Physician Explains How Nicotine in Vaping May Affect Skin Healing and Acne
Physician Dr. Kunal Sood explains that nicotine in vaping products can reduce blood flow by narrowing small blood vessels, limiting oxygen and nutrient delivery essential for skin healing. This may slow recovery from acne lesions, irritation, and minor wounds while increasing inflammation and oxidative stress, potentially worsening acne-prone skin. Although vaping is not conclusively linked to causing acne, nicotine may exacerbate existing skin issues. Experts advise considering nicotine's impact if skin healing slows despite a good skincare routine.
