Menopause significantly impacts skin health due to estrogen loss. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can improve skin collagen, thickness, and elasticity in postmenopausal women, though effects on other skin features require more research.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and endocrinology.
  • Skin aging and hormone interactions.

Background:

  • Menopause is associated with significant physiological changes.
  • Estrogen levels decline during menopause, affecting various bodily functions, including skin health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the medical literature on the effects of menopause and its hormonal treatment on the skin.
  • To synthesize current research on estrogen's impact on skin aging and repair.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted an extensive literature search using Medline and Pubmed.
  • Utilized keywords such as collagen, elastin, estrogen, hormone replacement therapy, skin, and aging.

Main Results:

  • Estrogen loss during menopause profoundly affects skin.

  • Estrogen therapy in postmenopausal women increases collagen, dermal thickness, and elasticity.
  • Data suggests estrogen positively influences skin water content and wound healing.

    • Conclusions:

    • Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) shows promise for improving menopausal skin changes.
    • Further research is needed to clarify discordant findings on elastin, sebum, wrinkles, and blood flow.
    • Molecular studies are essential to elucidate estrogen's cellular mechanisms in aging skin.
