As women approach menopause and perimenopause, a dramatic shift occurs in the skin due to declining oestrogen levels. One of the most significant changes is the sharp drop in collagen production, leading to thinner, drier, and more fragile skin. If you're experiencing these changes, you’re not alone. Fortunately, a range of advanced skincare treatments can help rebuild lost collagen and restore youthful skin resilience.

How Menopause Affects Your Skin

Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration, thickness, and elasticity. Once levels drop, the skin undergoes rapid changes:

• Collagen loss: Up to 30% of skin collagen is lost in the first five years of menopause.

• Thinning skin: Reduced collagen and elastin make skin more fragile and prone to fine lines and wrinkles.

• Dryness and dullness: Decreased oil production leads to a lack of moisture, resulting in a rougher texture.

• Increased sensitivity: The skin barrier weakens, making it more susceptible to irritation and redness.

Effective Treatments to Rebuild Lost Collagen

At our aesthetics & skin clinic in Portadown, we offer cutting-edge skin treatments to combat these menopause-related changes and boost collagen production:

1. AlumierMD Skincare

AlumierMD offers medical-grade skincare tailored to menopausal skin. Key products include:

• Retinol Resurfacing Serum – Stimulates collagen and improves skin texture.

• EverActive C&E™ + Peptide – A powerful antioxidant that brightens and protects the skin.

• HydraCalm Moisturiser – Soothes and hydrates dry, fragile skin.

2. Profhilo for deep hydration

Profhilo is a game-changing injectable treatment that delivers ultra-pure hyaluronic acid into the skin, deeply hydrating and stimulating collagen production. It’s perfect for restoring lost elasticity and plumping crepey skin.

3. Skin Boosters for skin repair

Skin boosters, such as Redensity 1, work by infusing the skin with vitamins, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid, significantly improving hydration, firmness, and radiance.

4. Microneedling to boost collagen

Microneedling triggers the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. This treatment is ideal for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity caused by menopause.

5. Polynucleotides for tired eyes

Polynucleotides are the latest innovation in eye rejuvenation, targeting crepey, thin skin around the eyes by stimulating cell regeneration and collagen synthesis, improving elasticity and hydration.

6. Chemical Peels to brighten skin

Chemical peels, such as our customisable Alumier peel, gently exfoliate the skin, improving cell turnover, reducing dullness, and enhancing skin texture. They also help with pigmentation concerns that often worsen with hormonal changes.

Complementary Treatments: Botox & Dermal Fillers

While skin rejuvenation treatments focus on restoring collagen, Botox and dermal fillers address volume loss and wrinkles. Fillers replace lost facial volume, while Botox smooths expression lines for a more refreshed appearance.
