Just when you thought your days of skin struggles were behind you—no more teenage acne, no more makeup sliding off your T-zone, no more waking up to a pimple on the day of a big date—bam! Perimenopause hits and suddenly, all bets are off.
As if dealing with the rest of the hormonal rollercoaster wasn’t enough, your skin seems to have joined the rebellion. Your once-smooth complexion now reveals thinning skin, exposing veins and pigmentation you didn’t even know you had. Your eyes, once bright and rested, now seem to carry more bags than a mum on the grocery run with a toddler. Let’s not even get started on those rogue chin hairs—hello, where did you come from? Skin looking dull? Check! And let's not mention the fine lines and general sagging of the skin.
It’s a lot, right? It feels unfair. You’ve worked so hard—raising kids, building careers, creating homes, loving deeply—and now, just as you finally get a little time to focus on yourself, it feels like your reflection is betraying you and its too late.But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be this way.
Ladies, it’s time to take charge. It’s time to prioritise you. The family? They’ve had their turn. The house? It’s running fine. Now, it’s all about investing in the one person who’s been holding it all together—you.
Microneedling and why its a Menopausal Skin Game-Changer.
With over 18 years as a skin specialist, I can confidently say microneedling is the ultimate all-rounder for menopausal skin. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on your skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, kickstarting collagen and elastin production.
The results? Firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin over time.
Here’s why microneedling is perfect for menopausal skin:
* Collagen Boost: Targets thinning, crepey skin, restoring firmness and bounce.
* Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Promotes cell turnover to tackle pigmentation and reveal a radiant complexion.
* Minimises Pores: Tightens skin, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and leaving you glowing.
* Enhances Elasticity: Helps combat sagging, dryness, and fine lines.
* Improves hyperpigmentation by promoting cell turnover, revealing a brighter, more even complexion.
For long-lasting, transformative results, consider committing to an intense microneedling course: six treatments over 18 weeks. This targeted approach helps rejuvenate your skin and get it back on track, giving you visible improvements in tone, texture, and firmness.
Post-course, you can maintain your results with treatments every 6–10 weeks. Want to level up your appointments? Add a dermaplaning session to tackle peach fuzz and those pesky chin hairs for an extra-smooth finish.
With the right treatment plan, at home skincare routine you can face the world with glowing confidence. You deserve to feel radiant, empowered, and proud of the skin you’re in. So, dive in Ladies. Tackle those skin concerns head on and book your microneedling appointment now.
Because glowing skin isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling unstoppable. And trust me, you’ve earned it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to see results and how do I maintain the results?
The timeline for seeing the benefits of microneedling can vary from person to person, and it depends on factors such as the individual's skin condition, the specific concerns being addressed, and the frequency of the treatments.
However, many people begin to notice improvements in their skin after the very first treatment as we remove the build up of dead skin sells and kickstart the collagen production. You will definitely leave your first treatment glowing!
Post-course, you can maintain your results with treatments every 6–10 weeks by alternating between microneedling and lymphatic facials for the perfect balance of trauma and nurturing the skin.
What happens during the treatment?
During a microneedling treatment, your skin will be cleansed and exfoliated and then prepped using a sterilising solution before your face and neck are worked over using a pen device containing micro sterile needles. After the treatment a cooling soothing mask is applied. The treatment takes around 45-60 minutes.
Can I have the treatment during HRT?
Yes! Microneedling is a completely safe treatment whist taking HRT and other menopause medication.
Additions to your treatment plan
Another highly effective option for treating the negative impact of the menopause on the skin are amino acid and vitamin peels.
We use the biorepeel which revitalises the skin by combining bio-stimulation including various acids, amino acids, and vitamins, to not only exfoliate the skin but also nourish it - all aimed at targeting multiple skin concerns without the harsh effects often associated with chemical peels.
These are perfect for addressing and correcting an uneven skin tone, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, which often becomes more apparent as part of the menopause.
The chemical peel process involves applying a slightly acidic solution to the skin, and removing this after a certain amount of time. The effect is that the outer layers of skin will be removed, allowing for fresh skin cells to replace the old, and leading to skin rejuvenation.
