Chin Acne: Causes, Solutions and the Role of the Skin Therapist
Chin acne is a common skin problem and can be very frustrating. Especially when it keeps coming back or remains visible, it can affect not only your skin but also your confidence.
At Huidzorg West in Delft and Rijswijk, our skin therapists help clients daily with persistent pimples and impurities, including chin acne.
Why is chin acne so common?
The chin is particularly prone to acne due to both internal factors (hormones) and external factors (skincare, diet, and lifestyle).
1. Hormonal fluctuations
Hormones play a major role in your skin’s condition. Especially in women, chin acne often occurs around menstruation, pregnancy, or periods of stress. Hormonal changes stimulate sebum production, which increases the likelihood of clogged pores.
2. Stress
Stress increases the production of the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone stimulates the sebaceous glands, resulting in oily skin and a greater chance of breakouts, especially on the chin, jawline, and neck.
3. Diet and lifestyle
An unhealthy lifestyle or a diet high in sugar, dairy, or processed foods can trigger inflammation in the skin. Smoking, lack of sleep, and insufficient hydration can also disrupt your skin’s balance.
4. Incorrect skincare
Using the wrong products, comedogenic makeup, or inadequate cleansing can clog pores, trapping oil and bacteria.
Professional treatments at Huidzorg West
At Huidzorg West in Delft and Rijswijk, we offer various effective treatments specifically aimed at reducing chin acne and improving overall skin condition.
Hieronder een overzicht van onze behandelmogelijkheden:
- Deep cleansing and peels
A professional chemical peel removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal. The active acids penetrate deeper into the skin to help regulate sebum production and prevent new breakouts from forming. At Huidzorg West, we use various skin-improving acids tailored to your skin type and the specific cause of your impurities. Examples include salicylic acid (BHA), which penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess sebum, and glycolic acid (AHA), which exfoliates the skin’s surface and stimulates cell renewal. - Microneedling for post-acne marks
If red or dark spots remain after acne, microneedling can help improve skin texture and accelerate fading of pigmentation. - Collagen Booster Treatment (Nd:YAG Laser)
The collagen booster treatment with the Nd:YAG laser is an innovative and versatile treatment that contributes to a smoother skin. The laser penetrates the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The heat from the laser also has an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing active pimples on the chin. - Skin analysis and product advice
In addition to treatments in the clinic, we also provide personal product advice.
