Anti-Aging Skin Care Treatments for Menopausal Skin
The journey through perimenopause and menopause is a transformative phase in a woman’s life that ushers in various changes, both internal and external – including many unpleasant side-effects. And – as if the hot flashes and night sweats weren’t bad enough – menopause hormonal shifts can lead to weight gain, loss of muscle, and have a significant aging effect on your skin’s appearance.
The good news is that SpaMedica in Grand Rapids offers several professional body and skin care treatments that can help you navigate menopause with grace and beauty – by eliminating unwanted fat, building muscle (without exercise!) and reversing many of the signs of aging skin for a more youthful appearance.
How Menopause Effects the Skin
Perimenopause and menopause are marked by a decline in hormone production, particularly estrogen and progesterone. These hormones play a crucial role in maintaining the youthful characteristics of your skin, including its elasticity, firmness, and hydration. As estrogen levels decrease, collagen and elastin production also dwindle.
Collagen, the structural protein that keeps skin taut and supple, becomes less abundant, leading to a loss of firmness and the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles. Elastin, responsible for skin’s ability to bounce back, also diminishes, contributing to sagging and laxity. The result is skin that wrinkles and sags, adding years to your appearance – and making you look much older on the outside than you feel on the inside!
How Menopause Causes Weight Gain
One of the most frustrating side effects of menopause is weight gain – especially in the form of “belly fat.” As estrogen levels decline, the body’s metabolic rate can slow down, leading to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen . This shift in metabolism can make it more challenging to get rid of fat in unwanted places – even with exercise and dieting.
Additionally, the decrease in estrogen during menopause also contributes to a reduction in lean muscle mass, which in turn can further affect the body’s ability to burn calories efficiently.
Professional Skin Care for Menopausal Skin
While hormonal changes are a natural part of aging, the right approach to professional skin care can make a world of difference in how your skin navigates this transition. At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, our anti-aging skin care treatments are designed to address the specific challenges that come with menopause, including: wrinkles, lines, sagging skin, and pigmentation. Our skin care professionals understand the nuances of perimenopausal and menopausal skin – and offer several tailored treatments that can help reverse signs of aging for youthful, radiant skin at any age.
Morpheus8 Radiofrequency Microneedling
Menopause can lead to the emergence of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, sun damage, and dark spots. The Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling treatment offers a versatile solution to combat these concerns. By delivering precise radiofrequency energy through micro-needles, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production and remodels the skin’s underlying structure. This results in a smoother complexion, reduced wrinkles, eliminates pigmentation, and achieves an overall more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
ThreeForMe™ Laser Treatment
The ThreeForMe™ laser treatment at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids is a remarkable option for comprehensive rejuvenation that addresses several of the skin issues of menopause. This non-invasive treatment treats three common skin concerns in one session: sun damage, facial veins, and wrinkles. By utilizing both Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser technologies, ThreeForMe™ targets pigmentation irregularities, vascular lesions, and textural imperfections. The result is clearer, more even-toned skin with diminished signs of aging.
Forma Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Sagging skin is one of the top complaints that our menopausal patients seek to remedy. Forma radiofrequency skin tightening is a powerful tool to combat the loss of skin elasticity that often accompanies menopause. This non-invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and promoting a more youthful contour.
Forma’s gentle and controlled heating mechanism encourages collagen remodeling, helping to tighten and lift sagging areas – taking years off one’s appearance!
Fat Loss & Muscle Building Treatments for Menopause
BodyFX is a non-invasive, non-surgical fat loss treatment that permanently destroys unwanted fat cells, contracts and tightens the skin, and reduces or eliminates the appearance of cellulite. BodyFX is ideal for eliminating fat that has crept up on you due to menopause – especially on the abdomen (belly), back, “love handles” (flanks), and thighs.
Evolve RF is an amazing treatment that addresses THREE of the frustrations of menopause: unwanted fat gain, loss of muscle, and loose skin. Evolve is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that permanently destroys unwanted fat cells, tightens the skin, and actually rebuilds lost muscle mass (without exercise).
