Functional dermatology takes a holistic approach to menopausal skincare by addressing the root causes of skin issues rather than just treating symptoms. It combines functional medicine with dermatological practices to provide personalized care tailored to each woman’s needs. By identifying factors like stress, sleep, and diet that contribute to skin changes during menopause, this approach targets the underlying causes of skin issues. Integrating conventional dermatology with natural and alternative treatments ensures optimal results for menopausal skin.
Caused by:
Hormonal Changes: Lower estrogen levels reduce the skin’s natural oil production.

Estrogen is crucial for collagen synthesis; its decline leads to decreased firmness.
Gravity and Time: Natural aging processes exacerbate sagging, more pronounced wrinkles and fine lines.

Thinner Skin: Reduced collagen makes skin more fragile.
Environmental Factors: Sensitivity to sun, wind, and pollutants increases.
