Perimenopausal & Menopausal Skin

A clinical consultation with Dr Jessie.

Perimenopause and menopause bring hormonal changes that can affect skin, hair, weight and how the face and body look. Dr Jessie provides a considered medical consultation to assess what is driving those changes — and which steps, if any, are appropriate for you.

 

Mood, sleep, tummy weight and hot flushes are widely recognised. Fewer people are told how this phase can also change skin quality, barrier function, collagen, volume and colour. Dr Jessie’s approach is to assess the foundations first, so later treatments have the best chance of working well.

Start earlier if you can. Prevention is simpler than repair.

Dr Jessie’s Pathway

Steps 1–3 are recommended for most people. The rest are added only where your assessment shows they are needed. Some steps help more than one concern at once.

1

Assess hormone support
A medical review of whether hormone support may be appropriate for you. Not everyone is eligible — this is decided in consultation, not assumed.

2

Repair and protect the barrier
Restore barrier function and daily SPF. This is the foundation for skin health — and for every treatment that follows.

3

Address skin quality — Tixel
Tixel uses precise heat to support collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and can also deliver prescribed topicals more deeply.

4

Address colour changes
Pigmentation and uneven tone, planned around your skin and the earlier steps.

5

Address laxity
Skin tightening where sagging is a concern, after the foundations are in place.

6

Address volume and lines
Where volume loss or wrinkles are part of the picture, discussed in a doctor consultation.

7

Body changes
Fat redistribution — tummy, chin, hands — reviewed as part of whole-person care, not in isolation.

8

Prevention and maintenance
An ongoing plan so results are held, not only achieved.

The Foundations

Personalised, and in this order, unless your assessment says otherwise.

Hormone support, if appropriate

During consultation, Dr Jessie reviews whether hormone support may be suitable. Eligibility is individual. Nothing is prescribed from this page — only after a proper medical assessment.

Barrier repair and SPF

Your skin barrier protects against UV, pollution and irritation, and helps the body stay in balance. When it is disrupted, everything else is harder. We favour Korean barrier-repair care — at Pearl, SKIN1004 Centella and Probio-Cica are our core recommendation: physiologic lipids, calming formulas, and daily SPF. Prescription creams may be added where they are indicated.

Tixel for skin quality

Tixel is a pure-heat treatment used here to support collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, or as a delivery system for prescribed topicals. If a vitamin A prescription is appropriate, it is typically started at least two weeks before Tixel.

Whole-Person Care

Skin is rarely the only change in this phase. Our doctors also consult on weight management and hair concerns where they sit alongside menopausal skin. One assessment, a plan that can hold more than one thread.
