Menopause Skin & Hair Changes
YOUR SKIN CHANGED. YOUR TREATMENT PLAN SHOULD TOO.
Perimenopause and menopause can change skin you thought you knew.
You may suddenly notice dry skin, fine lines, loss of firmness, pigmentation, adult acne, rough texture or facial hair - even if these were never concerns before.
At Kalani Clinic, we treat the skin and cosmetic hair concerns that can appear during perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, with treatments selected around what your skin needs now.
DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?
Menopause doesn't look the same on every woman's skin.
One woman notices dryness. Another starts breaking out again. Another suddenly sees pigmentation, texture or facial hair that wasn't bothering her before.
WHAT ARE YOU NOTICING?
WHY IS MY SKIN SO BAD IN MENOPAUSE?
If you've found yourself asking this, you're not imagining the change.
As oestrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, changes can occur in skin hydration, collagen, elasticity and oil production. At the same time, years of sun exposure and natural ageing continue to affect the skin.
The result can be skin that suddenly feels or looks very different.
You might notice:
Dryness & Dehydration
Skin feels tight, rough, flaky or less comfortable.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Lines can become more noticeable as skin loses some of its previous plumpness.
Loss of Firmness
Skin may feel thinner or less resilient.
Pigmentation & Age Spots
Sun spots, uneven pigmentation and accumulated sun damage may become more noticeable.
Adult Acne & Congestion
Breakouts can return - sometimes around the chin and jawline.
Dull or Rough Texture
Skin may no longer look as smooth or radiant.
Facial Hair
Some women notice more obvious hair around the chin, upper lip or jawline.
HOW TO FIX MENOPAUSAL SKIN?
There isn't one treatment that fixes menopausal skin because there isn't one type of menopausal skin.
At Kalani, we match the concern to the treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A low-estrogen face can look drier, thinner, less plump and less firm, with fine lines and changes in texture becoming more noticeable. Lower oestrogen can affect collagen, elasticity and skin hydration, but you cannot determine someone's oestrogen level by looking at their face.
Your skin may not return to exactly how it behaved before menopause, but many of the changes that bother you can still be improved. Dryness, dullness, pigmentation, texture, fine lines and facial hair can all be addressed individually with the right skincare or professional treatment.
The best skincare for menopausal skin is usually gentle, hydrating, barrier-supporting and protective. A good routine should include gentle cleansing, adequate moisturisation and daily broad-spectrum SPF, with active ingredients chosen according to your individual concerns rather than your age alone.

To support collagen after menopause, protect existing collagen from UV damage and use skincare or professional treatments that support skin renewal. At Kalani, Skin Needling is one treatment used when the goal is to improve fine lines, texture and overall skin quality by stimulating the skin's natural repair response.
Yes, it's normal for ageing changes to become more noticeable around menopause. Declining oestrogen can affect collagen, hydration and elasticity, which can make fine lines, dryness, reduced plumpness and loss of firmness more visible.
To make 50-year-old skin glow, focus on hydration, smooth texture, sun protection and the specific concerns making your complexion look dull. If dryness, congestion, pigmentation or rough texture is taking away the glow, treating that underlying concern will usually do more than simply adding another brightening product.
You get a dewier glow on older skin by improving hydration and smoothing the skin's surface so it reflects light more evenly. Gentle exfoliation, good moisturisation, daily SPF and treatments such as HydraFacial can help when dryness, dehydration or surface build-up is making skin look flat.
Looking younger after menopause doesn't require trying to erase every sign of ageing. Improving hydration, texture, pigmentation, fine lines and overall skin quality can make the face look fresher and healthier while still looking like you.
You can improve the appearance of skin after 50 by targeting the loss of firmness, texture and collagen contributing to the concern. The right approach depends on how much laxity is present and what is causing the appearance, because skincare and non-surgical skin treatments have different limitations.
