Menopausal Hair Removal

Why does Facial hair grow at Menopause?

• At menopause or peri-menopause estrogen hormones start to decline. The lack of estrogen within the skin produces a decrease in both thickness and suppleness of the skin. You can be left with dry dull looking skin and have increased facial hair growth.
• The most important aspect of decreased estrogen in the skin is the increased action of testosterone.
• Testosterone is a male hormone and in females it’s mainly produced by adrenal glands. Testosterone is converted to estrogen in the ovaries during the reproductive years, but as the ovaries cease to function the level of testosterone increases.
• An increase in testosterone will increase terminal hairs on the face including open pores and acne.
