Hormonal Skin Changes Treatment in Marylebone, London
Hormonal skin changes treatment in Marylebone, London for skin that has become drier, thinner or less firm through perimenopause, menopause or other hormonal shifts. Helena, a Registered Nurse, plans skin-regenerating treatments around what your skin needs now.
Overview
Understanding hormonal skin changes
Hormonal skin changes are the shifts in texture, hydration, firmness and breakouts that follow a change in hormone levels, most commonly through perimenopause and menopause. As oestrogen falls, the skin produces less collagen and holds less water, so it can become drier, thinner and less firm over a fairly short period. NHS guidance lists dry and itchy skin among the recognised symptoms of menopause.
Other hormonal shifts leave their mark too: coming off contraception, the months after pregnancy, thyroid changes or polycystic ovary syndrome can all bring breakouts along the jaw, more oiliness, or skin that suddenly feels unfamiliar. Many people describe their usual skincare simply stopping working.
Helena looks after the skin itself. Questions about hormone replacement therapy belong with your GP or menopause clinic, and treatment here sits alongside that care. Skin-regenerating treatments such as Profhilo, polynucleotides and skin boosters restore hydration and support the skin as it repairs, sequenced as a journey over several months. Allow at least 3 months to judge them, and results vary between individuals.
Why it happens
What causes hormonal skin changes?
- Falling oestrogen through perimenopause and menopause, which reduces collagen and skin hydration
- Fluctuating hormones after pregnancy or when stopping hormonal contraception
- Androgen-driven oil production, often linked to breakouts along the jaw
- Thyroid changes affecting skin dryness and texture
- Stress hormones, which slow skin repair and can trigger flare-ups
Treatment approach
How does Helena treat hormonal skin changes in Marylebone?
Profhilo
From £400For skin that has become dry and lost its firmness. Profhilo is a high-concentration hyaluronic acid that hydrates the deeper skin and supports collagen and elastin, the two things falling oestrogen affects most. Two to three treatments 4 weeks apart, maintenance at 6 months. From £400.
See treatment detail →Polynucleotides
From £350For thinning, fragile or slow-to-repair skin, including around the eyes. Polynucleotides support the skin's own regeneration and are gentle enough for sensitive, menopausal skin. A course of 3 to 6 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart, with maintenance around every 9 months. From £350.
See treatment detail →Skin Boosters
From £300For lasting surface hydration where the skin feels tight, flaky or dull. Skin boosters place hyaluronic acid just under the surface to hold water in the skin over months. A course of 2 to 3 treatments, with maintenance every 4 to 6 months. From £300.

Common
questions
Why has my skin changed so much since perimenopause?
Oestrogen helps the skin make collagen and hold water. As levels fall through perimenopause and menopause, collagen production slows and the skin becomes drier, thinner and less firm. NHS guidance recognises dry and itchy skin as a menopause symptom. Many people notice the change over a year or two rather than gradually.
Should I talk to my GP before booking?
If you have questions about hormone replacement therapy or other menopause symptoms, your GP or a menopause clinic is the right place to start, and Helena will always suggest that. Skin treatment can sit alongside medical care. Bring a list of any medicines or hormone treatments to your consultation so your plan is safe and considered.
Can these treatments help with hormonal breakouts?
Injectable skin treatments are not designed to treat active acne, and Helena will not inject into inflamed skin. For breakouts, she may suggest a gentle chemical peel and a skincare review, or refer you to your GP if the acne is persistent. Once the skin is calm, regenerating treatments can address texture and marks.
How long do the results last?
Profhilo is usually maintained at around 6 months, skin boosters every 4 to 6 months and polynucleotides at roughly 9 months after the initial course. Because hormonal skin changes are ongoing, Helena tends to plan maintenance as part of your journey rather than a one-off. Results vary between individuals.
Will treatment make my skin look done or unnatural?
No. These are skin-quality treatments rather than volume treatments, so they change how your skin looks and feels while leaving the shape of your face alone. People tend to describe the result as looking refreshed and well rested. Helena's aim is always natural-looking, with dosing and timing bespoke to your skin.
