When it comes to treating perimenopausal clients, you should explain the changes they can expect in their skin – and what you have to offer to help. Read on to find out more!
Treating Perimenopausal Clients
To treat perimenopausal clients successfully, there are some key hormonal changes to consider.
- A decline in estrogen affects collagen, elasticity and hydration.
- An increase in androgens affects oil production and can cause adult acne.

- Thinning of the skin
- Dryness

- Irritation & sensitivity
- Acne
Perimenopausal Skin Solutions
At SkinBase, we have lots of excellent treatment options for treating menopausal clients.
SkinBase Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a good option for treating perimenopausal clients. It is great for dull, tired skin – and it is effective at banishing blemishes. The fine jet of abrasive crystals removes the top layer of skin while the vacuum sucks up any debris. The wand action stimulates blood flow and encourages collagen production. MD can be good for problematic skin. By triggering a healing response it is effective at targeting pimples and congested skin – perfect for treating perimenopausal clients with acne. Sometimes the skin can look worse, but this is short-lived and the fresh new skin underneath comes out to glow.
SkinBase Hydro
SkinBase Hydro is a luxurious treatment that helps a range of skin types. Thanks to the tailored serums, you can choose the best one for each client. If you’re treating perimenopausal clients with dry, sensitive skin or those that are acne prone, you can choose from a range of serums to treat their concerns. By starting with a peel, the skin is ready to absorb the best serum for your client’s skin.
- The Clarifying Serum is packed with active ingredients to help unclog pores and remove excess oils.
- If they are suffering from dull and dehydrated skin, the Brightening Serum works a treat. With Kojic Acid and Niacinamide, pores tighten and skin tone appears more even.
- The Renewing Serum tackles ageing skin, fine lines and wrinkles. With moisture-boosting Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolysed Soybean, you can help clients maintain collagen levels and maximum hydration.
SkinBase Collagen Lift
A decline in estrogen levels can cause sagging in perimenopausal women. The loss of elasticity and firmness can affect confidence. Collagen is the scaffolding of the skin and is responsible for maintaining a firm lifted appearance. Collagen Lift stimulates the body’s own natural production of collagen and elastin to reverse the signs of ageing.
As a therapist, you can devise a treatment plan for your clients. The initial cleansing and exfoliating paves the way for conductive treatment gel. This makes sure there is optimal contact between the skin and the wand. By moving the wand continuously over the treatment area, radio frequency energy heats the deeper levels of the skin to stimulate the skin’s own responses. Skin feels tighter after just one treatment – so encourage perimenopausal clients to book a course.
