Menopause Skin

Menopause is not just hot flushes. For many women, the changes to their face are sudden and distressing. You may feel like you aged 5 years in 6 months.

The “Collagen Cliff”

Estrogen is a key regulator of collagen production. When estrogen levels plummet during perimenopause and menopause, collagen production effectively turns off.

Studies show that women lose up to 30% of their skin’s collagen in the first 5 years of menopause.

This leads to three specific symptoms:

• Extreme Dryness: The skin loses its ability to hold water (Hyaluronic Acid decline).
• Sagging: Without collagen scaffolding, the skin becomes loose.
• “The Crinkle”: Fine lines appear on the cheeks and neck that weren’t there before.

Why Moisturizer Isn’t Enough

Topical creams sit on the surface (the epidermis). The problem is happening deep in the dermis. To fix it, we need to deliver hydration where the estrogen receptors are failing.

The “Injectable Skincare” Solution

We treat menopausal skin as a medical condition, using Bio-Remodelling agents.

1. Profhilo (The Hydrator)

Profhilo is often called “injectable moisturizer.” It spreads under the skin like honey, flooding the tissue with pure Hyaluronic Acid. It doesn’t add volume; it adds water and “bounce.”

2. Skin Boosters (The Glow)

For targeted dryness or fine lines around the mouth (smokers lines), we use targeted boosters like Seventy Hyal or Restylane.

3. Polynucleotides (The Repair)

If the skin is very thin, we use Salmon DNA to repair the damage and thicken the tissue.

You don’t have to accept “looking tired” as a symptom of menopause.
