Abstract
Age-related changes in menopausal women put this patient group at an increased risk of fine lines and wrinkles, decreased collagen and elastin, changes to vascularisation, and facial volume loss. Having depleted levels of oestrogen can make it difficult for the skin to retain moisture, resulting in increased dryness, decreased firmness and patchy discolouration. Most women in developed societies can expect to spend at least one-third of their lifetime in the postmenopausal period, when the external signs of ageing can be of the utmost importance to them. Despite this, many aesthetic practitioners may not know the best ways in which to treat these individuals. This paper will explore areas of the face that become more sensitive to hormonal ageing during the perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal periods.
