Perimenopause and menopause
Skin, hair and energy changing all at once — and why.
What's going on
The hormonal shift of perimenopause reaches everywhere at once: skin dries and thins, collagen drops, hair sheds, pigmentation appears, sleep fragments, energy dips. It can feel like accelerating age. It is physiology — and much of it is addressable.
The useful first step is a proper medical conversation about what is driving what. From there: skin quality work, hair assessment, and the metabolic conversation with Dr Chaffee — sequenced sensibly, never oversold.
Why it happens
- Oestrogen decline affecting skin and hair
- Collagen loss accelerating in these years
- Sleep and energy disruption
- Metabolic change redistributing weight
What can realistically be done
Skin quality programme
Needling, regenerative treatment and medical skin care for thinning, drying skin.
Hair assessment
Menopause-related thinning is common and often improvable.
Metabolic and longevity consult
Dr Chaffee on sleep, muscle, metabolism and energy.
What can't
Hormone therapy decisions belong with your GP — conveniently, in the same building. We treat the skin and hair consequences; the hormonal conversation is a medical one, had properly.
Who to see
What a first visit involves
Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
