Arlington Perimenopause & Menopause Solutions
Restore Balance & Revitalize Your Skin
Experiencing changes in skin texture, laxity, or volume from perimenopause or menopause? Our expert team offers advanced dermatologic treatments to rejuvenate your skin and restore your confidence.
Understanding The Transition
Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages of life, but the hormonal changes that come with them, particularly declining estrogen and progesterone, can have a noticeable impact on your skin, hair, and body composition. Many women experience dry or thinning skin, increased laxity, stubborn fat in new areas, and loss of muscle tone.
At SkinDC, our board-certified dermatologists specialize in helping women navigate these changes with advanced, nonsurgical treatments that restore confidence and enhance long-term skin health.
Differences Between Perimenopause and Menopause
Many women use the terms interchangeably, but perimenopause and menopause are distinct stages, and each affects your skin and body differrently.
Perimenopause
Perimenopause usually begins in your 40s (sometimes earlier) and can last several years. Hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, start to fluctuate. These shifts can lead to:
- Increased dryness and irritation in the skin
- Early signs of laxity and loss of collagen
- Weight redistribution, especially around the abdomen
- Breakouts due to hormonal swings
Menopause
Menopause is officially reached when you have gone 12 consecutive months without a menstural period, typically in your late 40s to 50s. Estrogen levels drop more significantly at this point, leading to:
- Thinning, crepey skin and loss of elasticity
- More visible wrinkles and fine lines
- Increased fat accumulation and muscle loss
- Slower healing and reduced natural glow
How Perimenopause and Menopause Affect Skin & Body
Skin Changes
The decline in estrogen impacts collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. Many women notice their skin becoming thinner, looser, and more prone to wrinkles or sagging. Hormonal fluctuations may also cause acne, redness, or pigmentation changes.
Body Changes
Shifts in hormone balance can alter how the body stores fat. Even with diet and exercise, you may notice increased fat around the abdomen, thighs, or arms, along with a decrease in muscle tone.
