- Acne is the result of obstruction, inflammation and/or infection of hair follicles and their associated glands. However, there are also underlying components that make people susceptible to acne and can affect the severity of the eruptions. General inflammation, toxic overload and accumulation, and dietary triggers should be considered. In women, often there is an underlying issue of sub-clinical hormone imbalance which must be addressed. Conventional treatments for acne include harsh topical applications and oral contraceptive pills, yet diet and lifestyle, detoxification pathways, and organ health is too often overlooked.
- Dr. Atkins uses natural topical treatments while addressing the internal causes to prevent recurrence of acne. To book a consultation and learn more about potential treatments please call 250.381.1234
