Aesthetic Treatments That Help Patients With Menopause Symptoms
Throughout October we focus on women’s health. Here at Cape Islands Plastic Surgery, we frequently help our patients address the signs of aging which can often include menopause symptoms. Menopause is one of the largest transitions in a woman’s health. There are a variety of effects and symptoms related to menopause, and menopause often goes hand-in-hand with other signs of aging. At our offices, we pride ourselves on looking at how we can tailor unique treatment plans that combine the right procedures to help our patients address their concerns.
How Does Menopause Affect Women’s Skin?
At its core menopause causes a huge hormonal shift for women. Changes in hormone production can have large effects on the body. Skin changes are extremely common for patients who are experiencing menopause. Skin will often dry out and can even appear thinner. There is often a large decrease in the production of collagen and elastic which can lead to more pronounced lines and wrinkles.
Botox, Fillers & Other Injectables for Menopause Symptoms
Botox Cosmetic and dermal fillers are often used to help women address the signs of aging by decreasing the visibility of lines and wrinkles. There are two main categories of injectables that can help women address how menopause affects their skin: neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Neuromodulators work by decreasing the movement of muscles in the treatment area to decrease the visibility of lines and wrinkles. Some common neuromodulators include Botox Cosmetic, Xeomin, and DAXXIFY. Dermal fillers utilize hyaluronic acid and other ingredients to help stimulate collage production below the skin. Combined together the two treatments can help make the skin appear more youthful.
What Skincare Treatments Are Recommended For Menopause?
A defining characteristic of menopause is that it decreases the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. In order to reverse this, it is helpful to look into skincare treatments that help the body produce more collagen. For example, laser skin resurfacing treatments or treatments like Morpheus8 can help improve the overall health and look of the skin. Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency and microneedling to both stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.
How Can Nutrafol Help Women Improve The Health Of Their Hair?
Another common menopause symptom is hair loss or hair thinning. Changes in hormone balance can cause women’s hair to thin out. For patients who have concerns about hair loss, we recommend Nutrafol. Nutrafol is a supplement treatment that helps patients thicken their hair.
Surgical Treatments That Help Patients with Menopause
If you are looking for more dramatic results, you might want to consider surgical treatments. Many women look into treatments like blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) or facelift to address loose or sagging skin around their eyes and cheeks. There are also a variety of surgical treatments that can help address different areas of the body. For example, we have helped many women with breast lift and breast augmentation surgeries that restore the volume and shape of their breasts. Additionally, abdominoplasties or tummy tucks can help remove excess skin and reshape the abdomen. Other patients consider full body treatments like a mommy makeover which combines a variety of surgical treatments to help patients who are looking for a complete transformation.
