Perimenopause / Menopause
What is Perimenopause and Menopause?
Perimenopause is the period of hormonal fluctuation before menopause officially begins. It typically starts in the 40s, though it can begin earlier, and may last up to ten years. This phase ends when you’ve gone 12 months without a menstrual period. From that point forward, you’re considered postmenopausal.
What causes Perimenopause and Menopause?
Oestrogen plays a central role in maintaining skin quality. It aids in the stimulation of collagen production and elastin, supports moisture retention, improves healing, and maintains the skin’s natural barrier function. As oestrogen declines, so too does the skin’s ability to stay hydrated, firm, and resilient. The skin’s elastin also naturally degrades over time.
This hormonal shift is at the core of many perimenopause skin changes, including increased dryness, reduced elasticity, and a slower repair cycle.
At Australian Skin Clinics, we help women understand what’s happening beneath the surface,
offering science-led treatments and personalised care designed to support skin through every hormonal milestone.
