Menopause is a life-altering period for women that causes numerous shifts, including skin changes. As women age, low oestrogen levels correspond with a decrease in collagen production, leaving the skin drier, thinner, lined, and less elastic. The result? Skin that has a duller appearance, a slight sagging, and less youthful than it used to be.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to accept these changes as inevitable, all thanks to modern aesthetic and holistic treatments. Solutions exist for menopausal skin to help you regain radiance, enhance skin texture, or combat volume loss.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the most popular aesthetic treatments and what you should know to help you make smart decisions to bring back your glow. If you are thinking of undergoing an aesthetic procedure, be sure that your aesthetic practitioner is trained and certified so you can feel confident about your treatment, which provides you with the highest standards of care and expertise through Acquisition Aesthetic accreditation.
Why Does Menopause Affect Your Skin?
Before getting into aesthetic treatments, it’s important to know what happens to your skin during menopause.
The key culprits include:
- Loss of Collagen and Elastin – Up to 30% decrease in collagen during the first five years after menopause causes sagging and wrinkles.
- Lowered Oestrogen Levels – Oestrogen is important for hydration and the thickness of the skin. Without it, the skin is dryer and thinner.
- Decreased Cell Turnover – Dead skin cells build up more readily, resulting in a dull appearance.
- Sensitivity Levels – Skin during menopause can be sensitive; irritation, redness and pigmentation can happen more than before.
Knowing these shifts helps you select the most suitable aesthetic treatments to tackle your specific issues.
