Menopause

Menopause triggers a sharp decline in oestrogen, which affects the skin’s ability to retain moisture, maintain collagen, and protect itself.

The result? Dryness, thinning, sensitivity, and slower recovery.

Our clinical skin and scalp treatments are designed to address these hormonal shifts; strengthening the barrier, improving density, and supporting long-term skin health.

Feel the difference in skin that’s calmer, clearer, and visibly more resilient.

Restored from the effects of hormonal change, not just covered up.

WHAT IS MENOPAUSE?

Menopause marks the official end of your reproductive years, defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Most women hit this milestone around age 51, but hormonal shifts can start years earlier. During menopause, oestrogen and progesterone levels decline dramatically, triggering a cascade of changes across your body - especially in your skin and hair.

SIGNS + SYMPTOMS ON SKIN + SCALP

As oestrogen drops, your skin loses hydration, elasticity, and collagen, leading to:

●  Dry, flaky, or itchy skin

●  Thinner skin that bruises easily
●  Increased fine lines and deeper wrinkles
●  Pigmentation patches or dull tone
●  Increased sensitivity or redness
●  Slower wound healing or recovery from treatments
●  Thinning hair, especially around the crown
●  Dry, tight, or irritated scalp

HORMONES INVOLVED

●  Oestrogen: Declines drastically, leading to loss of collagen, hydration, and barrier function
●  Progesterone: Also falls, contributing to dryness and slower skin turnover
●  Androgens: May become more dominant, potentially triggering hair thinning or facial fuzz
●  Cortisol: Often elevated due to stress, worsening inflammation and sensitivity
●  Thyroid + Insulin: May also be affected, contributing to sluggish metabolism and skin changes

BEST SKINCARE TREATMENTS FOR MENOPAUSE SKIN

We don’t just treat symptoms; we treat the cause. Menopause skin care is about supporting what your skin can no longer do on its own. At About Face, our clinical-yet-indulgent treatments target the hormonal shifts behind the changes, combining active ingredients with expert hands.

LIFTING CODE FACIAL 

This revitalising facial directly supports skin in menopause - targeting loss of firmness, fine lines, and dullness with a potent blend of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich plant extracts.

 

Combined with a physiotherapy-inspired mAassage to boost oxygenation and regeneration, it helps restore hydration, tone, and visible lift — all in a luxurious, deeply relaxing experience designed to leave you glowing and rebalanced.

DESENSE BARRIER RECOVERY FACIAL

Designed for hormonally reactive skin, this calming treatment soothes redness, strengthens barrier function, and reduces sensitivity using a targeted blend of ceramides, peptides, and anti-inflammatory actives. With ingredients like glycyrrhetinic acid, aloe vera, and pentapeptide-59, all chosen to calm the skin’s inflammatory response - it’s ideal for menopausal skin experiencing flare-ups, dryness, or unexpected reactivity.

 

Luxurious, restorative, and clinically grounded, it helps bring fragile skin back to balance.

RADIANCE MESOTHERAPY

This advanced treatment targets the dullness, pigmentation, and collagen loss so common in menopausal skin, delivering a potent blend of brightening antioxidants, lipo-proteoglycans, and hydration-boosting actives deep into the skin where topical products can’t reach.

Depending on your skin’s needs and sensitivity, we use either microneedling infusion or the MesoJect device (a no-needle delivery system) to infuse actives directly into the dermis. Both options are clinically proven to support fibroblast activity, even out tone, and improve firmness and hydration over time.

*A thorough consultation is essential to determine suitability, rule out contraindications, and tailor the treatment to your skin. 

PRX-PLUS SKIN BOOSTER

This needle-free biostimulator helps restore firmness, fade pigmentation, and boost collagen, without flaking, peeling, or downtime. Applied through a relaxing massage rather than a clinical device, it feels more like a spa treatment but delivers powerful results beneath the surface.

 

PRX works beneath the surface to stimulate renewal while keeping the barrier intact, making it ideal for menopausal skin that’s become thinner, dull, or reactive. As one of the newest technologies in skin regeneration, biostimulators offer a cutting-edge, non-invasive way to support long-term skin health.

 

Suitable for all skin types and safe year-round, PRX delivers visible improvement with zero disruption.

BEST SKINCARE INGREDIENTS FOR MENOPAUSE SKIN

Menopausal skin needs nourishment and regeneration. Look for:

●  Peptides: Signal collagen production and strengthen skin structure
●  Ceramides: Rebuild the skin barrier and reduce water loss
●  Niacinamide: Soothes, brightens, and improves elasticity
●  Lipo-proteoglycans: Protect against collagen breakdown and support skin density
●  Hyaluronic acid: Deep hydration and plumping
●  Antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, Ferulic Acid): Fight oxidative stress and pigmentation
