During perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, hormonal changes can significantly impact skin integrity. As estrogen levels fluctuate, women may experience changes such as dryness, thinning, and decreased elasticity in their skin. These shifts can contribute to various skin concerns, including increased sensitivity, uneven texture, and a loss of firmness. Understanding the effects of perimenopause, as well as menopause, on skin health is crucial for women navigating this stage of life.
Navigating menopause and perimenopause's impact on skin integrity prompts many women to consider proactive measures. While starting skincare routines in the late 20s or early 30s can help preemptively address hormonal shifts, deciding on more intensive treatments like collagen induction treatments or RF needling should be guided by individual needs and preferences.
Consulting with a Skin Renewal aesthetic doctor can offer personalised recommendations tailored to your unique skin concerns and readiness for treatment, contributing to long-term skin health and resilience.
