Hormonal Acne Treatment in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: Hormonal acne typically appears as deep, tender spots along the jawline, chin and neck that flare around the menstrual cycle or at times of stress. Because it is linked to internal factors, it starts with a medical review at Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon; the doctor may advise further assessment or medical care, while in-clinic options such as the Capri laser acne/sebum program (steps 1–3, first-visit ₩89,000, VAT excluded) can help manage oiliness and active breakouts.

How to recognise hormonal acne
Hormonal acne in adults often shows up as deeper, sore bumps on the lower face rather than blackheads on the forehead and nose. Many people notice it worsens in the week before a period, after stopping or changing hormonal contraception, or during stressful periods. It can also affect men and teenagers.
Why a medical review comes first
Persistent jawline acne can sometimes be associated with conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other hormonal changes. During the consultation the doctor asks about your cycle, contraception, pregnancy plans and medicines. Depending on the findings, the doctor may advise further tests, a referral or medical treatment. This page does not replace that individual advice.
Women’s health considerations
- If you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, tell the doctor, as some treatments and topical ingredients are avoided at these times.
- Changes to hormonal contraception should be discussed with your own doctor or gynaecologist.
- Isotretinoin users: resurfacing is usually postponed, and the doctor will advise on timing.
What in-clinic care can add
While internal factors are reviewed, the Capri laser acne program and Aqua Peel can help manage oil and active spots. Deep lower-face spots often leave brown marks or rolling scars , which can be treated later. For what a first visit involves, see our acne clinic page.
Hormonal Acne Treatment FAQ
Why do I get acne on my jawline and chin?
Breakouts along the jawline, chin and neck are often linked to hormonal fluctuations, such as those around the menstrual cycle, and can be made worse by stress. A doctor can review your pattern and history to confirm the likely cause.
Can a laser cure hormonal acne?
No in-clinic procedure can change the hormonal causes of acne. Treatments such as the Capri laser program can help manage oiliness and active breakouts, while the doctor may advise further assessment or medical care for the underlying pattern.
Should I mention my menstrual cycle or contraception at the consultation?
Yes. Information about your cycle, contraception, pregnancy or breastfeeding helps the doctor understand the acne pattern and choose treatments that are appropriate for you.
Can men have hormonal acne?
Yes. Hormones such as androgens influence oil production in everyone, so men can also experience persistent lower-face acne. The assessment and in-clinic options are similar.
