Perimenopause and Skin

Perimenopause is a phase of life marked by hormonal changes that can significantly affect the skin. Common concerns include dryness, loss of elasticity, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and increased sensitivity. At O’Skin, we offer consultations to address your concerns during this period. Our customised care plans address your unique needs, ensuring you feel confident in the skin you’re in.

Benefits

Improved Skin Quality

Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause can cause dryness and a decline in skin firmness. Our treatments restore moisture balance and
stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother skin. Perimenopausal skin is often more prone to irritation and sensitivity. Our treatments help fortify the skin’s natural barrier, providing protection against environmental stressors while soothing and calming sensitive areas.

Reduction in Fine Lines

Targeted therapies reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At O’Skin we have several treatments that address skin texture and tone, enhancing your overall complexion.

Treatment of Pigmentation

Skin pigment is a common issue as we age and can be a result of many factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes and scarring. Ablative and nonablative laser therapy, skin care advice and medical management can be used in a multimodal approach to target pigmentation issues in perimenopause and beyond.

How it Works

1.

Initial Consultation

Your journey to healthier skin begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced practitioners. During this session, we conduct a thorough skin analysis using advanced diagnostic tools and discuss your concerns, lifestyle factors, and skincare goals. We then develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

2.

Treatment

Addressing ageing skin is a multifaceted approach as discussed in your treatment plan but may include a skin care routine for home use, medication (if needed) and in clinic treatments.

 

Your treatment plan may start with a medical grade peel which encourages cellular turnover and improves skin texture. Ablative and nonablative lasers are used to stimulate collagen, resurface the skin for improved tone and texture, removal of pigmentation and addressing redness and broken capillaries. Down time following laser is dependent on the type of laser used and desired outcome.

 

Other options for treatment include Rejuran, an injectable made from salmon DNA which boosts collagen and improves quality and texture. Other similar treatments to address lines, wrinkles and volume loss are discussed during your consultation.

Aftercare

Post treatment care advice depends on the type of treatment you have received. Sun protection is essential following any treatment and should be part of any ongoing skin care routine. Sun avoidance is advisable following ablative laser therapy.

 

Don’t apply active skin care products, such as retinol, for a few days following laser treatment. Using sunscreen and a gentle moisturiser is advisable.

 

High energy activities such as running should be avoided for 24 hours following a laser or chemical peel.
