When Hormonal Changes Affect the Skin — and What Can Be Done
The skin changes that accompany perimenopause and menopause are among the most significant and least discussed aspects of this life stage. Many women notice that their skin has changed — that it feels different, behaves differently, and responds differently to the products and treatments that worked before — without fully understanding why, or knowing that effective options exist.
Oestrogen plays a fundamental role in skin health. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, supports the skin's lipid barrier, maintains hydration, and influences the skin's thickness, firmness and elasticity. As oestrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, the skin loses these benefits relatively rapidly.
Common skin changes associated with hormonal decline include increased dryness and sensitivity, accelerated collagen loss leading to thinning and crepiness, loss of elasticity and new fine lines, increased laxity particularly around the jaw and neck, changes in pigmentation and skin tone, increased flushing and sensitivity, and in some cases adult acne driven by the relative increase in androgen activity as oestrogen declines. These changes do not affect every patient equally — genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure history and skincare habits all play a part.
Treatments to Consider
Addressing menopausal skin changes requires a whole-skin approach — combining the right professional skincare with clinical treatments that target the specific changes the skin is undergoing. Skin Boosters and Profhilo® deliver deep hydration and trigger bioremodelling, performed by Hannah Moor. Polynucleotides repair at a cellular level. Collagen stimulating treatments — Sculptra®, Radiesse® Dilute and Gouri® — address accelerated collagen loss. Dermal Fillers restore volume where loss has become significant, performed by Dr John Tanqueray. Tixel® and Microneedling stimulate collagen and improve texture, led by Jenna Johnston. Professional Skincare is the essential daily foundation throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why has my skin changed so much around menopause specifically?
Oestrogen supports collagen production, hydration and skin thickness — as it declines, these benefits reduce relatively quickly, which is why the change can feel sudden.
Is there one single treatment for menopausal skin?
No — a well-considered combination of skincare and clinical treatments tailored to your specific changes works far better than any single treatment alone.
Can adult acne really be linked to menopause?
Yes — as oestrogen declines, the relative increase in androgen activity can trigger acne in some women for the first time in adulthood.
Will this help with the increased facial flushing I'm experiencing?
It can be part of the conversation — bring this up at consultation so we can discuss what's appropriate alongside everything else.
