A lot of women ask us at Revitalise Skincare Clinic – how can I fix my ageing skin due to menopause? If you too are seeking the answer to this question, we are here to guide you through our treatment options for all your skin concerns due to menopause.
Menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs to women between the ages of 45 and 55. The skin loses around 30% of its collagen during the first 5 years of the menopause. As collagen diminishes, our skin loses its firmness and begins to sag. At Revitalise Skincare Clinic we offer a range of aesthetic treatments that will bring your skin back to looking its best.
We understand many women are hesitant about taking the first step to beginning treatment. When you come to our clinic we work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses all your concerns. We are all about making women look good for their age through natural looking treatments.
What affects can menopause have on the skin?
- Skin Texture – the skin can become dry and irritated
- Sagging Skin
- Loss of volume
- Increased wrinkles
- Extra facial hair
- Acne
For every skin concern caused by menopause, we have a treatment option that can help.
What treatment options do you offer at Revitalise Skincare Clinic?
At Revitalise Skincare Clinic we have a wide range of treatment options for woman who ask themselves – how can I fix my ageing skin due to menopause?
Skin Texture
For individuals who struggle with skin texture, we recommend either our Hydrafacial, Obagi Blue Peel or Profhilo Skin Booster treatments.
If your skin is dry, irritated and in need of hydration Profhilo is a great option. It is an injectable skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture and elasticity by using a high level of Hyaluronic Acid.
An amazing before and after result after 2 sessions of Profhilo. The skin is clearly more lifted and overall has a smoother looking appearance.
Another great treatment option is Polynucleotides. Polynucleotides is an injectable treatment which is clinically proven to stimulate collagen production and improve bio-regeneration of the patients skin. They can be injected all over the face or in more targeted areas such as under the eyes. Following treatment you can expect your skin to be firmer, smoother and more radiant.
Sagging Skin
There are numerous treatment options that can address sagging skin and loss of volume. PDO Threads, RF Micro-needling (Vivace) and Dermal Fillers are some of our most effective treatments.
RF Microneedling, known as Vivace, is an innovative treatment that uses a combination of radio frequency and micro-needling. It is highly effective in rebuilding collagen and tightening the skin.
Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment option used to restore definition, dermal filler is a perfect treatment option for those individuals who are experiencing loss of volume. At Revitalise Skincare Clinic, we use the highest quality filler which is applied using advanced and precise techniques.
PDO Threads are used to lift and tighten sagging skin, this treatment is also referred to as a non-surgical face lift. The threads are inserted into the skin through a very fine needle or cannula. A lifted appearance can usually be seen immediately following the treatment. The results will improve in the following days and weeks as the PDO stimulates neocollagenesis, which in turn produces collagen. The overall texture of the skin is improved; it becomes thicker, tighter, firmer and fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed away.
An amazing before and after result using PDO Threads, the treatment has given this patient a more lifted appearance and a more defined jawline.
Wrinkles
For addressing increased wrinkles we would recommend Botox, also known as anti-wrinkle injections. This is an injectable treatment that decreases fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a smoother looking complexion.
Another treatment option is Teosyal Skin Booster injections. This injection uses a unique Hyaluronic Acid that hydrates and repairs the skin, it is a great choice for patients who don’t want Botox. The injections prevent premature skin ageing and contain ingredients naturally found in the skin to act as a skin enhancer and revitaliser.
Below we have a great before and after 1 treatment of Teosyal Skin Booster injections, you can see a noticeable decrease in fine lines and wrinkles.

Increased Facial Hair
During menopause, very often women notice an increase of dark, coarse facial hair. This happens because the body stops circulating the hormone estrogen but still continues to circulate the hormone testosterone, leading to the body having more active testosterone.
If you are struggling with increased facial hair due to menopause we can offer laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is effective at removing hair not just from the face but other body parts too. This technology works by heating beneath the skin to alter the function of the hair follicle. The melanin within the hair will attract the laser pulses which conduct heat, resulting in permanent hair reduction.
Waving, shaving and plucking are all temporary solutions to removing unwanted body hair. If you are looking for a long term option that is safe and effective laser hair removal could be for you.
Acne
Acne affects individuals of all ages but typically occurs during puberty. Unfortunately, due to hormonal changes many women can experience acne whist going through the menopause. Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that can cause oily skin, spots and pimples to develop on the face and body.
At Revitalise Skincare Clinic we offer bespoke treatments for individuals who are struggling with acne. One of our most popular treatment options is Plasma Shower. Plasma Shower is an advanced technology that generates tri-oxygen which kills 99% of acne bacteria, reduces inflammation and promotes skin healing.
Alongside our Plasma Shower treatment we would highly recommend using Prescription Skincare. We offer a range of medical grade, prescription only skincare products. Medical grade skincare products are made of higher quality ingredients than over the counter products, meaning they are formulated with a higher strength and provide more effective results.
