Diane-35 is a contraceptive pill that doubles as a very effective acne treatment. Diane-35 provides contraceptive protection as reliable as other pills while it also relieves acne, greasy skin and hairy skin. Essentially, Diane-35 works by regulating your hormones: estrogen and progestogen (reproductive hormones) and androgen (which can cause acne, by prompting excess oil production in your skin). How does Diane-35 clear your skin? Suitable treatment for acne in women, Diane-35 has a clearly recognizable effect on the reduction of sebum production by blocking the effect of androgen (male sex hormones) on your skin. Thus, Diane-35 also reduces the formation of new spots and blackheads. After about three months your acne clears. You may then choose to stop using Diane-35 as an anti-acne treatment or to continue using it as your contraceptive Pill of choice. How does Diane-35 work as a contraceptive Pill? The cyclical production of the female hormones and the maturation of a follicle (egg) in the ovaries are controlled by a small organ (size about 1 cm) connected to the brain, the pituitary gland. Diane-35 meanwhile contains two female hormones, estrogen and progestin. These are similar to the natural hormones women produce in their ovaries. The pituitary gland is not able to distinguish the hormones contained in Diane-35 from those produced by the ovaries. It, therefore, stops inducing the natural hormone production by the ovaries and eventually the process of egg growth and release. This hormonal feedback mechanism is based on the same principle which blocks the maturation and release of further eggs during pregnancy. |
