Menopause

About Menopause

Menopause is a normal part of ageing that affects all women. It can be a very stressful time and often difficult to navigate. This typically occurs between the ages of 40-55 but can happen earlier. Our professionals are supportive and committed to helping you through this time with minimally invasive treatments to help you feel better.

Menopause, a natural end to menstruation typically between ages 45-55, is preceded by perimenopause, during which symptoms begin. Research found that 63% of women didn’t know menopause symptoms can start up to ten years before their last period. These symptoms affect skin, face, body, and mood (e.g., hot flushes, acne, hair thinning). Additionally, 57% of women reported anxiety and stress related to these menopause-induced skin and body changes.

During menopause, a significant drop in hormone levels, especially oestrogen, leads to a quick reduction of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. Facial fat pads shift, with jowl fat increasing and underlying bone structure decreasing. This results in flatter cheeks, more pronounced dark circles, and sagging along the jawline and neck. Weight gain is also commonly observed around the midriff, arms, back, and under the chin.

At Elixiraesthetiqwellness we understand that this stage in life can be very stressful and debilitating at times. We aim to treat this holistically with kindness and a gentle approach. While this milestone can feel overwhelming there are many regenerative solutions we can offer to help you feel like yourself again.

Hormonal Changes: The Root Cause

During menopause, hormone levels, particularly estrogen, decline significantly. This can lead to:

Skin changes: Loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid can result in sagging skin, wrinkles, and a loss of facial volume.
Weight gain: Hormonal changes can contribute to weight gain, especially around the midsection.
