Due to the increasing popularity of IUDs for conve

Due to the increasing popularity of IUDs for convenient birth control, we have been seeing more women in CONNECTED's office frustrated by severe acne. Many come to see us because their GP or gynecologist has told them that their hormonal IUD (eg. Mirena, Skyla) is unlikely the cause of their acne, because the hormones only act locally. Unfortunately, we hear this far too often at CONNECTED. So today we're revealing the relationship between IUDs and acne.⁣
⁣
Hormonal IUDs prevent pregnancy for up to five years by releasing a small daily amount of levonorgestrel, a synthetic form of progestin/progesterone. Levonorgestrel increases your cervical mucus so that the sperm cannot reach the egg. It also thins the lining of your uterus, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant itself on the wall and result in pregnancy.⁣
⁣
How do hormonal IUDs contribute to acne?⁣
Since hormonal IUDs can affect your hormones, it can contribute to acne, particularly if you had breakouts during your adolescent years and if you're already breaking out before contraception.⁣
Progestin has an androgenic effect that stimulates the oil glands within the skin to overproduce sebum. Once there's excessive oil on your skin, it can mix with sweat, dirt and dead skin cells to clog your pores leading to acne. It also has an inflammatory action on the skin leading to a greater chance of deeper, painful blemishes.⁣
⁣
The Naturopathic Doctors at Connected Health & Skin are very familiar with this concern and can help to advise you on the best birth control options for your needs as well as create a strategy to prevent and treat acne triggered by hormonal IUDs. Book a discovery call today with to learn more.

If you want to invest in the future health and app

If you want to invest in the future health and appearance of your skin, microneedling with growth factors or exosomes gives you the best bang for your buck!⁣
⁣
Microneedling targets the superficial layer of your skin to help provide anti-aging benefits, decrease pigmentation and resurface the overall texture in a non-invasive way! ⁣
⁣
A clinical study found "4 microneedling sessions 1 month apart shows up to 400% increase in collagen and elastin deposition at 6 months."⁣

Pain is a universal human experience, impacting ou

Pain is a universal human experience, impacting our lives in various ways. Whether it's due to a sports injury, autoimmune conditions, stress, poor posture, or other factors, living with pain can greatly affect your quality of life. However, it's crucial to understand that pain is your body's signal that something is amiss. While it serves as a valuable warning system, chronic pain can become overwhelming. How can acupuncture, a well-known holistic therapy, help alleviate pain and address its underlying causes?⁣
⁣
Acupuncture offers a multifaceted approach to pain relief, benefiting individuals seeking natural and integrated solutions for pain management in Toronto. Let's explore how acupuncture can be a game-changer:⁣
👉🏻 Muscle & Tissue Relaxation⁣
👉🏻 Balancing the Endocrine System & Releasing Pain-Relieving Hormones⁣
👉🏻 Calming the Nervous System⁣
⁣
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn't have to define your existence. In Toronto, where the pace is fast and the demands are high, acupuncture is a powerful tool to alleviate pain and enhance resilience. Let Connected Health & Skin be your partner on your journey to a pain-free and more fulfilling life.⁣

One challenge we often encounter is Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), and we're here to share how our Naturopathic Doctors support clients facing this journey with compassion and expertise.⁣
⁣
🌱 Meet Sarah (name changed for patient confidentiality), a remarkable individual who walked through our doors with the determination to conquer TSW. Her journey was filled with ups and downs, but she knew she could trust our team to guide her toward healing.⁣

🙌 Just like Sarah, many of our clients come seeking relief from the symptoms of TSW – the redness, itching, flaking, and discomfort that can feel never-ending. But with our dedicated Naturopathic Doctors by their side, hope blooms anew and alleviation can be acheived.⁣
⁣
💪 We believe in holistic care that addresses the root causes of TSW, not just the surface symptoms. Our team creates personalized nutrition plans, recommends natural remedies, and provides emotional support to help our clients regain their skin health naturally.⁣
⁣
🌟 Sarah's story is just one of many, and we're excited to be a part of yours too. If you're on a TSW journey or seeking natural solutions for your skin health, reach out to our team today. Together, we can author your own tale of transformation and rediscover the beauty of healthy skin.⁣
