Hormones & Aging: The Support for Skin at Any Season — Perimenopause, Menopause & Postmenopause
Moving from winter to spring can often be messy and mucky - Much like navigating new hormonal changes. One week you feel a certain way, the next week, everything is flipped on its head. Kind of like the transitions from season to season - You never know what’s coming next.
I bet you have experienced this with your skin too - Even though spring is blooming, it doesn’t always mean your skin is as fresh.
The weather is warmer and there’s a natural sense of renewal in the air. You’re craving a fresh start and a little extra glow, but while the world outside is coming alive, you might notice your skin feeling… less than refreshed. If you’re seeing shifts in texture, elasticity, or that elusive radiance, hormonal changes could be playing a major role.
How Hormones Impact Your Skin
Just like the shift in seasons of nature, our bodies go through cycles. You may be in one right now - Perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause. As estrogen levels shift, so does your skin’s ability to hold moisture, produce collagen, and maintain that natural, healthy glow. This can lead to dryness, thinning, fine lines, and a loss of elasticity. The result? Skin can feel drier, thinner, and less resilient right when you’re pumped to spend more time on a patio. Add in fluctuating hormones during perimenopause, and you might even see breakouts or redness making an unexpected comeback. Bummer!
So what can you do about it?
Understanding these shifts means you can work with them - not against them - to bring balance back to your skin.
Here’s the good news: Just like Spring breathes life back into nature, we have treatments that can help revive and refresh your skin, too.
Top Treatments to Keep Skin Fresh for Spring & Summer
1. Energy-Based Devices (Radiofrequency & Laser Therapy)
Think of these treatments as a Spring reset button for your skin. They stimulate collagen production, improve texture, and tighten areas that may have lost firmness. Perfect for reviving your skin post winter and prepping for patio season.
2. Hydrating & Skin-Boosting Injectables
Hyaluronic acid-based injectables are the ultimate skin refresh. They restore moisture, plump fine lines, and bring back that dewy, healthy glow. For deeper lines or volume loss, dermal fillers can give a subtle lift - Think fresh, not frozen.
3. Chemical Peels & Exfoliating Treatments
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home. Gentle chemical peels can clear away the dull, dead skin cells that build up over winter, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion that’s ready for the season.
4. Medical-Grade Skincare
A refreshed season calls for a refreshed routine. Look for products packed with peptides, antioxidants, and retinoids to support collagen and fight off environmental stressors. And don’t forget a hydrating serum and your SPF - Spring sun can be sneaky!
Spring is a time of growth, renewal, and fresh starts - Your skin deserves it too!
