Thérapie Clinic’s Doctors in Ireland support all those experiencing the Menopause and Perimenopause with skincare advice and treatment tips this World Menopause Day:

 

Dr. Ruaa Elhelali from Thérapie clinic comments: “Due to a reduction in collagen formation, shrinking of fat pads and bone during menopause, it is usual to experience a loss of volume and support to the skin and an increase in skin dryness. The reduction and changes in hormone levels with menopause, results in sagging in the cheek, jawlines, and neck, increasing fine lines and wrinkles. But there is an array of safe and effective in-clinic treatment solutions.’

What happens to the skin before, during and after menopause?  

As a result of reduction and changes in hormone levels with menopause, noticeable skin changes include loss of elasticity, loss of volume, dryness, sagging, and an increase in fine lines and wrinkles

Which treatments help with dry or sensitive skin due to menopause symptoms?

 

  • Profhilo – injectable HA (hyaluronic acid) used to infuse moisture back into the skin and stimulates collagen production
  • Hydrafacials are also very effective to treat dehydrated skin

 

How can you boost collagen production which dramatically slows down during menopause?

  • Micro needling boosts collagen production – a course of 4-6 treatment is recommend
  • Skin Peels for example the Obagi radiance blue peel

 

How can you treat skin sagging and loss of volume?

  • Carefully placed dermal filler to replace lost volume rather than create unnatural volume
  • Hybrid dermal filler like NEW HArmonyCA helps boost volume with immediate effect whilst encouraging long-term natural collagen production in the skin

Menopause Skincare Tips From Thérapie Clinic:  

  • Profhilo - (RRP: €575.00) – This is an injectable skin bio-remodelling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and helps to significantly improve tissue quality whilst infusing moisture back into the skin. This treatment works well on all skin types and ages. Thérapie Clinic recommend two to three initial treatments four weeks apart and then have one treatment every three months 

  • HydraFacial’s – (RRP: €129.95) – The HydraFacial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing and rejuvenating treatment which combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection. This treatment is ideal for everyone, treating fine lines and wrinkles, as well as targeting hyperpigmentation. The HydraFacial gives instant results and leaves you with hydrated, beautiful skin and a more youthful appearance with no aftercare needed. This is one of the most popular treatments at Thérapie Clinic. 

  • Micro Needling -  (RRP: €149.95) – There are advanced aesthetic treatments that may improve the skin of women who are of menopausal age. As the aim is to strengthen collagen and boost skin elasticity, making medical micro-needling an ideal choice. Thérapie Clinic recommends a course of four to six micro-needling. Micro-needling treatments are designed to damage the skin in a controlled way, using tiny needles. This process encourages the skin to heal stronger than before. 
      

  • Chemical Peels -  (RRP: €99.95) – A series of light chemical peels such as the Obagi Radiance Blue Peel from Thérapie Clinic will improve skin tone and texture — jump-starting collagen production and sloughing off dead skin cells to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion. Chemical peels are available in varying concentrations, so talk to one of Thérapie Clinics experts about what peel is right for you. They can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, and hands 

  • Injectables - (RRP: €145.00) – Menopause can cause sagging especially around the neck, jawline, and cheeks, increasing fine lines and wrinkles. The VIP of treatments for signs of aging is, of course, Injectables. By weakening the muscles that pull with each movement to create dynamic wrinkles, it can help smooth out the area into which it is injected. It can also help any perimenopausal hot flashes by reducing how much your body sweats. Due to loss of volume causing increased sagging with age and time, Injectables can be used to restore loss of volume gradually and naturally. Essentially, we are trying to replace lost volume rather than giving unnatural new volume which is the biggest fear for patients. When volume is restored methodically starting with the upper, mid then lower face and finishing with refinements in delicate areas like the lips, perioral lines and around the eyes in different treatment sessions we can achieve subtle yet beautiful and life-changing results 

Thérapie Clinic uses its experience and skills to make sure the skin treatments you choose are the most suitable for your skin type and any conditions so that you can feel confident and beautiful during this time of your life!
