|January 11, 2022
Summary
Aging skin concerns like wrinkles and sagging are common. Minimally invasive treatments, including lasers and fillers, can help rejuvenate the skin and restore a youthful appearance.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine
- Gerontology
- Cosmetic Science
Background:
- Aging skin exhibits changes such as wrinkles, thinning, sagging, and decreased elasticity.
- Menopause-associated hormonal shifts can contribute to these age-related skin alterations.
- Facial hollowing is another common concern associated with the aging process.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss age-related skin concerns and their anatomical underpinnings.
- To explore the role of menopause-associated hormonal changes in skin aging.
- To review minimally invasive treatment options for aesthetic rejuvenation.
Main Methods:
- Review of scientific literature on skin aging and aesthetic treatments.
- Discussion of anatomical factors contributing to age-related skin changes.
- Analysis of evidence linking hormonal changes to skin aging.
Main Results:
- Identified common aging skin concerns including wrinkles, laxity, and facial hollowing.
- Highlighted evidence supporting the role of menopause-associated hormonal changes in skin aging.
- Detailed various minimally invasive treatment modalities.
Conclusions:
- Minimally invasive procedures effectively address common aging skin concerns.
- Combination therapies can enhance aesthetic rejuvenation outcomes.
- Understanding the anatomical basis and hormonal influences is key to effective treatment.

1.3K
Menopause, a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's fertility, typically occurs between the fifth and sixth decade of life. This phase is characterized by the exhaustion of the ovarian follicle pool, leading to less responsive ovaries despite the high levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The consequential decrease in estrogen production results in symptoms like hot flashes, heavy sweating, headaches, hair loss, muscle pains, vaginal...

01:22Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
780
The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins.
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.

01:29Bone Disorders
4.1K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
2.8K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...
