Bangi Station Dermatology: Skin Care for Women in Their 50s and 60s Going Through Menopause, Including Lifting and Pigment Treatment

Menopausal Skin Care

Hello, this is Jamsil On Dermatology!

When menopause begins, it is not only your body that changes—noticeable changes also start to appear in the skin. Many people can relate to feeling that the face in the mirror no longer looks the same, that makeup does not sit well, or that the skin tone has suddenly become dry and dull. These changes are a natural process, but depending on how you care for your skin, the pace and degree of skin aging can vary greatly :)

Menopausal Skin Care

What is menopause?

Menopause refers to the period when a woman’s ovarian function gradually declines and the hormonal balance changes significantly. It usually begins in the late 40s to early 50s, and becomes fully underway once menstruation becomes irregular and then stops completely.

In fact, it is known that more than 60% of women experience various symptoms related to menopause! It is not just a change in menstruation, but also affects body temperature regulation, bone health, vascular function, and skin condition. So rather than thinking of menopause simply as an aging process, it is important to understand it as a major turning point that brings changes to overall daily life.

<What is menopause?>

• A period caused by declining ovarian function in women

• A time when estrogen secretion decreases sharply

• Changes in bodily functions / skin becoming thin and dry

When female hormones decrease, noticeable changes also appear in the skin. As collagen synthesis decreases and the skin’s ability to retain moisture weakens, the skin becomes dry, and the thinned skin starts to wrinkle and sag more easily. In addition, reduced resistance to ultraviolet rays makes pigmentation such as melasma and spots more likely to develop, which is one of the key features of menopause.

In the end, the skin problems that appear during menopause are not simply the result of age, but have a clear cause: hormonal changes. That is why care methods also need to be customized with the cause in mind, and if appropriate treatment is combined with good lifestyle habits, it is possible to slow the pace of aging and protect skin health. Next, let’s look at specific care methods from the next slide :)

• Pigmentation / dry skin

• Reduced elasticity / more pronounced wrinkles

Menopausal Skin Care 01. Pigment Treatment

First, for pigmentation that has noticeably increased compared to the past, laser treatment is used effectively. One representative device, Hollywood Spectra, is characterized by finely breaking down melanin pigment while minimizing skin damage. It can manage melasma, spots, and enlarged pores at the same time, making it a method often recommended for women going through menopause.

Meanwhile, PicoPlus uses technology that quickly breaks down and removes pigment with shorter pulses than conventional lasers. It has a low risk of skin damage while delivering clear treatment results, and can also help with stubborn, treatment-resistant melasma that tends to recur. Both devices have the advantage of a short recovery period and minimal disruption to daily life, so many people choose them without feeling burdened.

Menopausal Skin Care 02. Facial Contour Sagging

If skin sagging and reduced elasticity are noticeable, laser lifting procedures can help. Titanium lifting uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to deliver thermal energy all the way to the fascial layer within the skin, restoring elasticity from the deeper layers of the skin. It tightens sagging skin without damaging the surface, producing a firming effect!

Thermage FLX works by using radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen in the skin. As time passes after treatment, newly formed collagen fills the skin more densely, softening fine lines and smoothing skin texture. Both devices are useful for improving the loss of skin elasticity that often appears in women during menopause.

• Titanium lifting: delivers light energy throughout the skin

• Improves elasticity in the dermis / softens fine lines

• LinearZ: linear energy delivery / even effect

• Improves sagging contours / less pain than existing HIFU

Menopausal Skin Care 03. Reduced Elasticity

In addition to Titanium and Thermage, there are also options such as Tensurma and LinearZ. Each helps improve skin elasticity and regeneration through different mechanisms! Tensurma delivers radiofrequency energy evenly, helping to firm up the overall tissue within the skin. One advantage is that it can be applied not only to the face but also to sensitive areas such as the neck and around the eyes.

LinearZ uses a linear focused ultrasound method, which causes less pain than conventional ultrasound lifting and can provide a more even lifting effect. It stimulates the deeper layers of the skin evenly, improves elasticity, and strongly lifts sagging areas. It may be a suitable choice when you want to improve menopausal skin sagging more effectively. In addition, you can also benefit from procedures such as skin boosters or collagen boosters.
