage Acne : Our unique approach at BE Mind Body Skin

This topic is very popular, and so we will discuss this topic in a couple of blogs. In this one I will discuss our approach to Acne in general at BE. Almost 75-80% of teens deal with some form of acne during the transitional years into adulthood. Dermatological science has attributed the etiology to hormonal imbalance, shifting microbiome of the skin, dietary changes and several other factors including the changes in the body metabolism during these years which contributes to Acne in this age group commonly. The change in the external environment of a growing teen as well as the change in the internal body all surmounts to the ‘stress’ that the body deals with in this age group. There for much of acne care for clearing the skin and preventing future breakouts depends on creating harmony of the body within and without.

We are composed of 5 elements, fire, water, earth, ether and air and the balance of these elements determine the physical constitution of the body and its response to stress both internal and external stress that the body deals with.

We at BE believe , that all conditions of the skin are connected equally to the health of the mind and body. Our area of expertise lies in the effects of balancing the elemental composition of the body for approaching any condition of the skin. Our unique approach first includes a comprehensive consultation with the doctor that will go over your concerns, diet and wellness status with a thorough questionnaire and exam, after which we can asses a body ‘dosha’ or your elemental state. This then acts as a guide post for us to determine the best skin care, diet, lifestyle ( including yoga asanas, breathing) etc that can help with balancing the hormonal changes within the body. This is accompanied with recommendations on ideal skin care, and skin therapies to control and relieve acne breakouts.

The minimal invasive approach of using targeted lasers, safe for all skin types for scarring, and regular chemical peels and other exfoliate treatments that create a strong maintenance plan for creating clearing of old scars and inflamed skin. Having a physician directed care plan for skin care leads to best outcomes for preventing future acne breakouts. You can schedule your first comprehensive exam using this link .
