    TLDR Managing menopause symptoms like skin changes and hair thinning involves hormone therapy, procedures, and skincare, with emotional support being important.
    During perimenopause, women experience a range of symptoms due to hormonal changes, particularly a decline in estrogen, which affects the skin and overall quality of life. Aesthetically relevant symptoms include hot flashes, rosacea, skin dryness, sagging, increased wrinkling, dyschromia, hair thinning, and cellulite. Effective management of these symptoms involves hormone replacement therapy, minimally invasive procedures, and topical products, including new dermocosmetic regimens. Consistency in treatment is crucial for maintaining results, and healthcare providers should consider the emotional changes women undergo during this period to ensure a balanced motivation for seeking treatment.
