Dr Hazel Parkinson's Holistic Take on Menopausal Skin

How can aesthetic medicine best support women’s skin and overall health during menopause? And how does specialist knowledge in menopause transform the way we approach aesthetic treatments?In this episode of Conversations in Aesthetics, we’re joined by Dr Hazel Parkinson, an award-winning GP-turned-aesthetic practitioner with a deep passion for women’s health. Hazel’s journey has taken her from the pressures of NHS practice to creating a clinic that blends advanced aesthetic treatments with evidence-based menopause care. Her approach addresses the skin concerns so common in this life stage from dryness and loss of elasticity to changes in pigmentation and healing, while also integrating lifestyle, nutrition, muscle health, and stress management to achieve results that are both visible and lasting.We’ll explore the science behind maintaining muscle mass as we age, why it’s a cornerstone for skin quality and overall vitality, and how chronic stress silently undermines both hormonal balance and skin regeneration. Hazel will share her insights on common pitfalls in treating menopausal skin including outdated product strategies and over-treatment, and how bio-stimulators, such as polynucleotides, are changing the game for long-term collagen and tissue health.ConnectAestheticSourceLorna BowesElly MakinsonThis episode was bought to you by AestheticSource, researched, planned, and created by Elly Makinson and produced by Urban Podcasts.
