Got Hormonal Acne? Why Myrtle Beach Women Are Turning to Professional Skin Solutions

If you're an adult still dealing with breakouts, you're not alone—and you're not doing anything wrong. Hormonal acne doesn’t care how many green juices you drink or how many steps are in your skincare routine. For many women in Myrtle Beach, it shows up like clockwork: around your cycle, during times of stress, or during big life shifts like pregnancy or perimenopause.

The good news? You don’t have to just “deal with it.”

At Sculpt Skin Solutions, we help women across Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Socastee, and North Myrtle Beach tackle hormonal acne with real solutions—not just cover-ups or short-term fixes. Let’s break down what’s going on beneath the surface and what treatments are actually worth your time and investment.

What Is Hormonal Acne, Really?

Hormonal acne is exactly what it sounds like—acne that’s triggered or worsened by fluctuations in your hormone levels. It’s most common in women between their mid-20s and late 40s and often shows up:

• Along the jawline and chin
  
  
• As painful cysts under the skin
  
  
• Right before or during your period
  
  
• After starting or stopping birth control
  
  
• During pregnancy or menopause
  
  

What makes it different from teen acne? It’s typically deeper, more persistent, and less responsive to over-the-counter products.

Why Drugstore Products Usually Don’t Work

You’ve likely tried the standard acne cleansers and spot treatments—only to find that they dry out your skin, cause flaking, or seem to stop working after a few weeks.

That’s because hormonal acne is driven by internal imbalances, not just clogged pores or bacteria. And while skincare can help manage it, you need the right type of products and treatments—ones that target inflammation, regulate oil, and strengthen your skin barrier.

This is where professional treatments make a huge difference.

Professional Treatments That Actually Help

Our Myrtle Beach clients have seen major results with a customized blend of clinical-grade treatments that go beyond surface-level solutions. Some of our most effective approaches include:

1. Aerolase® Neo Laser

This is one of our go-to solutions for hormonal breakouts because it:

• Kills acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin
  
  
• Reduces redness and inflammation
  
  
• Supports long-term skin healing
  
  

It’s safe for all skin tones, pain-free, and there’s zero downtime. Many of our clients also report that their skin feels less congested and looks brighter after just a few sessions.

2. Microneedling with Exosomes or PRF

Microneedling helps remodel the skin by stimulating collagen, reducing scarring, and improving texture. When paired with exosomes or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), it also boosts healing and can regulate oil production. This combination is especially helpful for acne-prone skin that needs a refresh without harsh chemicals.

3. HydraFacial® Clarifying Treatments

Think of this as your reset button. The HydraFacial works by gently exfoliating, extracting debris from your pores, and infusing your skin with acne-fighting serums. It's non-irritating, feels amazing, and gives you an immediate glow while helping prevent future breakouts.

We recommend it monthly for acne-prone clients, especially if you wear makeup, sweat often, or work outdoors in the Myrtle Beach humidity.

The Role of Skincare: Less Is More

You don’t need 15 products. In fact, too many actives can do more harm than good—especially for inflamed or hormonal skin.

We help clients build simplified, effective routines using medical-grade products that actually work, such as:

• Gentle enzyme cleansers
  
  
• Retinols (in the right strength for your skin)
  
  
• Niacinamide-based serums for calming
  
  
• Oil-regulating moisturizers
  
  
• Zinc-based or mineral SPF
