What we treat
Women's skin concerns and hormonal changes
Hormones influence acne, pigmentation, dryness, sensitivity and hair loss. Changes can follow the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, the postpartum period, menopause, medicines such as hormonal contraception, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. A dermatologist can assess these factors and advise whether skin treatment alone is enough or further medical evaluation is sensible.
Common examples include adult acne along the jaw and chin, and melasma, which often appears or worsens with hormonal changes and sun exposure.
Concerns we often assess
- Hormonal acne and recurring breakouts
- Melasma and uneven pigmentation
- Hair thinning and scalp concerns
- Sensitive, dry or irritated skin , eczema and dermatitis
- Ageing : fine lines, laxity and volume loss
