SUPPORTING YOU THROUGH CHANGE AT HALO AESTHETICS


October is Menopause Awareness Month - a time to talk openly, honestly, and compassionately about one of the biggest transitions in a woman’s life. At Halo Aesthetics, we understand that menopause isn’t just a biological milestone, it’s a whole-body experience that can affect how you feel inside and out. Many of our clients come to us during this time looking not only for visible skin improvements but for a sense of confidence and self worth.



UNDERSTANDING MENOPAUSE


Menopause marks the natural end of your reproductive years, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. It’s diagnosed after 12 months without a menstrual period and is caused by a decline in oestrogen and progesterone levels (hormones that have wide-ranging effects on the body).

While this is a completely natural process, the symptoms can be anything but simple. Common signs include hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, reduced energy, joint pains, insomnia and changes in body shape. The skin, hair and nails are often affected too, leaving many women feeling like they’ve lost their glow.



HOW MENOPAUSE AFFECTS THE SKIN

Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining collagen levels, skin elasticity and hydration. When levels drop, skin can become thinner, drier and more sensitive. Fine lines may deepen, the jawline may start to lose definition, and the skin may appear saggy and dull looking. Collagen production can decrease by up to 30% in the first five years after menopause, so it’s no surprise that you notice such a change in your skin during this time.



HOW MENOPAUSE AFFECTS THE MIND AND BODY

Beyond the skin, hormonal shifts can affect energy levels, sleep quality, mood and libido. Many women describe feeling less like themselves, and that’s something we hear often in clinic ... "I just want to feel like MYSELF again" (sound familiar?). The good news is that with the right support, nutrition and treatments, it’s possible to feel revitalised, balanced, and confident again.



HOW WE CAN HELP

At Halo Aesthetics, our approach is always centred around understanding and empowering women. We take a 360° view of wellness, inside and out, to help you look and feel your best throughout every stage of life.


1. Collagen-Boosting Treatments

We offer a range of clinically proven in-clinic treatments that stimulate collagen production, improve firmness, and restore glow:


  • Profhilo and Polynucleotides to deeply hydrate, firm, lift and renew the skin from within.
  • Radiofrequency & Radiofrequency Microneedling to boost collagen, firm and smooth skin and restore radiance.
  • Exosome and Microneedling Treatment to regenerate skin at a cellular level, fight sensitivity, fade pigmentation and thicken hair.


Not sure what treatment is right for you? Just book a free consultation with one of our expert team.

2. Advanced Skincare

Our carefully selected 'clean science' skincare ranges have all of the good and none of the bad skin loving ingredients, and are clinically proven to help restore barrier function, boost hydration and luminosity, reduce inflammation and redness, promote skin renewal, even tone and texture and slow the signs of ageing. So whatever your skin type or concerns we’ll create a tailored plan for your skin’s changing needs.


If you want a skincare routine that works for YOU then book a Skin Analysis & Consultation with our highly experienced and knowledgable Aesthetic Skin Therapist Tatum.


3. Home Devices for Maintenance

Technology plays a big role in helping maintain your in-clinic results at home, and our range of Nu Skin ageLOC devices allows you to bring professional-grade treatments into your daily routine. The LumiSpa offers deep cleansing and skin renewal, while Boost delivers instant glow and hydration with its unique microcurrent technology. The Galvanic Spa helps improve product absorption, smooth fine lines and tone the skin for a firmer, more lifted look, and the WellSpa targets cellulite, fluid retention and circulation - perfect for improving skin texture and overall wellbeing during menopause. These smart devices empower you to take care of your skin and body at home, keeping results consistent between clinic visits.

4. Supplements for Inner Health


We firmly believe that healthy skin starts from within. Our Pharmanex supplements, including Collagen+, LifePak+ and JVi, help support nutrition, collagen production, hydration, and antioxidant protection at a cellular level. For menopausal women, this internal support is key to maintaining healthy, resilient skin from the inside out.


We also recommend Pharmanex R²,  a dual-action supplement that targets both day and night energy systems. By supporting cellular function, mental clarity, and stamina, R² can help combat fatigue, improve focus, and even enhance mood and libido, all of which can take a dip during menopause. R² also provides immune system and thyroid function support so it’s a favourite among our clients who want to feel energised, motivated, and more like themselves again.
