Let’s talk menopause.
The ultimate “we don’t care club” initiation (if you have any social presence you know exactly what I am talking about!).
Hormones go rogue, patience goes missing, and somehow your skin breaks out, falls off, drives up and pretty much turns on you. But menopause doesn’t mean you are stuck with dull, dry, blotchy, bumpy skin forever.
Nope, we have all sorts of treatments that will get your skin glowing again!
What Happens to Skin Before and After Menopause
During perimenopause (which can start as early as 40), estrogen levels begin to drop. And since Estrogen is your skin’s best friend — it keeps collagen production humming, maintains hydration, and gives you that springy, luminous look – when it takes a nosedive, so does your collagen – and that when your skin starts to change.
DYK: women can lose up to 30% of collagen in the first five years after menopause.
This is when your skin becomes thinner, drier, and less firm. Fine lines deepen, pores become more noticeable, and the texture shifts. Post-menopause, things stabilize a bit — but without estrogen’s daily support, the skin’s renewal process slows down, too.
How Medspa Treatments Help
At this stage, medspa treatments aren’t about turning back time — they’re about supporting what your skin is missing.
Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify):
They relax wrinkle-causing muscles, but the real secret? They also change how you feel. There’s fascinating research showing Botox can actually improve mood — when you can’t frown as easily, your brain gets fewer “I’m stressed” signals. Translation: smoother skin and a lighter mindset.
Microneedling and RF Microneedling:
Microneedling is wonderful for your skin, especially after the age of 40. By creating controlled micro-injuries, your skin starts producing new collagen and elastin, giving you that youthful plumpness and smoothness.
Biostimulators (like Sculptra or EZGel):
Menopause can cause facial volume loss, especially around the cheeks and temples. Biostimulators rebuild that support structure gradually and naturally — no overfilled look, just healthy, lifted contours.
SkinVive and Hydrating Fillers:
If your skin feels chronically dry, in addition to the right skin care products, these are your hydration helpers. They restore glow, smoothness, and that supple bounce estrogen used to deliver on its own.
Laser Treatments
Sun damage, brown spots, and melasma (so many spots!) often become more noticeable during and after menopause. LaseMD Ultra is a gentle-yet-powerful laser resurfacing treatment that helps even skin tone, fade pigment, and boost radiance without major downtime. It works by stimulating cell renewal and collagen remodeling, giving you clearer, brighter, more youthful-looking skin — ideal for the “I want glow, not peeling” crowd.
The Emotional Side: Confidence Is a Collagen Booster
Medspa treatments aren’t vanity. They’re vitality.
During and after menopause, many women say they start to feel invisible. These treatments help you reconnect with yourself — not to look twenty again, but to look like you, refreshed and confident. That moment when you catch your reflection and think, “There I am”? That’s powerful medicine.
Joining the “we don’t care club” doesn’t mean you’ve stopped caring. It means you’ve stopped apologizing. You’re done explaining yourself — and if you want smoother skin while you’re at it, that’s just good strategy.
