Menopause isn’t just about hot flushes and hormonal shifts — it’s a deeply personal transition that affects how you feel, how you think, and yes, how you look. As a doctor and a woman, I understand that menopause can come with unexpected changes — not only to your energy and mood but to your skin, hair, and body confidence.
At The Doctor’s Practice, we’ve developed a personalised approach to help women feel radiant and empowered through every stage of menopause — from the early signs of perimenopause to life after your last period. Let’s talk about how we support your skin and self-confidence during this time.
What Happens to Your Skin During Menopause?
As oestrogen levels drop, skin can start to feel:
– Thinner and more fragile
– Drier and less elastic
– Prone to deeper wrinkles and sagging
– More sensitive, with sudden redness or breakouts
– Dull, patchy, or uneven in tone
That’s because oestrogen supports collagen production, skin hydration, and cell repair. When levels dip, your skin struggles to keep up.
How We Help: A Personalised Approach to Menopausal Skin
- Advanced Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides – deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen.
2. Microneedling with Exosomes – enhances repair and delivers growth factors.
3. Tailored Facials and Chemical Peels – for dryness, pigmentation, and dullness.
4. Hormonal Blood Testing – in-depth testing to understand what’s happening inside.
5. Personalised Aesthetic Plans – bespoke treatments for jowls, lines, and volume loss.
6. Support for Hair Thinning – scalp injections, microneedling, and mesotherapy.
What the Latest Research Shows
– Collagen levels can drop by up to 30% in the first 5 years after menopause onset (Menopause Journal, 2019).
– Early intervention with skin boosters reduces collagen loss and improves density (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021).
– Exosome-based therapies show promise in repairing skin barrier and reducing inflammation linked to hormonal shifts (Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2022).
A Personal Note from Dr. Rinku
One of my patients, a 51-year-old professional, came to me distressed by sagging skin and thinning hair during perimenopause. Through a tailored plan of skin boosters, hormone testing, and scalp mesotherapy, we were able to restore her glow and confidence. She told me it was the first time in years she recognised herself in the mirror.
