Hormones and Your Skin

Hormonal changes throughout life have a profound effect on skin health and aging. Understanding this connection helps you address skin concerns more effectively.

Key Hormonal Shifts

Declining estrogen during menopause reduces collagen and moisture, leading to dryness, thinning, and sagging. Fluctuations in androgens can trigger acne, while cortisol from stress accelerates aging. These changes influence how your skin looks and feels.

Managing Hormonal Aging

Skincare, hormone therapy (when appropriate), and aesthetic treatments can help counteract hormonal skin changes. A dermatologist or surgeon can recommend a plan tailored to your stage of life.
