Is Your Skin Ageing Faster in Peri-Menopause?

As women enter their 40s and early 50s, subtle signs of skin ageing can start to accelerate. You might notice increased dryness, fine lines that deepen more quickly, or a loss of firmness that seems to appear overnight. This shift is not your imagination— peri-menopause plays a significant role in how your skin behaves.

At The Treatment Centre, we believe in helping you understand why these changes happen, so we can work together to support your skin with treatments and care that are as unique as you are.

Peri-menopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically beginning in the mid-to-late 40s but sometimes earlier. During this time, hormone levels—particularly oestrogen—begin to fluctuate and gradually decline. These hormonal changes affect more than just your cycle or mood; they directly impact skin function and structure.

Oestrogen is a powerhouse hormone for skin health. It:

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production

• Maintains skin hydration and barrier integrity

• Supports blood flow and skin density

• Regulates sebum (oil) production

As oestrogen declines, the skin can become:

• Thinner and less elastic

• Drier and more prone to irritation

• More wrinkled and saggy, especially around the eyes, jawline, and neck

• Slower to heal and more sensitive to environmental stressors

These changes can give the impression that skin is “ageing faster,” when in fact it’s responding to a powerful internal shift.

Every woman’s skin journey is unique, but common concerns during this stage include:

• A sudden increase in fine lines or wrinkles

• Noticeable loss of volume or sagging

• Changes in skin tone or the appearance of pigmentation

• Dullness and decreased glow

• Skin that feels dry no matter how much moisturiser you use

These changes are not just cosmetic—they can affect how you feel in your skin. That’s why it’s important to approach this time with knowledge, self-compassion, and expert support.

At The Treatment Centre, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We approach peri-menopausal skin ageing with the same philosophy that defines all our care: personalised, holistic, and results-focused.

We offer skin therapies tailored to stimulate collagen, enhance hydration, and support skin resilience, such as:

• LED light therapy (Healite)

• Clinical-grade hydrating and firming facials

• Gentle resurfacing treatments

• Skin barrier repair protocols

• Skin Needling

• RF Skin Needling 

We guide you toward formulations that are:

• Rich in peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants

• Supportive of the skin’s microbiome

• Free from harsh fragrances or irritants that peri-menopausal skin may no longer tolerate

Healthy skin starts from within. Reaching out for internal support to help holistically.

Your skin is evolving, and your treatment plan should evolve too. We’re here to walk with you through the changes, adjusting your regimen as your needs shift over time.

Experiencing accelerated skin ageing during peri-menopause can be confronting, but it doesn’t have to be discouraging. With the right support and care, you can restore vitality to your skin and confidence in yourself.
