If you use Yaz birth control to clear up acne how long does it take?


I just recently started using yaz and I was wondering how long it usually takes for the hormones to start clearing up acne? Also, I was wondering if anyone knows anyone who uses it to get rid of excess facial hair or body hair after pregnancy, and how long that took to work?

the average period it takes is 21-28 days based on our experience with few girls in the clinic

Acne-how to Treat Acne During Pregnancy

Acne is mainly caused because of hormonal changes in the body. The hormones increase production of sebum and this sebum fills the glands to form acne. During pregnancy the hormonal activity is at it's highest. But a pregnant woman may not use many acne medications. Let us find out now.

Acne and Tretinoin-

Tretinoin is one of the most common retinoids that are used to treat acne. Tretinoin clears the upper layer of the skin by peeling it off. Tretinoin gives very good results in acne treatment and in improvement of skin. But being a Vitamin A derivative, it cannot be used during pregnancy. All other retinoids also cannot be used.
