Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from forehead acne treatment?
Results vary depending on the severity of your acne and the chosen treatment plan. Many patients notice improvement within 4-6 weeks of starting treatment. However, complete clearing may take several months of consistent treatment. Regular maintenance treatments help prevent future breakouts and maintain clear skin.
Can certain hairstyles or products cause forehead acne?
Yes, hair products and styles can contribute to forehead acne. Products containing oils, silicones, or heavy moisturizers can clog pores when they come in contact with your forehead. Additionally, bangs or hairstyles that constantly touch your forehead can transfer oils and bacteria to your skin. We recommend using non-comedogenic hair products and keeping hair away from your face when possible.
Is forehead acne related to internal health issues?
Forehead acne can sometimes indicate internal health concerns, particularly hormonal imbalances or digestive issues. However, external factors often play a significant role. During your consultation at Healthy Image, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment to determine the underlying causes of your forehead acne and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
