Estrogen & Hormone Therapy

Sixty percent of estrogen in premenopausal women is produced by the ovaries. The other 40 percent comes from non-glandular tissues throughout the body. As the ovaries’ functions decline, the estrogen they produce decreases and the body systems adjust with the hormonal changes. The skin contains estrogen receptors, in some areas more than others. The areas with the highest numbers of receptors are most affected. These high receptor areas include the face, genitals and lower limbs.

Skin is less capable of storing moisture in menopausal women. As oils and collagens decrease, the skin becomes thinner and unable to retain its hydration. Laser treatments for deep thermal heating of the skin can help kickstart the synthesis of new collagen, and fibroblasts. Regular cosmetics may irritate thinning skin, so use RX skin care that include water based ( Hyaluronic) serums under your moisturizers, and make sure they contain anti-oxidant ingredients such as , Vitamin C-, Pycnogenols, Peptides, Plant Stem cells, and always use a physical sun block.

Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, benefits skin in women after menopause. A study in the “Journal of Clinical Endrocrinology and Metabolism” supports topical estradiol for postmenopausal enhancement of skin collagen. At our clinic we prefer the use of Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy, based on a blood draw these our tailor made specifically for you.
