Menopause Skin Treatments: Restoring Balance to the Ageing Face

Menopause brings one of the fastest periods of change the face will go through. As oestrogen and progesterone fall, the skin and the deeper structures beneath it lose their hormonal support, and texture, tone and contour all start to shift. This guide covers the menopause skin treatments Dr Sebagh uses in his London clinic, and the at-home routine that keeps their results going.

“In the clinic, we can go further. Depending on each person’s skin, I may combine treatments that stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.” Dr Sebagh

How menopause changes the face

The changes go deeper than the skin’s surface, which is why skincare alone can only do so much.

• Collagen and elastin loss. Studies suggest up to 30% of the skin’s collagen may be lost in the first five years after menopause, leading to slackening and wrinkles.
• Dryness and sensitivity. Less hyaluronic acid and fewer natural lipids leave skin dry, fragile and easily irritated.
• Slower cell renewal. Tone becomes uneven, pigmentation more visible and skin loses its luminosity.
• Structural change. Bone resorption, muscle relaxation and shifting fat pads reshape the face and cause volume loss.

Together they show up as softer cheeks, a less defined jawline, deeper lines and duller skin. The neck often shows it first.

“The neck is often one of the first areas to show hormonal ageing.” Dr Sebagh

Dr Sebagh’s approach: prepare, treat, maintain

At Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh’s clinic, menopause is treated as a chapter, not a loss. The aim is to restore balance and quality to the skin with advanced, non-surgical treatments, chosen and combined for each person after a consultation.

“Menopause is simply a chapter in the ageing journey. The goal is not to fight it. The goal is to understand what is changing, and to adapt our skincare and treatments.” Dr Sebagh

This is what Dr Sebagh calls ageing-maintenance. Prepare the skin before the changes arrive. Treat them as they appear. Maintain the results at home.

1. 3D Thread Lift & Soft Surgery

A cornerstone of Dr Sebagh’s Soft Surgery philosophy, this non-surgical facelift restores structure, tone and definition. It uses PLLA/PCL double-needle threads, combined with autologous fat transfer and regenerative stimulators (PRP, PRF, exosomes or PDRN). The result is a natural lift, replenished volume, firmer skin and a more defined facial contour.

Results: visible after 3 weeks, optimal at 3 months.
Downtime: 3 to 7 days.

2. Regenerative injections for menopausal skin

For thinning, dullness and loss of glow after menopause, regenerative boosters such as exosomes, PRF and polynucleotides activate fibroblasts and collagen production. They improve elasticity, firmness, texture and overall skin quality.

Dr Sebagh’s Ultimate Skin Booster combines exosomes, polynucleotides, growth factors, hyaluronic acid and multivitamins for deep cellular renewal. It targets the visible signs of hormone-related ageing, including loss of firmness, uneven tone and reduced luminosity, and restores hydration and glow.

3. Laser, light and energy-based treatments

Resurfacing lasers such as CO2 laser and Fraxel Dual stimulate dermal renewal, softening fine lines, pigmentation and crepiness. IPL targets redness and uneven tone, which often increase with hot flushes.

To tighten the deeper layers, Dr Sebagh uses monopolar radiofrequency and radiofrequency microneedling, and The Ultralift (HIFU), which lifts by targeting the muscle layer beneath the skin. Each offers non-invasive lifting for the face, jawline and neck.

4. Injectables and volume restoration

Hyaluronic acid fillers and biostimulators (Radiesse, PLLA) restore lost volume and improve dermal thickness. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is placed with precision to soften expression lines while keeping natural movement, never a frozen look.

5. At home: the Menopause Edit

Clinic results last longer with the right care at home. Dr Sebagh’s Menopause Edit brings together the formulas he recommends for skin going through hormonal change.

• Retinol Night Repair, 30ml and 50ml PRO size. 0.3% retinol for renewal and texture, cushioned for sensitive skin.
• Replenishing Cream. Made for mature and menopausal skin, with soy isoflavones and retinyl palmitate.
• Supreme Neck Lift. Instant tightening and long-term collagen support for the neck and décolleté.
• Signature Serum. Dr Sebagh’s most advanced serum, supporting firmness, elasticity and cellular energy in mature skin.
• Rose de Vie Serum, Cream Cleanser and Hydrating Mask. Barrier repair and comfort for dry, sensitive skin.

Also worth adding: Serum Repair for hydration and collagen support, and Exo C Booster for dullness and pigmentation.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best treatments for menopausal skin?

It depends on what has changed. Skin boosters and resurfacing help thinning, dullness and texture. Radiofrequency, HIFU and thread lifts address laxity and contour. Fillers and biostimulators restore volume. Most people benefit from a combination, chosen at consultation.

When should I start clinic treatments?

Dr Sebagh’s advice is not to wait. Starting in perimenopause, as the first changes appear, means there is more to maintain and less to correct.

Do I still need skincare if I have clinic treatments?

Yes. Treatments stimulate collagen, but daily care with hydration, barrier support and a retinoid protects and maintains the results.

Can clinic treatments help the neck?

Yes. HIFU, radiofrequency and biostimulators can all treat the neck and jawline. At home, a dedicated neck treatment such as Supreme Neck Lift supports the results.
