Menopause

Lower estrogen levels can lead to lower levels of collagen, a protein that helps keep your skin plump and firm. Less collagen can cause your skin to feel thin and droopy. You also may notice other changes, including age spots, signs of sun damage, and pimples or acne.

Menopause significantly impacts skin aging by causing a noticeable decrease in collagen production, leading to thinner, drier skin with increased wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of elasticity due to declining estrogen levels; this can manifest as visible signs of aging like fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and age spots, making the skin appear more mature and less plump.

WHAT WE DO

Menopause brings significant hormonal changes that impact your skin’s appearance, structure, and function. At Dermaluxe, we offer expert advice, tailored skincare, and professional treatments to help you manage and improve these changes.

Key Skin Changes During Menopause
  • Collagen Loss: Up to 30% collagen loss in the first few years post-menopause, leading to reduced firmness and elasticity.

  • Lower Estrogen: Reduces collagen production and skin hydration.

  • Dryness: Reduced oil (sebum) production causes dry, rough skin.

  • More Wrinkles: Loss of elasticity makes lines and wrinkles more noticeable—especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

  • Skin Thinning: Fragile, thinner skin may bruise more easily.

  • Pigmentation: Increased sun spots and uneven skin tone from hormonal changes.

  • Fat Redistribution: Loss of volume in the face, neck, and hands, creating a hollowed or sagging look.

  • Slower Healing & Regeneration: Due to reduced cell communication and antioxidant defense.

  • Sensitivity: Changes in skin pH can lead to increased stinging, flushing, or reactivity.
