Skin Climacteric Aging and Hormone Replacement Therapy

The document discussed the significant impact of menopause on women's skin, including increased dryness, reduced elasticity, and impaired microcirculation, which are compounded by chronological aging and environmental factors. These changes in the skin's biology and appearance were found to be somewhat stabilized or partially reversible with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, the effects of HRT on hair growth and sebum production were less notable. The review highlighted the importance of understanding these changes and the potential benefits of HRT in cosmetic dermatology.
