Menopause and Aesthetics

How to Support Your Skin, Hair, and Confidence Through Change

Menopause marks a new stage in a woman’s life, one of wisdom, confidence, and renewal. However, it can also bring a series of physical changes that affect how women look and feel. As estrogen levels decline, the skin, hair, and body respond in ways that may feel unfamiliar.

At Bellezza Clinic, we understand that these changes can affect confidence as much as appearance. Our goal is to help women navigate this transition feeling radiant, revitalised, and confident with treatments designed to restore hydration, structure, and glow from the inside out.

How Menopause Affects the Skin and Body

During menopause, the sharp drop in estrogen and progesterone affects several key processes that keep the skin and hair youthful and resilient. These hormonal shifts can cause:

1. Loss of Collagen and Elasticity

Estrogen is vital for collagen production. Within the first five years after menopause, collagen levels can drop by up to 30 percent. The result is thinner, looser skin, particularly around the jawline, neck, and cheeks, and more visible wrinkles.

2. Dryness and Dehydration

Lower sebum and hyaluronic acid production mean the skin loses its natural moisture barrier. It may feel tight, flaky, and sensitive, especially on the face, neck, and hands.

3. Pigmentation and Uneven Tone

Hormonal imbalance and years of sun exposure can trigger age spots or melasma, while slower cell turnover dulls the complexion.

4. Hair Thinning and Texture Changes

Many women notice hair loss or a change in texture during menopause. As estrogen drops and androgen levels rise, hair follicles shrink, leading to shedding or loss of density, particularly on the crown.

5. Body Fat Redistribution

With hormonal change, fat tends to shift from the hips and thighs to the abdomen or chin area. This can alter body contour and affect confidence, even without significant weight gain.

How Bellezza Clinic Can Help

Our treatments are carefully selected to support the skin and hair through hormonal transitions, targeting both the underlying causes and the visible signs of change.

1. Restore Hydration and Glow

Hydration is key for menopausal skin. Treatments such as Profhilo (£290) and Polynucleotides (£300) restore deep hydration and stimulate collagen for smoother, firmer, and more luminous skin. For an extra boost, we recommend combining them with Dermalux LED Light Therapy (£60) and a Beta-Glucan Mask (£20) to soothe and enhance glow.

2. Rebuild Elasticity and Firmness

Loss of elasticity is one of the most common concerns. Radiofrequency and Exosome therapy (£350) help lift and tighten while stimulating new collagen and elastin. For volume restoration, our dermal fillers (from £190 for 0.5ml lips or £350 for 1ml cheekbones) subtly enhance natural structure.

3. Even Out Pigmentation

To address uneven tone or melasma, we offer advanced peels (£150) and microneedling to brighten and renew the skin. From within, our IV Glutathione & Vitamin C drip £200) provides powerful antioxidant protection and helps improve skin clarity.

4. Support Hair Regrowth

Menopause-related hair thinning can be distressing, but regenerative treatments such as PRP with Biotin (£300 per session or £750 for 3), Exosomes, and Polynucleotides for the scalp help restore density and stimulate new growth. We also recommend combining these with IV vitamin support for enhanced results.

5. Refine Contours and Firmness

Hormonal changes can lead to new fat accumulation around the chin or abdomen. Treatments like Aqualyx and ultrasound cavitation help dissolve stubborn fat deposits, while radiofrequency tightens and firms the overlying skin.

6. Refresh Delicate Areas

The eyes and lips are often the first to show signs of hormonal change. Subtle lip fillers (from £190) or tear-trough polynucleotide treatments can restore smoothness and vitality without altering natural features.

A Holistic Approach to Menopausal Wellness

At Bellezza Clinic, we believe true rejuvenation goes beyond the surface. We encourage a holistic approach that combines aesthetic treatments with nutrition, hydration, and wellbeing support.

Antioxidant supplements such as vitamin D, zinc, and collagen peptides, along with good sleep, exercise, and daily SPF protection, help enhance and maintain your results over time.

Menopause is not the end of beauty. It is the beginning of a new phase of self-care. With the right combination of treatments, nutrition, and expert guidance, women can continue to feel vibrant, radiant, and confident at every age.
