Understanding Menopause
Menopause is often a topic we shy away from – but it’s time to change that!
Officially, menopause starts one year after your last period. It can bring a range of reactions, and everyone’s experience is unique. While hot flushes and mood swings are well-known, menopause also affects your skin and hair.
This happens due to hormonal changes, particularly a drop in oestrogen. Oestrogen supports the production of elastin and collagen, essential for skin elasticity. During menopause, the diminishing of fat and bone beneath your skin accelerates, causing it to sag and develop fine lines and wrinkles more easily. Other issues, like age spots, dryness, sensitivity, and acne, may also become more frequent.
Your hair can also thin or even fall out in clumps during menopause. Oestrogen and progesterone, vital for hair growth, decline, leaving hair weaker and thinner. Hair follicles also shrink from your mid-40s, making hair finer over time.

Benefits of Polynucleotides Treatments
This treatment involves the administration of polynucleotides to promote dermal regeneration and hydration. By enhancing fibroblast activity, fibroblast proliferation, and stimulating extracellular matrix production, polynucleotides help improve pigmentation, inflammation, and overall skin health—common concerns associated with menopausal skin. Their ability to address multiple symptoms simultaneously makes polynucleotides a cornerstone treatment in our protocols for comprehensive cutaneous rejuvenation.

Benefits of Exosome (Purasomes) Treatments
Exosomes, extracellular vesicles containing bioactive molecules such as proteins, RNA, cytokines, and growth factors, are utilised to support tissue repair and cellular communication. Exosomes facilitate cutaneous rejuvenation by stimulating angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and cellular repair— as well as hair restoration and improving scalp health, all without the need for injections. This treatment is associated with microneedling in our clinic.This non-invasive option is particularly beneficial for menopausal skin, which often suffers from reduced healing capacity and impaired regeneration.

Benefits of Botulinum Toxin Treatments
Botulinum toxin is one of the most effective treatments for dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines , lower face and neck to help to prevent and improve jowling. By temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these lines, it smooths the skin and prevents the deepening of wrinkles over time. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool for enhancing overall aesthetic outcomes in menopausal women.

Benefits of Microtoxin Treatments
This approach with Mesotox (Microtoxin) integrates mesotherapy with botulinum toxin to improve skin quality and reduce hyperkinetic lines. By delivering microdoses of botulinum toxin combined with hydrating agents into the dermis, Mesotox refines skin texture, reduces pore size, diminishes inflammation, and enhances hydration and luminosity. Additionally, some menopausal patients present with adult acne due to hormonal imbalances; this treatment reduces sebum production, offering relief from acne symptoms.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers Treatments
These injectable treatments (Hyaluronic Acid-Based Dermal Fillers) are designed to restore volume and correct age-related volume loss. By targeting key areas, dermal fillers effectively augment soft tissue and promote a youthful facial contour. This treatment is invaluable for menopausal women experiencing the natural decline in bone, deep and superficial fat pads volume loss due to hormonal changes.

Benefits of NCTF® (Skinbooster) Treatments
NCTF® (New Cellular Treatment Factor) therapy, is a renowned mesotherapy solution specifically designed to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin, NCTF contains a blend of hyaluronic acid and over 60 active ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and coenzymes. These ingredients synergistically improve cellular regeneration and dermal hydration. NCTF targets signs of aging, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes a radiant complexion by stimulating fibroblast activity and optimizing cellular metabolism. This therapy is particularly beneficial for menopausal women experiencing a decline in skin density and hydration.
Benefits of Profhilo® Treatments
A cutting-edge bioremodelling injectable treatment, Profhilo combats skin laxity and restores a youthful appearance. It contains one of the highest concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid available and spreads evenly across the treated area, stimulating elastin and collagen production. Profhilo improves skin elasticity, and hydration while addressing sagging and crepey skin, which are common in menopause. It is especially effective for the face, neck, hands, décolletage, and body offering a holistic and minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation.
Benefits of Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural wound-healing response. This process increases collagen and elastin production, which are crucial for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and enhancing elasticity—issues commonly exacerbated during menopause. Additionally, microneedling improves the absorption of topical serums, maximising treatment outcomes for menopausal skin.
Benefits of Chemical Peels Treatments
Skin peels involve the application of chemical exfoliants, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to remove damaged outer layers of the skin. For menopausal patients, peels can address pigmentation irregularities, fine lines, and rough texture. Regular chemical peels improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation, leaving the skin smoother and more even-toned while combating the dullness often associated with hormonal changes.
Benefits of LED Light Therapy Skincare
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. Red light promotes collagen production and reduces inflammation, while blue light addresses acne by killing acne-causing bacteria. For menopausal women, LED therapy offers a gentle yet effective way to address issues like sensitivity, redness, and adult acne, promoting overall skin health and vitality.
Benefits of Medical-Grade Skincare
An essential part of managing menopausal skin involves a tailored skincare regimen. We recommend products rich in antioxidants (such as vitamin C), peptides, and retinoids to combat oxidative stress, stimulate collagen synthesis, and enhance cell turnover. Additionally, ceramide-based moisturisers are essential for addressing the dryness and impaired barrier function that often accompany menopause. Sunscreen remains a critical component to prevent further photoaging and pigmentation issues.
