The Internal Architect: How Hormonal Shifts Reshape Your Skin.

The Mirror of Internal Health

It is a common misconception that skin changes are purely the result of time. In reality, our skin is a highly sensitive organ that responds directly to our internal hormonal balance. At Skinfresh, we specialise in identifying these "internal messages" so we can provide more than just a temporary fix.

The Role of Key Hormones

1. Estrogen & Collagen:

   Estrogen is essential for collagen production. When levels drop, skin loses its "bounce" and becomes thinner. This is often when patients notice a sudden onset of fine lines.

2. Thyroid & Vitality:

   Your thyroid regulates cell turnover. When it’s sluggish, the skin can appear dull, pale, or "doughy."

3. Progesterone & DHEA:

   These are vital for maintaining skin moisture. A decline here is often the root cause of skin that feels suddenly, inexplicably dry.

A Holistic Approach to Enhancement

Treating the skin without acknowledging the hormones is like painting a house with a shaky foundation.

By understanding your "Internal Architect," we can use tools like Dysport to soften lines or Dermal Fillers to restore the volume that hormonal shifts have taken away—all while ensuring the result looks natural and rested.
