Skincare and Hair Health
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect the health and appearance of your skin and hair. Thinning hair, increased shedding, dry skin, changes in skin texture, and accelerated signs of aging are common concerns that deserve thoughtful medical evaluation.
During this consultation, we will review your symptoms, medical history, medications, lifestyle, and any contributing hormonal or nutritional factors. When appropriate, laboratory testing may be recommended to identify underlying causes.
Your personalized treatment plan may include prescription hair loss therapies, medical-grade skincare recommendations, topical treatments such as tretinoin, nutritional guidance, and hormone optimization when clinically appropriate.
Our goal is to support healthy skin and hair through an evidence-based approach that addresses the underlying changes of midlife—not just the symptoms.

How we can help
Skin health in midlife
Perimenopause and menopause can bring noticeable changes to the skin—often seemingly overnight. Declining estrogen can contribute to dryness, changes in texture and elasticity, increased sensitivity, and the gradual loss of collagen that can make skin feel thinner or less resilient.
We take a medical approach to midlife skin health, looking beyond surface-level concerns to understand how hormonal changes, medications, lifestyle, and underlying health may be contributing to the changes you're seeing.
A thoughtful approach to changing skin
Your skin health consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your concerns, medical history, current skincare routine, medications, and goals. Together, we'll develop a personalized plan designed to support the health, function, and appearance of your skin.
Treatment recommendations may include:
- Prescription skincare, including tretinoin when appropriate
- Strategies to support skin barrier health and hydration
- Evidence-based approaches to texture, pigmentation, and signs of photoaging
- Review of medications and hormonal factors that may affect your skin
- Personalized skincare recommendations based on your skin and goals
- Hormone therapy considerations when clinically appropriate
Our approach is intentionally individualized. We don't believe every woman needs an extensive skincare regimen—or the same products. We focus on what is medically appropriate, effective, and sustainable for you.
Skin health is part of midlife health.
The goal isn't to stop aging. It's to help your skin remain healthy, resilient, and well cared for as your body changes.
More Than a Symptom
Hair Health and Skin Health in Midlife
Skin and hair changes don't happen in isolation. During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can occur alongside changes in body composition, sleep, metabolism, mood, and overall health.
Because these concerns can be interconnected, we consider the larger picture rather than treating each symptom independently.
Your care may begin with your skin or hair—but our goal is to understand the woman behind the symptom.
