Perimenopause is a natural transition, often beginning in the early to mid-40s, where hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone—start to fluctuate. While this stage is a normal part of life, it can bring visible changes to the skin that may feel unfamiliar or frustrating. At Skin CoLAB in Ada, we specialize in supporting skin through every season of life, including the unique needs of perimenopausal skin.
Collagen & Elastin Loss: Estrogen helps maintain collagen production. As levels drop, fine lines, sagging, and loss of elasticity become more noticeable.
Thinning Skin & Dryness: Lower oil production and reduced barrier function can make skin feel thinner, more fragile, and dehydrated.
Pigment Changes: Hormonal shifts can trigger hyperpigmentation, melasma, or uneven skin tone.
Breakouts & Acne: Fluctuating progesterone and testosterone can lead to new-onset acne, even if you never had breakouts before.
Slower Cell Turnover: Skin may look dull or rough as the natural exfoliation process slows.
Understanding why these changes occur helps us target them with treatments that truly work.
Energy shifts and hair loss: Decline in energy and scalp hair are common concerns during this phase of life as well as unwanted hair growth on the chin and lower face of women,
