Menopause & the Skin
How perimenopause and menopause change the skin, and how to consult and plan for clients going through it.
About this course
A large share of aesthetic clients are perimenopausal or postmenopausal, and their skin behaves differently. This course explains the hormonal changes and their effects on collagen, hydration, barrier, pigmentation and healing, and how those changes influence consultation, treatment choice and timelines.
