Menopause and Skin: How Nic+Co Aesthetics Can Rejuvenate and Restore Your Glow

Menopause is a significant life transition that brings about various changes in the body, including the skin. As oestrogen levels decline, the skin loses its natural elasticity, hydration, and collagen production, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and dryness.

1. Loss of Collagen and Elasticity

• Collagen, the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and plump, decreases significantly after menopause. Studies show that women lose about 30% of their skin’s collagen within the first five years of menopause and continue to lose about 2% per year after that.

• This results in sagging, fine lines, and an overall loss of firmness.

2. Thinner, More Fragile Skin

• Oestrogen helps maintain the skin’s thickness and strength. As levels drop, the skin becomes thinner, making it more prone to bruising, sensitivity, and slow healing.

3. Increased Wrinkles and Fine Lines

• Reduced collagen and elastin lead to deeper wrinkles and more prominent fine lines, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

4. Dryness and Dehydration

• Oestrogen also plays a role in oil (sebum) production. As its levels decrease, the skin produces less oil, leading to dryness, flakiness, and a rough texture.

• Hydration levels drop, causing skin to appear dull and lacking radiance.

5. Loss of Facial Volume

• Fat pads in the cheeks and under the eyes shrink with age, leading to hollowness, sagging, and a sunken appearance.

6. Increased Sensitivity and Redness

• Menopausal skin may become more reactive to skincare products and environmental factors, leading to irritation, redness, and a tendency to flush easily.

7. Age Spots and Hyperpigmentation

• Hormonal changes can contribute to the development of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation, particularly in sun-exposed areas.

Absolutely! While menopause naturally impacts the skin, professional treatments like Polynucleotides, Sunekos, Anti-wrinkle injections, and Dermal fillers can help counteract these effects, restoring hydration, firmness, and a youthful glow.

At Nic + Co Aesthetics, we specialise in skin rejuvenation treatments designed to support collagen production, improve skin texture, and enhance hydration.

1. Polynucleotides – Skin Regeneration & Deep Hydration

Polynucleotides are an innovative skin bio-revitalization treatment that works by stimulating collagen production and deep skin hydration. Derived from natural DNA fragments, they help repair damaged skin, improve elasticity, and reduce fine lines. This treatment is ideal for menopausal skin as it strengthens the skin barrier, improves texture, and promotes a natural glow.

2. Sunekos – Deep Hydration and Collagen Boosting

Sunekos is a unique injectable that combines amino acids and hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen and elastin production, making it an excellent treatment for dry, aging skin. It helps:

• Improve skin hydration

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

• Restore elasticity

• Brighten dull skin

This treatment is perfect for menopausal skin that needs hydration and a youthful boost!

3. Anti-Wrinkle Injections – Smooth Out Fine Lines

Menopausal skin is more prone to dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Anti-wrinkle injections relax the underlying muscles, preventing the formation of deeper wrinkles and creating a smoother, fresher appearance.

4. Dermal Fillers – Restore Volume and Contour

Loss of volume in the cheeks, jawline, and under the eyes is common during menopause. Dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid can restore lost volume, lift sagging skin, and smooth out deep wrinkles. This treatment helps rejuvenate the face, bringing back a youthful and refreshed look.
