Beverly Hills, California, dermatologist Ronald Moy, MD, says skin and other concerns often come up when he talks with female patients in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who are preparing to have skin rejuvenation procedures. They’ll share a laundry list of typical perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, from dry skin to lack of sleep, he says.
So, for the last decade, Dr. Moy has added a bioidentical hormone treatment component to his practice. Bioidentical hormone treatment might start with the goal of tightening and thickening aging skin, but also offers a host of other benefits, including better mood, improved sleep and much more, he says.
