Personalised, non-injectable treatments for skin that's changing with your hormones.
Oestrogen does a lot of work for your skin. It supports collagen, keeps skin thicker and better hydrated, and helps maintain the barrier that keeps moisture in. As levels fluctuate in perimenopause and fall through menopause, many women notice changes they've never had to deal with before, even if their skin has always behaved itself.
I see this stage from both sides. I've been treating skin for 25 years, and I've been going through these changes in my own skin too.
Want to understand what's going on at each stage? I've written a full guide: What menopause does to your skin.
At SkinRenewal, I build your plan around where your skin is now, not where it used to be. I've been treating skin for 25 years, and I'm going through these changes in my own skin too, so I understand this stage from both sides.

Why it helps now: dropping oestrogen weakens the barrier, so skin loses moisture and reacts more easily.
What it does: Byonik is a cold laser timed to your pulse. The hyaluronic acid gels and antioxidants applied during treatment are absorbed at the moment your skin cells are most receptive. It strengthens the barrier, calms inflammation and redness, and restores deep hydration, with no downtime. Byonik - Pulse Triggered Laser has been recognised as menopause treatment for skin alongside Slimyonik Air Bodystlyler.
Best for: dry, fragile or newly reactive skin.

Why it helps now: collagen loss speeds up sharply in the first years after menopause, and firmness goes with it.
What it does: Sylfirm X combines microneedling with dual-wave radiofrequency, delivering heat into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate your own collagen and elastin. Over a course, skin looks firmer and lines look softer. If RF microneedling is outside your budget, classic microneedling is a very effective alternative.
Best for: loss of firmness, jowling and deeper lines.

Why it helps now: as cell activity slows with age, skin takes longer to repair and renew.
What it does: Biosomes are synthetic exosomes, tiny particles that mimic the signals your cells use to communicate. I apply them during or straight after Sylfirm X or microneedling to support repair and collagen production. Because they're lab-made, they don't rely on human donor tissue.
Best for: getting more from your microneedling results.

Why it helps now: shifting hormones can bring sore, inflamed breakouts, and a traditional acid peel tends to make them worse.
What it does: pHformula's C.R. resurfacing treatment is formulated for inflamed skin, including acne and rosacea. It clears congestion and helps regulate oil while reducing redness and supporting the barrier. It also improves dull, uneven texture.
Best for: hormonal breakouts, redness and uneven texture.

Why it helps now: hormonal change doesn't stop at your face. Many women find perimenopause brings fluid retention, bloating and heavy, tired legs.
What it does: Slimyonik combines pressure-therapy massage with oxygen-enriched air to stimulate lymphatic drainage and circulation. It's designed to ease that heavy, bloated feeling, and it's a very relaxing treatment too.
Best for: fluid retention, bloating and sluggish circulation.

Treatments work best on a healthy barrier, so I prescribe Dermaviduals homecare to keep your skin supported between visits. Its formulas mimic the skin's own lipid structure and contain no emulsifiers, fragrance or mineral oils, so they're far less likely to irritate. Where your skin needs it, I'll make up a bespoke serum just for you.
Perimenopause can begin in your late 30s or 40s, often several years before your periods stop. Skin changes are often among the first things women notice.
Yes. pHformula C.R. resurfacing is formulated for inflamed, breakout-prone skin, and Byonik calms inflammation and redness. I'll usually pair them with homecare that settles your skin without stripping it.
Not at all. Every treatment I offer is non-injectable and works with your skin's own repair processes. I've written more about this in anti-ageing treatment for people who don't want injectables.
Yes. Every plan starts with a Skin Health Consultation, where I look at your skin and talk through your routine, lifestyle and goals before recommending anything.
