Your skin isn’t the same as it was before menopause. So why are you treating it like it is?

Perimenopause and menopause bring more than hormonal changes. As oestrogen levels decline, collagen production, hydration and skin barrier function can be affected, leaving skin feeling drier, more sensitive and less resilient.

And the skincare routine you’ve relied on for years? It may no longer be giving your skin what it needs.
Here’s where to start.

DAILY | Nourish & Protect
Focus on hydration, barrier support and daily SPF. Gentle cleansing, nourishing moisturisers and targeted formulations like Synergie Skin’s PressPause can help support skin experiencing hormonal changes.

WEEKLY | Replenish & Restore
Think hydration before exfoliation. Incorporate moisture-rich masks and carefully selected active ingredients to support skin renewal without overwhelming a potentially more sensitive skin barrier.

MONTHLY | Leave It to the Professionals
This October, we’re putting menopause-related skin changes in the spotlight with our exclusive Press Pause Facial.

Created for Menopause Awareness Month, this limited-edition treatment combines Synergie Skin’s PressPause formulation with gentle exfoliation, an extended face, neck and décolletage massage, and a nourishing professional Bio-Alginate Mask.

Designed to support skin experiencing dryness, dullness, sensitivity and changes in texture, it’s 60 minutes dedicated to replenishing moisture and supporting skin comfort.

October is your opportunity to Press Pause.

Appointments are available for a limited time. Book your Press Pause Facial at Cosmetic Image Clinics before our October offering ends.

Individual skin responses and treatment outcomes vary. Suitability is assessed before treatment.

Your skin can change during menopause, too.

As hormone levels shift through perimenopause and menopause, you may begin to notice changes in hydration, sensitivity, firmness, texture and overall radiance.

For Menopause Awareness Month this October, CIC has introduced the limited-edition PressPause Facial — a 60-minute restorative treatment created with these changing skin needs in mind.

The facial features Synergie Skin PressPause, a serum concentrate formulated for hormonally changing skin, alongside gentle exfoliation, an extended face, neck and décolletage massage, a professional Bio-Alginate Mask and nourishing finishing products.

The focus?

Supporting hydration, skin barrier function and comfort while giving your skin a moment to pause.

Six things we don’t do when treating ageing skin — and what we consider instead.
At Cosmetic Image Clinics, treating ageing skin isn’t about chasing every line or doing more for the sake of doing more. It starts with understanding how the skin is changing — and why.
1. We don’t focus on lines alone.
Changes in firmness, texture, tone and skin quality can all contribute to how the face ages. A line is only one part of the picture.
2. We don’t treat every area of the face the same.
The delicate eye area, cheeks, jawline and neck have different characteristics and can age differently. Treatment planning should reflect that.
3. We don’t assume mature skin needs stronger treatment.
As skin changes, so can barrier function, sensitivity and recovery. More intensive doesn’t automatically mean more appropriate.
4. We don’t default to aggressive exfoliation.
There is a difference between supporting healthy skin renewal and repeatedly stressing the skin. Sometimes the priority is strengthening, hydrating and restoring before considering more intensive treatments.
5. We don’t recommend treatment based on age alone.
Two people of the same age can have very different skin. Sun exposure, genetics, lifestyle, hormonal changes and previous treatments all influence what we see — and what we recommend.
6. We don’t rush the process.
Meaningful changes in skin quality take time, and individual responses vary. A considered treatment plan with realistic expectations matters more than promising a fast result.
Our approach is simple: assess first, understand the skin, then decide what — if anything — it needs.
If your skin doesn’t look or feel the way it used to, a professional skin assessment is a good place to start.

What actually happens to collagen after 30?
Collagen is one of the key structural proteins that helps give skin its strength, firmness and support. As we move through our 30s and beyond, collagen production gradually slows while existing collagen is also affected by natural ageing and external factors.
Over time, this can contribute to changes you may begin to notice in the mirror — less firmness and elasticity, changes in texture, and fine lines becoming more apparent.
But there’s no switch that flips on your 30th birthday.
How quickly these changes become visible varies considerably from person to person. Genetics, cumulative UV exposure, smoking, hormonal changes and other lifestyle and environmental factors can all influence the skin’s ageing process.
And importantly, a birthday isn’t a treatment indication. Understanding your skin, protecting it from UV exposure and choosing skincare or professional treatments according to its individual needs is far more useful than treating a number.
Save this as your reminder that skin ageing is a process, not a deadline — and follow Cosmetic Image Clinics for more evidence-led skin education.

Unboxing your spring skin.

As we move into the warmer months, it can be a good time to reassess what your skin needs — particularly after winter and before increased sun exposure becomes part of everyday life.

Rejuran is one of the treatment options we may discuss for patients seeking to address concerns such as skin quality, texture and hydration.

Whether it is appropriate for you depends on your skin, medical history and individual treatment goals.

At Cosmetic Image Clinics, every treatment journey begins with a consultation so we can assess your skin and discuss suitable options, expected outcomes, potential risks and alternatives.
