Holistic approaches to perimenopausal skin care: a case study in aesthetic and wellness integration

This case study explores a holistic approach to managing perimenopausal symptoms and aesthetic concerns for a 44-year-old woman who presented with melasma, facial volume loss and thinning hair. These changes, coupled with perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety and sleep disturbance, significantly impacted her confidence. A comprehensive treatment plan combining aesthetic treatments (dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, microneedling and polynucleotide injections) with targeted wellness interventions involving diet, exercise, and supplements successfully addressed both aesthetic concerns and overall well-being. The patient experienced improved physical appearance, symptom relief, and enhanced self-esteem. This case highlights the value of a personalised, holistic approach in perimenopausal care, integrating aesthetic medicine with lifestyle support to achieve sustainable, patient-centred outcomes.
