Summary

Ovarian steroids impact skin, hair, and body composition. Aesthetic endocrinology uses topical sex steroids to manage skin aging and other conditions, offering localized effects with minimal systemic reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Dermatology
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Ovarian steroids influence skin, hair, body composition, and fat distribution.
  • Deficiencies or excesses in ovarian steroids can lead to gender-specific issues like obesity and cellulite.
  • Aesthetic endocrinology is emerging to address these tissue-specific effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of ovarian steroids in extragenital tissues.
  • To evaluate the potential of aesthetic endocrinology, particularly topical sex steroid application.
  • To review current data on managing skin aging, hair loss, and body composition changes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current scientific literature on ovarian steroids and their effects.
  • Analysis of topical and oral administration of sex steroids for aesthetic purposes.

  • Evaluation of treatments for skin aging, hair loss, hirsutism, acne, and body composition.

    • Main Results:

    • Estrogen therapy (oral or topical) may slow skin aging post-menopause.
    • Topical sex steroid application allows localized effects, avoiding systemic reactions.
    • Minoxidil is the confirmed treatment for female hair loss; endocrinological methods show promise for acne and body composition.

    Conclusions:

    • Estrogen therapy is a viable option to mitigate skin aging after menopause.
    • Aesthetic endocrinology offers localized treatment strategies for skin and body composition concerns.
    • Further research is needed to fully establish endocrinological treatments for various aesthetic conditions.
