Around menopause, we lose around 30% of our collagen, and these significant changes to our skin can be rather difficult. Decreases in fat, collagen, and elastin can occur even in our late forties. Due to a decrease in the production of progesterone and oestrogen by our reproductive organs, we normally enter perimenopause in our late forties, four years before we really go through menopause. Numerous significant changes result from this, the most visible externally being a noticeable alteration in our skin’s tone and flexibility; we may also notice a change in our skin’s state, such as it being drier or more inflammatory.
A PERSONAL TREATMENT PLAN
Although the symptoms vary enormously, everyone will lose a significant amount of collagen during the roughly ten years between pre- and post-menopause. Because you still feel young and want your face to reflect that, the sudden menopausal skin ageing that results can be very frustrating, especially if you have a hectic personal or professional life. Effective (but mild) skincare products and treatments target issues, which include thinning lips, sagging skin, loss of definition, and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes.
At Yildiz Beauty Clinic we advise to begin treatments sooner rather than later to reverse the signs of menopausal skin.
