4 devices for skin care during menopause

Let's open that can of worms. Yes, friends, it needs to be done. This stage of life is meant to be experienced, not endured; and ideally, it should be done with proper care and guidance. Because it will happen to all of us, and because we love sharing good news, we're excited to announce that at SKINVITY we have four top-of-the-line devices for menopausal skincare.

Before we get into the details, here's some useful information to help you learn more about this process that will be with us for a few years. Let's become experts; it's the key to finding the best way to take care of ourselves.

Skin care during menopause: stages of menopause.

Strictly speaking, menopause refers to a woman's last menstrual period , counting a full year without menstruation from that last period. That sounds wonderful to those of us who are older and have had many periods behind us, doesn't it? But we need to be aware, because it involves significant physical and emotional changes.

Look, this shouldn't make us overreact; there are also many changes during adolescence, in early childhood, during pregnancy… The difference is that, for many years, menopause wasn't talked about; women simply shouldered all the symptoms. And that's no longer the case: we take care of ourselves, we talk about what's happening to us , and we address what bothers us. Of course.

Perimenopause or climacteric: This is the transition period that begins several years before actual menopause.

Key symptoms: During this phase, hormone levels fluctuate, which can trigger symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, insomnia, and changes in skin and mood. But the most noticeable symptom is a change in your period, becoming irregular, with excessive bleeding, or bleeding that lasts for a few or many days. The ovaries are depleting their reserves and are giving us a warning.

It's important to mention that some women, approximately 5% of the population—let's call them "the chosen ones"—experience no symptoms at all during this process. One day they have their last period, and that's it. We tell you this because we've consulted with experts and know they exist, although we don't know any of these "bionic ladies " ourselves.

Menopause: as we mentioned above, menopause is officially diagnosed when a woman has gone a full year without menstruation.

Key symptoms: At this stage, estrogen and progesterone levels are significantly lower, which can cause vaginal dryness, thinning of the skin, and loss of elasticity. Estrogen is the quintessential female hormone, the one that makes us women. And every organ in our body has an estrogen receptor, so its absence is noticeable throughout. That's why the changes are reflected in the hair, skin, and nails.

Postmenopause: After menopause, hormone levels remain stable, but at lower levels.

Key symptoms: more or less the same, generally aging is more evident, with facial and body sagging due to fat loss. Dryness of the skin and vaginal tissues is also more noticeable, and close attention must be paid to bone health, as the risk of developing diseases such as osteoporosis increases.

How Does Menopause Affect the Skin?

Let's get down to business: menopause brings with it a series of noticeable changes in the skin . The decrease in estrogen has a significant impact on the production of collagen, our beauty deity, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness. Here are some of the most common effects:

Dry skin : The skin tends to become drier, rougher, and more prone to flaking. Lack of natural moisture can cause itching and discomfort.

Wrinkles and sagging: the reduction of collagen and elastin leads to the development of wrinkles and expression lines, as well as a loss of firmness in the skin.

Spots and pigmentation changes: Dark spots, known as melasma, can appear due to hormonal changes. The skin may become more prone to hyperpigmentation.

Sensitivity: Skin may be more sensitive and reactive, making it prone to redness and rashes. Acne breakouts may also occur, as if we were teenagers again.

4 top devices for skin care during menopause.

We have selected these 4 devices from our entire technological offering, although we honestly believe that any of our online store can contribute to improving the condition of your skin in this process.

TriPollar Stop VX Gold2 : The ultimate collagen booster. What the lack of estrogen eliminates, it counteracts with the power of radiofrequency combined with microcurrents. Facial skin regains firmness and radiance, and wrinkles and expression lines are diminished. We can enjoy a healthy, healthy complexion, even during menopause.

SKINVITY TECH Silicone LED Mask: One of the most frequent skin symptoms at this stage is acne breakouts, again with hormonal causes, and blue LED treatment is fantastic because it greatly improves skin problems of bacterial origin—aka acne. Our mask also features red and infrared light, which stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Glo 910 + Fluid retention and bloating are other symptoms that this stage of life brings to most women. There's also a greater tendency to accumulate fat: cellulite increases. And that's where the Glo is unbeatable, an ideal companion during this time. We can't think of a better treatment than combining the power of its four heads to reduce cellulite, relieve muscle tension, help drain fluids, and deeply exfoliate the skin.

TriPollar Pose VX offers the same benefits as Gold2, but for the body. It helps eliminate localized fat, reduces cellulite and, especially, sagging skin, and improves circulation in the treated area. It can be combined with Glo; they make a fantastic team.
