The Role of Hormone Therapy in Female Aesthetic Rejuvenation

J Drugs Dermatol. 2022 Sep 1;21(9):954-960. doi: 10.36849/JDD.6232.

Abstract

Hormones are intricately involved in age-related aesthetic changes. Declining levels of several hormones in the postmenopausal period are associated with unwanted changes in appearance, including weight gain, fat redistribution, aged skin, and hair thinning. Hormone therapies may prevent or reverse these changes. In this article, we explore the role of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and melatonin in female aesthetics. Based on our current understanding of the literature, dermatologists may safely and efficaciously incorporate several hormone formulations in their repertoire of treatments for female aesthetic rejuvenation.
