Menopause and Thinning Skin: Restoring Strength and Elasticity

Menopause and Thinning Skin: Restoring Strength and Elasticity

At The Treatment Centre, we believe in walking beside you through every stage of your skin health journey, and menopause is a significant chapter for many. It’s a time of transformation, both internally and externally, and one of the most commonly reported changes during this phase is thinning skin.

Understanding why your skin changes during menopause—and how to support it—can make all the difference in maintaining its strength, elasticity, and vitality.

Why Skin Thins During Menopause

As oestrogen levels drop during menopause, the skin undergoes several physiological changes. Oestrogen plays a vital role in the production of collagen, elastin, and natural oils that keep skin firm, hydrated, and resilient. With its decline:

  • Collagen production slows, leading to thinner, more fragile skin.

  • Elastic fibres degrade, causing sagging and loss of bounce.

  • Skin hydration decreases, making the skin appear dull and more prone to fine lines.

This shift isn’t just cosmetic. Thinner skin is also more susceptible to bruising, irritation, and environmental damage.

Supporting Your Skin Holistically

We approach menopausal skin changes with compassion and a comprehensive strategy. Restoring strength and elasticity starts with understanding your skin’s unique needs and addressing them from both the inside and out.

1. Personalised Skincare Treatments

Our tailored treatment plans may include therapies that stimulate collagen and elastin production, such as:

  • LED Light Therapy: Promotes healing and reduces inflammation while encouraging collagen regeneration.

  • Microneedling: A minimally invasive treatment that can improve texture, firmness, and skin thickness.

  • Hydrating and firming Skin Treatments: Designed to nourish and restore the skin barrier.

Each treatment is selected based on your skin’s current condition and long-term goals.

2. Medical-Grade Skincare Products

Products rich in peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants can help rebuild the skin’s structural integrity. We recommend:

  • Peptide serums to support collagen synthesis.

  • Hydrating moisturisers containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin to plump and protect.

  • Retinoids (used judiciously) to encourage skin renewal and resilience.

We’ll help guide you toward a regimen that suits your lifestyle and comfort level.

3. Nutrition and Lifestyle Support

Skin is a reflection of your overall well-being. Nutritional support—particularly with foods rich in omega-3s, vitamin C, and protein—can enhance skin elasticity from the inside out. We also encourage:

  • Staying well-hydrated

  • Managing stress through practices like mindfulness or yoga

  • Regular, gentle exercise to support circulation and skin health

These lifestyle elements work in harmony with professional care to restore balance during this time of transition.

Empowering You Through Education

Menopause is not the end of vibrant skin—it's an opportunity to recalibrate your approach. We believe education is empowering, so we take the time to explain every recommendation, helping you make informed, confident decisions about your care.
