Menopause Treatments: Supporting Skin Through Change
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the changes it brings can feel sudden, particularly when it comes to skin health. As a women-run clinic, my team and I regularly see women going through these changes and who feel their skin has changed almost overnight. It may become drier, thinner, less resilient, and more prone to fine lines, laxity, and loss of glow.
These changes are very real and very common. Hormonal shifts during pre-menopause and menopause directly affects collagen production, hydration, elasticity, and the skin barrier. The goal at this stage is not to overcorrect, fill or ‘chase youth’, but to support the skin so it remains strong, comfortable, and healthy. With a personalised approach and the right treatments, menopausal skin can be supported gently and effectively.
Common Skin Concerns During Menopause
Most women experience similar changes in their skin during menopause, including:
Increased dryness and sensitivity
Loss of firmness and elasticity
Dullness
Slower healing
Subtle shifts in facial volume can also occur as we age, often affecting the jawline, eyes, and mouth. Menopausal skin typically needs more support rather than more products or aggressive treatments. This is where skin-quality, and regenerative treatments can make a significant difference.
Our Approach at Harley Street Injectables
My strategy at Harley Street Injectables for menopausal is a long-term, skin-first approach. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough consultation to understand how your skin has changed and what it now needs.
Our focus is on improving overall skin quality. By strengthening the skin barrier and stimulating collagen we are essentially restoring lost hydration. Treatments are always subtle, tailored to your skin, and designed to work with your skin rather than against it.
Skin Boosters for Hydration and Comfort
Hormonal changes often lead to increased dryness and loss of bounce. Skin boosters such as Profhilo and Skinvive by Juvéderm help restore hydration from within, improving comfort, elasticity, and luminosity.
These treatments are commonly used to deeply hydrate the skin without adding volume or altering facial shape. They are particularly well suited to menopausal skin that feels tight, dull, or dehydrated.
Regenerative Treatments for Skin Strength
Regenerative treatments can play an important role during menopause by supporting repair and collagen production at a deeper level.
Treatments such as, Polynucleotides help improve skin quality by enhancing hydration, elasticity, and tissue repair. These treatments are especially beneficial for thinning skin and delicate areas such as the under-eyes, neck, and décolletage. Exosomes treatments may also be recommended to support cellular repair and overall skin resilience.
Collagen Stimulation and Subtle Support
As collagen levels decline, skin can lose firmness and definition. Rather than focusing on volume, we prioritise treatments that stimulate collagen gradually.
Bio-stimulators such as Polynucleotides and JULÄINE™ encourages the skin to rebuild collagen over time, improving firmness and skin quality with natural-looking results.
Softening Expression Lines
Menopause can make lines appear more pronounced as skin becomes thinner and drier. Carefully placed anti-wrinkle treatments can soften expression lines while maintaining natural movement.
These treatments are always used conservatively, with the aim of looking refreshed rather than altered.
Personalised Combination Plans
Menopausal skin rarely benefits from a single treatment alone. The most effective results often come from combining hydration, collagen stimulation, and gentle maintenance. Treatment plans are carefully curated and phased along to support long-term skin health and work with your skin as it changes.
Supporting Confidence Through Menopause
Menopause is not about fixing something that is broken. We are not broken, it is just about supporting your skin through a natural transition and helping you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin.
At Harley Street Injectables, we are committed to providing thoughtful, personalised menopause treatment plans that respect both the science of skin ageing and the individuality of every patient. If you are noticing changes in your skin during perimenopause or menopause, our team is here to guide and support you.
