Acne & Excess Androgen Treatment | Dr. Ravi Shah

Targeting the Root Hormonal Cause of Persistent Acne and Hirsutism

Persistent adult acne, severe cystic breakouts along the jawline, unwanted facial or body hair growth (hirsutism), and androgenic scalp hair thinning are often not just skin-deep problems—they are key clinical indicators of underlying androgen hormone excess. Dr. Ravi Shah provides comprehensive endocrinological evaluation to identify conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or adrenal/ovarian hyperandrogenism, delivering targeted hormonal therapy for clear skin and long-term metabolic health.

Precision Hormone Profiling

Comprehensive measurement of free & total testosterone, DHEA-S, 17-OHP, LH, FSH, and insulin resistance markers to pinpoint the exact hormonal imbalance.

Targeted Medical Therapy

Personalized anti-androgen treatments, insulin sensitizers, and tailored lifestyle plans that suppress excessive sebum production and unwanted hair growth from within.

Advanced Clinical Care for Androgen-Driven Conditions

When high levels of circulating androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, topical creams and antibiotics often fail to provide lasting relief. Dr. Ravi Shah focuses on evidence-based endocrinology protocols that normalize hormone receptors, regulate ovulatory cycles, and halt progressive hirsutism and alopecia, ensuring holistic well-being and restored self-confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acne & Androgen

Hormonal acne typically flares around menstrual periods, concentrates along the lower third of the face (jawline, chin, neck), presents as deep painful cystic lesions, and often persists despite standard topical creams or antibiotic treatments.

In PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), the ovaries produce excessive male hormones (androgens), often triggered by elevated insulin levels. This stimulates facial hair growth (hirsutism), causes severe acne, and can result in scalp hair thinning.

Yes. By combining endocrinological anti-androgen therapy to stop new coarse hair follicle stimulation with dermatological hair reduction (such as laser therapy), long-term control and significant cosmetic improvement are achieved.

Because skin cells and hair follicles have specific growth cycles, significant improvements in hormonal acne usually become apparent within 8 to 12 weeks, while notable reduction in hirsutism typically takes 3 to 6 months of steady therapy.

Yes. An accurate baseline blood hormone panel (including testosterone, DHEA-S, 17-OHP, prolactin, and fasting insulin/glucose) is essential to diagnose whether the excess androgen originates from ovaries, adrenal glands, or peripheral sensitivity.
