Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable shift in attitudes and awareness surrounding menopause. This change is largely due to a growing number of women openly discussing their experiences, increased media coverage, and greater acceptance of menopause as a natural part of ageing.
At SkinViva Clinic, we’ve noticed more women questioning what changes they can expect in their skin during the perimenopause/menopause process and into post-menopause.
SkinViva’s Dr Shazia shared her advice on how menopause affects the skin in a short video:
Shazia says:
“So are you worried about menopause and your skin?
“I’m Dr Shazia and as a breast surgeon I’m always asked about how menopause will affect skin and ageing, and about women’s health.
“So really it’s important that you prepare for that stage of your life by being well informed.
“One of the commonest things that women experience with the menopause is sagging of the skin which can cause a drop, loss of collagen because of the loss of elasticity and also fine lines – and a lot of this is contributed to the lack of oestrogen as you go through the menopause and the suppression of female hormones.
“We can give you lots of advice on how to avoid that and prepare for that.”
So if you think that hormonal changes are affecting your skin, why not book a free consultation to find out more. Our clinicians are all medically qualified (doctors, dentists or nurses) and can offer expert diagnosis and advice based on their extensive experience. They can advise on how to care for your skin at home as well as recommending treatments that could help.
SkinViva Clinic is proud to welcome and embrace the increased openness about the menopause. It’s great to see more women comfortably discussing menopause openly, breaking down the stigma and taboos associated with it. This openness has helped to normalise the experience and create a more supportive environment for women going through menopause.
The media has played a huge and vital part in raising awareness through television, print, and online platforms. This increased visibility has helped to educate the public about the symptoms, challenges, and treatments associated with menopause. The medical and wellness communities have also become more focused on addressing the needs of menopausal women. This includes increased research, development of new treatments, and greater emphasis on preventive care. In addition, there is a growing recognition of the impact that menopause can have on women’s health, productivity, and well-being. This has led to increased efforts to create more menopause-friendly workplaces and to promote policies that support women during this transition.
The internet has played a significant role in connecting women going through menopause. Online communities and support groups provide a platform for women to share experiences, seek advice, and offer support to one another.
The increased awareness and acceptance of menopause have led to a more supportive and understanding environment for women. This shift is empowering women to take control of their health and well-being during this important life stage.
