Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Dermatology
  • Women's Health and Aging

Background:

  • Aging and menopause significantly alter skin structure and function.
  • The climacteric period presents unique challenges for skin biology and appearance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the key impacts of the climacteric on skin.
  • To highlight the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in cosmetic dermatology.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review summarizing established research on skin aging during menopause.
  • Analysis of the effects of hormonal changes on epidermal and dermal properties.
  • Evaluation of HRT's efficacy in mitigating menopausal skin changes.

Main Results:

  • The climacteric leads to xerotic epidermis, thinned dermis, decreased elasticity, and impaired microcirculation.
