DOES INCREASED DHEA LEAD TO ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR ACNE VULGARIS CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Of the approximate one-hundred and fifty different hormones produced by the adrenal glands, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most abundant. DHEA is delivered to the body's some fifty trillion cells via the blood stream where it is converted into androgens (male-like hormones) and estrogens.

DHEA supplementation is available over-the-counter and through prescription, and is often used for hormonal deficiencies including those associated with adrenal fatigue.

Numerous studies have shown the correlation between increased levels of DHEA and acne. If you are prone to acne and are considering DHEA supplementation, it is important to see your practitioner for hormonal testing, proper dosing as well as other treatment options.
