Understanding and Treating Skin Changes During Menopause
Menopause marks a significant life stage, and with it come natural hormonal changes that can affect the skin’s texture, tone, and overall health. As oestrogen levels decline, skin may become drier, thinner, less elastic, and more prone to sensitivity, pigmentation, and fine lines. Many women also notice increased facial redness or breakouts linked to hormonal fluctuations.
At Hamilton Skin Clinic, we provide expert care and personalised support to help you navigate these changes with confidence. Our clinicians combine medical knowledge and advanced aesthetic treatments to address menopausal skin concerns safely and effectively. We focus on restoring hydration, improving firmness, and revitalising your skin’s natural glow—so you can feel comfortable and confident through every stage of life.
Common Causes of Menopausal Skin Changes
Hormonal Decline
Reduced oestrogen leads to decreased collagen and elastin, causing fine lines, sagging, and dryness.
Thinner Skin Barrier
The skin becomes more fragile and sensitive, losing its ability to retain moisture.
Decreased Oil Production
Sebum levels drop, leading to tightness and dullness.
Reduced Collagen Formation
Collagen loss accelerates, contributing to wrinkles and decreased elasticity.
Environmental Stress
Sun exposure and pollutants can worsen pigmentation and ageing signs during this period.
