After a certain age, menopause not only causes mood swings, insomnia and weight gain, but it can also have damaging effects on the skin.

Deep wrinkles, bags under the eyes and dryskin are just a fewof the problems causedby hormonal changes at this age. During menopause, hormone levels acceleratethe skin aging, causing the skin to sag. The hyaluronic acid production is also decreasing, leading to dry skin.

The wisest investment you can do for your skin is starting a skin care program while you are in your thirties.

The skin’s ability to regenerateand replace collagen decreases,as estrogen levels drop. This is the actualcause of deepwrinkles on severalareas such as the forehead, the eyes and themouth.

The first dynamic wrinkles start showing up in the early thirties, so Botulinum toxin (Botox) can already be used in order to relax them.

On the other hand, the repeated use of dermal fillerswill stimulate the collagen production, which allows you to prevent deeper wrinkles that generally show up a few years later.

So these procedures are not only about making you look younger, but also about avoiding or delaying surgery.
