Aesthetic treatments & the perimenopause
Embrace change with confidence
Perimenopause is a significant stage in a woman's life that often brings about numerous changes, both physical and emotional. As hormonal fluctuations wreak havoc on the body, women may experience a variety of symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, and changes in skin texture and elasticity. Fortunately, modern aesthetic treatments offer a range of solutions to help women navigate these challenges with confidence. At Dr Harriet Clinics we offer aesthetic treatments tailored to perimenopausal women, empowering them to embrace this transitional phase and feel their best.
Perimenopause, often referred to as the "menopausal transition," is the period leading up to menopause, during which hormonal changes are in full swing. This phase usually starts in a woman's late 40s to early 50s but can begin earlier or later for some. Oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate significantly, leading to a host of symptoms that can affect the skin, hair, and overall appearance.
Common Concerns
Skin Changes: As oestrogen levels drop, perimenopausal women may experience a decrease in collagen and elastin production, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
Acne and Breakouts: Fluctuating hormones can lead to adult acne or exacerbate existing skin conditions, causing frustration and embarrassment for many.
Pigmentation Issues: Hormonal shifts can also contribute to hyperpigmentation, such as melasma or dark spots, which can be distressing for some.
Aesthetic Treatments for Perimenopausal Women
Medical Grade Skincare- at home skin care can offer huge benefits to skin texture, acne, skin lines and hydration. Bespoke plans can also help with pigmentation (dark areas/spots) when used consistently
Skin boosters- skin treatments such as Profhilo can help increase skin hydration and firmness giving a more luminous appearance.
Dermal Fillers- can restore lost volume and rejuvenate the face, this works particularly well in the midface/under eye area and around the chin/ jowl area.
Botox- can temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles giving a fresher appearance
Perimenopause may bring about changes, but it's essential to remember that it can also be a time of empowerment and transformation. Aesthetic treatments offer a means of embracing these changes with confidence, enhancing your self-esteem and overall well-being. Dr Harriet is passionate about tailoring treatments to patient’s individual needs, so you can look and feel your best during this transitional phase, welcoming the next chapter of your life.
