Cosmetic procedures, unlike medical procedures, are typically “by choice.” Meaning they are desired, but optional. If a man or woman living along the Bay Area peninsula is searching for better skin and professional cosmetic options, they may seek a clinic for help.
Maybe over-the-counter specialty skincare products have become less effective over time. Or they see the need to level up their skincare due to aging. This is usually when our Foster City clinic is contacted to help review the situation and find a new approach to their skin troubles.
And when we meet a man or woman searching for answers to their skin issues, we discuss their long-term goals too. Because real solutions to skin care require a long-term, full-service approach.
As we age, our skin continues to experience changes. For post-menopausal women, skin can become dry and flakey. Firmness and elasticity lessen due to a drop in collagen production. Men and women can both become more prone to rashes and irritation. Dark spots and hyperpigmentation are more noticeable. And yes, even people over fifty experience acne breakouts due to hormone imbalances!
The Cleveland Clinic posted an article about many of these changes; https://health.clevelandclinic.org/heres-how-menopause-affects-your-skin-and-hair. We’ve found a comprehensive, full-service approach works best for our patients. That means we listen to their concerns and review their current skincare regime. We might ask about allergies or responses to certain products. Moving forward, the goal isn’t just to find one skin treatment and send someone on their way; it’s to help find the right treatments for now and the future.
Change Is Inevitable, but Rejuvenation Can Be Too
Our bodies, hair, and skin change throughout life. There’s no stopping nature, but there are ways to encourage the continuation of positive natural occurrences. Laser skin rejuvenation can stimulate collagen and rejuvenate it to produce new skin cells. Laser skin resurfacing can also help improve the skins texture and appearance as a woman takes her journey into post-menopause.

Some people suffer from consistent, life-long issues such as seborrheic dermatitis. A full-service approach at our Foster City clinic can help them, too.
