Hormonal Skin Therapy

Meaning

Hormonal Skin Therapy is a dermatological and endocrinological approach that utilizes topical or systemic hormonal agents to treat various skin conditions, improve skin health, and mitigate the effects of hormonal aging. This therapy specifically targets the skin’s complex endocrine microenvironment, which is highly responsive to fluctuations in estrogens, androgens, and glucocorticoids. Applications range from treating acne and hirsutism with anti-androgens to using estrogen-based creams to enhance dermal collagen content and improve skin thickness and hydration in postmenopausal women. The goal is to restore the skin’s structural integrity and youthful appearance by modulating specific receptor pathways.
