Menopausal Skin
Targeted treatment for the skin changes of perimenopause and menopause, led by Dr Maryam Zamani at her Chelsea clinic.
Menopause Skin Treatment in London
The hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause have a significant effect on the skin. Many women notice their skin becoming drier, thinner and less firm within a few years, alongside changes in pigmentation, sensitivity and, for some, adult breakouts.
These changes are driven largely by falling estrogen levels, which affect collagen production, hydration and the skin's ability to repair itself. A large proportion of skin collagen is lost in the first years after menopause, which is why the changes can feel sudden.
Dr Maryam Zamani creates treatment plans that address the specific changes menopause brings, combining regenerative injectables to restore hydration and firmness with light and laser treatments to improve tone and texture.
How Menopause Affects the Skin
Collagen Loss
Falling estrogen accelerates the loss of collagen, leading to thinner skin and increased laxity.
Dryness
Reduced oil production and a weaker skin barrier leave skin drier and more prone to irritation.
Pigmentation
Hormonal shifts and cumulative sun damage can make age spots and uneven skin tone more visible.
Slower Repair
Skin renews more slowly, which can result in a duller complexion and slower healing.
Skin Boosters: Profhilo, Revive, Skinvive
Skin boosters are hyaluronic acid injectables that deeply hydrate skin, stimulate collagen and elastin, and improve skin quality without adding facial volume.
Polynucleotides
Doctor-led polynucleotide treatments hydrate, brighten, and firm skin, stimulate collagen, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and under-eye volume loss.
Julaine
JULÄINE™ stimulates natural collagen production to improve skin quality, firmness, and elasticity, restoring structure and promoting gradual rejuvenation without simply adding volume.
Sculptra
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that stimulates collagen production, restoring facial and body volume while delivering natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation results.
Halo™ Laser
Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that stimulates collagen, reduces wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and enlarged pores, improving overall skin texture and firmness.
BBL™
BroadBand Light (BBL) targets pigmentation, sunspots, and visible veins while stimulating collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and firmness.
CO2 Laser
AcuPulse CO2 laser resurfaces skin, tightens wrinkles, improves acne scars, pigmentation, sun damage, and stimulates collagen for firmer skin with reduced downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Falling estrogen during menopause reduces collagen, hydration and oil production. As a result, skin often becomes thinner, drier, less firm and more sensitive, and pigmentation and fine lines can become more noticeable.
Many women notice changes during perimenopause, often from their early to mid-forties, before periods stop. Dryness and loss of firmness are usually the first signs.
Lower estrogen reduces the skin's natural oils and weakens its protective barrier, so moisture escapes more easily and irritants penetrate more readily. Products you have used for years may suddenly feel too harsh.
Yes. Hormonal changes can make existing sun damage and age spots more visible, and some women develop new areas of uneven tone. Light and laser-based treatments and a consistent sun protection routine can help.
Regenerative injectables such as skin boosters, polynucleotides and Julaine help restore hydration, thickness and firmness, while light and laser treatments improve tone and texture. Most women benefit from a combination tailored to their main concerns.
HRT may help some women with skin hydration and thickness, but it is a medical decision to discuss with your GP or menopause specialist. In-clinic treatments can be used whether or not you are taking HRT.
Yes. Treatment plans are adjusted for sensitive or reactive skin, and your consultation will identify the gentlest effective approach.
