As women approach menopause, they often notice changes in their skin that can be both surprising and frustrating. The hormonal shifts that come with menopause – especially the decline in oestrogen – play a major role in how the skin looks and feels. At Younger U Aesthetics, we understand these unique changes and are here to provide expert solutions that help you look and feel your best. Here’s a closer look at menopausal skin and some treatments that can help tackle these changes effectively.
How Menopause Affects the Skin
Menopause typically brings a drop in oestrogen levels, which affects collagen production, hydration, and skin thickness. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity, and as it decreases, skin can appear looser and more prone to wrinkles. This hormonal shift also impacts sebum production, often leaving skin drier and more susceptible to fine lines. Many women find that their skin texture changes, feeling less smooth than before. Some may even notice increased sensitivity, with skin becoming more reactive to environmental factors or skincare products.
Blood flow to the skin also reduces with age, leading to a decrease in the skin’s natural radiance. These combined changes often result in a complexion that can appear dull, tired, or uneven. Menopausal skin can also become thinner, making it more prone to bruising and slower to heal.
Tackle Menopausal Skin Changes with Younger U Aesthetics
At Younger U Aesthetics, we specialise in non-surgical aesthetic treatments tailored to address the unique challenges of menopausal skin. Our Save Face-accredited clinic offers treatments designed to rejuvenate, hydrate, and restore your skin’s natural glow.
Chemical Peels – Chemical peels are an excellent choice for refreshing and resurfacing the skin. By removing dead skin cells, peels reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath, helping to tackle dullness and uneven texture. Peels can also stimulate collagen production, which is especially beneficial for menopausal skin.
Dermaforce Microneedling – Our advanced Dermaforce Microneedling treatment works to stimulate collagen and elastin production, firming up the skin and improving its elasticity. Microneedling can also help to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and even out skin tone, giving menopausal skin a more youthful appearance.
Profhilo Skin Bioremodelling – Profhilo is a unique, injectable treatment designed to hydrate and tighten the skin deeply. It is perfect for tackling the dryness and loss of firmness that come with menopause. Profhilo not only hydrates but also remodels the skin, promoting a plumper, fresher look without the need for fillers.
Targeted Skincare Products – In addition to our in-clinic treatments, we offer a range of expertly selected skincare products that are specially formulated for mature skin. These products focus on hydration, barrier repair, and boosting collagen production, helping you maintain healthier, stronger skin at home.
