Understanding Your Hormone Levels
“A lot of the skin changes seen in menopause and perimenopause are the result of lower levels of oestrogen. But oestrogen is not the only hormone playing a role. Progesterone is also thought to contribute towards preventing collagen breakdown (progesterone has an inhibitory effect on tissue degrading MMPs) and when levels drop in perimenopause, this can contribute to loss of firmness of the skin. Some women experience increases in testosterone levels, resulting in
acne
. The role of bio-identical hormonal therapy targeting each of these hormones should be discussed when patients are also suffering from other menopausal symptoms which are less responsive or non-responsive to dermatological treatments. For example, there is an accelerated postmenopausal loss of bone leading to the well-known osteoporosis but what is less well known is that the same loss of bone in the jaw and chin can lead to jowling. Of course, as always,
bio-identical hormonal therapy
combined with more targeted skin treatments can lead to even better results.

Thinking About Skin Texture and Facial Structure Changes
“It’s hard to give a single, one-size-fits-all but you might want to focus on what is your main problem. Is your skin too dry? You might want to consider injectable moisturisers such as
Profhilo
. If you want to focus on tightening your skin, you might want to think about
microneedling
, Morpheus8 or
Ultherapy.
If the brown sun-induced spots on your face are of concern, you might want to consider IPL/BBL.”
