Menopause causes significant skin changes, including dryness and reduced elasticity, due to estrogen deficit. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help stabilize or reverse these menopausal skin alterations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Endocrinology
  • Gerontology

Context:

  • Menopause leads to a systemic estrogen deficit, impacting various organs and functions.
  • Skin aging is accelerated by menopause, in addition to chronological aging and environmental factors.
  • The climacteric period significantly affects skin biology, appearance, and physiological functions.

Purpose:

  • To detail the multifaceted skin changes associated with menopause.
  • To explore the impact of estrogen deficit on skin structure and function.
  • To review the potential of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in managing menopausal skin alterations.

Summary:

  • Menopause-induced estrogen deficit alters skin, causing epidermal xerosis and functional changes.
  • Dermal thinning, decreased elasticity, and impaired microcirculation are key menopausal skin changes.
