How Oestrogen Decline Affects Collagen Production and the Shape of Your Face

As we age, we start to notice subtle changes in our appearance, especially in the skin. One of the most common changes is the shifting and softening of facial contours. While we often associate these changes with the natural ageing process, a significant factor is the decline of oestrogen in our bodies. This hormonal shift plays a pivotal role in the way our skin behaves and the way our face changes shape over time.

The Link Between Oestrogen and Collagen Production

Oestrogen, the hormone responsible for many of the body’s female characteristics, has a direct impact on collagen production. Collagen is the protein that gives our skin its firmness, elasticity and youthful appearance. As we age, especially during menopause or perimenopause, oestrogen levels begin to decline, which directly affects collagen synthesis.

When collagen production decreases, our skin starts to lose its firmness and elasticity, resulting in a noticeable sagging effect, particularly around the jawline and cheeks. This is often the point where we begin to notice that our face has changed shape, and we may feel like we no longer look quite like ourselves.

How HIFU Can Help Restore Collagen and Rejuvenate Your Face

While we can’t turn back time, there are treatments that can help counteract the effects of oestrogen decline on collagen production. One such treatment is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), a non-invasive procedure that works by using focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin and SMAS layer.

At Rachel Aesthetics, our HIFU treatment is designed to target areas of the face where collagen has started to deplete, helping to firm and tighten the skin. The treatment works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen building process, which can lift and rejuvenate the skin, improving its overall tone and texture.

HIFU is an excellent option for clients who want to reduce the visible signs of ageing without going under the knife. It’s a gentle, non-surgical treatment that requires no downtime, and results can be seen over a few weeks as the body begins to rebuild then strengthen its collagen supply.
