The Role of Facial Aesthetics During Perimenopause Using PhilArt
Tackling the effects of perimenopause with facial aesthetics
As women age, many hormonal and chemical changes occur inside the body. While many of these changes are experienced internally, they also show external impacts, including the skin and appearance. This article considers some of those changes and the role of facial aesthetics during perimenopause using PhilArt.
What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is a transitional period of change in the female body leading up to menopause. During this time, a woman’s ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen. While everyone is different, perimenopause typically starts seven to ten years before menopause, affecting women as early as mid-thirties and as late as mid-fifties. On average, it lasts for around four years.
What Happens During Perimenopause?
During perimenopause, the levels of oestrogen and other hormones like progesterone fluctuate, causing various symptoms. This hormonal imbalance occurs as the female ovaries start to run out of eggs. Whereas males can make embryo cells, women are born with all their eggs. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
The main reason perimenopause occurs is because a woman’s ovaries lose their ability to produce normal levels of oestrogen. This natural decline in ovarian function leads to hormonal fluctuations and subsequent termination of menstruation. Perimenopause ends when a woman has reached twelve consecutive months without having a period, at which point they hit menopause.
What Happens to the Skin During Perimenopause?
During perimenopause, the fluctuating and declining levels of oestrogen can lead to several changes in the skin, which result in a loss in quality.
- Dryness and loss of moisture
- Thinning of the skin
- Increased wrinkles and sagging
- Hyperpigmentation and age spots
- Sensitivity and redness.
Oestrogen helps maintain the skin’s ability to retain moisture, stimulates collagen production, and regulates melanin production. As oestrogen levels drop during perimenopause, the skin loses its firmness, plumpness and elasticity, becoming drier and duller. This dryness can make the skin feel tight and rough.
With less oestrogen, collagen levels decrease, causing the skin to thin and become fragile. Fine lines, wrinkles and sagging, especially around the jawline and neck area, are more apparent, and the skin barrier becomes compromised. As this happens, facial skin can become more sensitive, reactive, and prone to redness, rosacea, and irritation from products.
As oestrogen declines, melanin can become overproduced, resulting in dark patches, age spots, and uneven skin tone on the face.
The Role of Facial Aesthetics During Perimenopause
As we age, our skin needs a little help stimulating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Navigating the challenges posed by perimenopause can also knock women’s confidence and self-esteem. Looking good and feeling in control can do wonders for how we present ourselves.
PhilArt is a revolutionary skin booster treatment designed to combat the signs of ageing and improve overall skin quality—perfect for tackling the effects of perimenopause. Treatments use polynucleotides, a.k.a. DNA and RNA (ribonucleic acid) building blocks, to stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes.
- Improved skin elasticity
- Increased hydration
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Restoration of a more youthful appearance
- Regeneration of damaged and ageing tissues
- Enhanced tissue repair and regeneration.
PhilArt promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, which can help improve the skin’s overall texture and tone. This reduces the appearance of age spots and uneven pigmentation and boosts moisture and hydration. The outcome is a plumper, smoother, more radiant appearance—and fewer obvious wrinkles!
Ageing skin can often become more sensitive and prone to inflammation and redness. Hormonal activity can also cause breakouts. PhilArt has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce redness and calm irritated skin.
PhilArt Treatments for Perimenopause
PhilArt can treat various areas of the face and body affected by fluctuating oestrogen, changing hormones and the ageing process. Areas include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and even the scalp for thinning hair.
This flexibility makes it an effective solution for addressing multiple concerns in a single treatment. PhilArt Eye is the only treatment approved to be applied safely and directly to the eye area – one of the first parts of the face to show the signs of ageing. In fact, trials have shown that 91% of patients involved verified visible improvements in reducing superficial fine lines and wrinkles.
By stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative processes, increasing collagen and elastin production, enhancing hydration, and reducing inflammation, PhilArt provides a comprehensive approach to combating the effects of ageing, leaving the skin looking revitalised, radiant, and more youthful.
