How It Works

About Acne And Skin Care

Certain skin types are more prone to acne than others. If you have dry to normal skin, you’re less likely to see breakouts than someone with oily skin. However, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) can cause acne breakouts regardless of your skin type and history. The excess androgens that are produced in women with PCOS cause a hormonal imbalance, which affects the body in many ways. This includes skin health and oil production.

Skin care services are often a cornerstone in PCOS symptom management to help women take control of their complexion and manage breakouts. Our team of specialized PCOS Sisters nurse practitioners help women manage their symptoms and treat the cause of their condition.

FAQ

Acne And Skin Care FAQ

Is there anything I can do to reduce acne breakouts?

There are many factors that contribute to acne production. These can range from the hormones your body produces to the foods you eat. Doing things like modifying your diet to reduce sweets, drinking more water, and staying consistent with your PCOS treatment and skin care routine can help bring balance to your skin and tame breakouts.

How is acne treated?

Acne is treated with skin care treatments and services, such as prescription medications and products. Since acne is different for every patient, you will receive a personalized treatment plan to improve your skin and address the root cause of your sudden acne breakouts.

Do you accept insurance?

PCOS Sisters Telehealth Clinic & Wellness Center offers both pay per visit and membership subscriptions. We are a cash pay only practice, meaning we do not accept insurance. Cash pay includes credit cards and debit cards. We cannot accept Medicaid or Medicare patients, even if you agree to pay cash as we do not bill insurance. If you have insurance that covers your labs, imaging, and medications, you may use it, but you might find that our discounted prices are cheaper if you self-pay.
