As we hit our late 40s and early 50s, menopause can lead to increased skin laxity, so Dr Mehvish Khan recommends a lesser amount of Botox, strategically placed, to give good results
Aesthetic practitioner, Dr Mehvish Khan, says skin reddening along with pigmentation is a common concern women have during menopause, along with Botox not being as effective.
Skin Reddening: Causes and treatments The reduction of collagen causes vascular fragility, giving rise to broken vessels, Dr Khan says. "A decline in skin lipids promotes a compromised skin barrier and consequent skin sensitivity, redness and dryness. Inflammation within the skin is also increased causing hot and red flushes."
"LED light therapy and light peels can also help to strengthen the skin barrier. Your skin practitioner can advise the best option for you," Dr Khan says. Botox efficacy on menopausal skin Dr Khan explains that practitioners are a lot more cautious when injecting Botox in the upper face of women aged 50 onwards, who may be suffering from aging skin that has lost its laxity.
