How to Treat Menopausal Skin Effectively
During menopause, hormonal changes, particularly the drop in estrogen, can lead to a variety of skin concerns: Dryness, loss of firmness, thinning, increased sensitivity, dullness, and breakouts. Skin may appear more fragile, less radiant, and feel noticeably drier or more itchy. At The Cosmetic Suite, our expert-led treatments are designed to restore hydration, stimulate collagen, and soothe hormonally affected skin, helping you maintain confidence and comfort through every stage of change.
What is the Best Treatment for Menopausal Skin?
Emfusion is our go-to treatment for restoring vitality to menopausal skin. This non-invasive, needle-free infusion facial uses advanced DYNAMiQ technology to deliver powerful, skin-rebuilding actives deep into the dermis. It hydrates, calms, and nourishes while stimulating cellular renewal, making it ideal for restoring radiance and resilience in hormonally imbalanced skin.
