Restoring Balance: Menopausal Skin & The Power of Professional Care in Cheshire

Menopause is a natural transition, but the changes it brings to your skin can feel anything but. If you’ve noticed new dryness, flushing, sensitivity, fine lines, or even unexpected breakouts, you’re not alone. At Novum Skin & Wellness in Kingsley, Frodsham, we specialise in supportive, professional facials and treatment plans that help your skin adapt, strengthen and glow again. Our approach blends experienced hands, evidence-led techniques, and the Medik8 philosophy to deliver calm, comfort and visible results.

You’ll find warm, expert care in clinic and simple, sustainable routines at home, so your skin feels like you again.

What Really Happens To Skin During Menopause

As oestrogen naturally declines, the skin’s support systems shift. You may notice:

• Less firmness & elasticity as collagen and elastin decrease

• Increased dryness and rough or tight-feeling skin

• Heightened sensitivity or redness as the skin barrier becomes more reactive

• Dullness and a loss of radiance

• Oil imbalance & congestion, sometimes leading to adult breakouts

These changes are completely normal, and highly treatable with the right professional guidance. Our role is to help your skin re-learn balance: reinforcing the barrier, restoring moisture, encouraging renewal, and calming inflammation.

Why Professional Facials Make a Bigger Difference

Homecare matters, but professional treatments let us work deeper and more precisely:

• Rebuild the barrier with ceramide-rich, hydrating protocols

• Encourage firmness via collagen-supporting techniques and actives

• Soothe sensitivity with gentle touch, cooling therapies and targeted formulations

• Clarify without stripping when congestion and breakouts appear

• Reignite radiance by refining texture and evening tone

Every journey starts with a detailed consultation and skin analysis. From there, we craft a bespoke plan that adapts with you through peri-menopause and beyond. Book you consultation now let us help you through these changes and restore your confidence.

• Rejuvapen NXT Microneedling – Advanced Regeneration for Menopausal Skin
  For clients seeking deeper rejuvenation, our Rejuvapen NXT Microneedling treatment offers a powerful way to stimulate collagen and elastin production from within. This advanced technique uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural repair response that smooths fine lines, improves firmness, and refines texture. Ideal for menopausal or mature skin, microneedling helps to restore density and resilience, reducing visible signs of ageing while maintaining skin integrity. When combined with Medik8’s calming, restorative serums, the result is stronger, smoother, and more radiant skin, perfectly balanced between renewal and comfort.

• LED Light Therapy (as part of selected facials)
  Soothing and supportive for redness, sensitivity and healing, often used to enhance outcomes following clinical facials.

• Intelligent Homecare (Medik8 CSA)
  We optimise your daily routine using the tried-and-true CSA philosophy: Vitamin C + Sunscreen by day, Vitamin A by night, with hydrating and barrier-strengthening layers tailored to your skin.

The Medik8 Philosophy: Gentle, Effective, Proven

Medik8 is renowned for visible results with skin-kind formulations, ideal during menopause when the barrier needs extra care.

• Vitamin C (AM): Brightens dullness and supports collagen for improved firmness.

• Broad-Spectrum SPF (AM): Protects the barrier and prevents UV-triggered sensitivity and pigmentation.

• Vitamin A / Retinal (PM): Encourages cell renewal, smooths texture, and supports long-term skin resilience.

We’ll select textures and strengths that respect your skin’s tolerance, no stinging, no stripping, just steady progress.

Your Skin, Your Concerns: How We Personalise Care

Dryness, Tightness & Dehydration
Menopausal skin often struggles to hold water. We focus on multi-weight hyaluronic, ceramides, and lipid-rich masks to flood the skin with moisture and rebuild the barrier. Expect plumper, bouncier, more comfortable skin — without heaviness.

In clinic: Hydrating Medik8 facials, soothing massage, LED for barrier support.
At home: Hyaluronic layering, ceramide night care, daily SPF.

Sensitivity, Redness & Flushing
When the barrier is fragile, less is more. We choose cooling, fragrance-light, and pH-respectful protocols with calming peptides and niacinamide to reduce reactivity.

In clinic: Barrier-repair facials, gentle extractions (if needed), LED for redness.
At home: Minimalist routines, steady niacinamide, avoid harsh scrubs/acids.

Loss of Firmness & Fine Lines
Declining collagen shows up as softening contours and lines. We combine CACI Synergy for lift and tone with peptide-rich treatments to visibly firm and smooth.

In clinic: CACI Synergy courses for cumulative lift, peptide-focused facials.
At home: Vitamin C AM, retinal PM, peptide serums, diligent SPF.
Explore lifting options: CACI Synergy

Congestion & Adult Breakouts
Yes, breakouts can appear (or reappear) during menopause. We treat them gently with skin-barrier respect: balancing oil flow, refining pores and minimising residual marks without over-drying.

In clinic: Clarifying yet soothing protocols; careful manual work to prevent scarring.
At home: Barrier-friendly exfoliation, non-stripping cleansers, spot support as needed.

Lifestyle Tips That Really Help (And Are Easy To Keep Up)

• Moisture in layers: Light hydrators first, richer creams last, and seal with SPF by day.

• Keep it simple: Fewer, kinder steps beat a cupboard full of conflict.

• Be consistent: Skin loves rhythm. Stick with your routine for 6–12 weeks to see compounding results.

• SPF every day: Even in Cheshire’s cloud, UV is sneaky and accelerates sensitivity and lines.

• Hands-off help: Avoid picking at blemishes; we’ll extract safely if needed during treatments.

• Seasonal tweaks: We’ll adjust textures and actives across spring/winter so skin stays comfy and bright.
