Hormones for Aging Skin
Estrogen treatment in postmeno-
pausal women has been repeatedly
shown to increase collagen content,
dermal thickness and elasticity. Pa-
tient assessments at Yale University
School of Medicine concluded that
tong-term postmenopausal hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) users
have more elastic skin and less
severe wrinkling than women who
never used HRT. Estrogen appears
to aid in the prevention of skin aging
in several ways. Topical and systemic
estrogen therapy can increase the
skin collagen content and therefore
maintain skin thickness. Estrogen
maintains skin moisture. Topical es-
trogen has been found to accelerate
and improve wound healing in elderly
men and women, and HRT may play
a beneficial role in cutaneous injury
repair. Topical 2% progesterone has
also been found to increase elasticity
and firmness in the skin of peri- and
postmenopausal women. These ef-
fects in combination with good toler-
ability make progesterone a possible
treatment agent for slowing down the
aging process of female skin after
onset of the menopause. Ask our
compounding professionals about
customized skin care preparations.
