Why Menopausal Skin Gets Thinner - And How LED Therapy Can Help
Written by an independant, certified dermatologist
If your skin feels thinner, more fragile, or just less "resilient" than it used to be, you're not imagining it. One of the most noticeable - and frustrating - changes during perimenopause and menopause is thinning skin. The culprit? A dramatic drop in collagen and elastin.
🧬 The Hormonal Link to Collagen Loss
Oestrogen plays a huge role in maintaining skin thickness, hydration, and elasticity. As it declines during menopause, collagen production slows — and research shows we lose up to 30% of our skin’s collagen in the first five years after menopause.
That means less firmness, more visible fine lines, and skin that feels papery or fragile - especially on the cheeks, neck, and around the eyes.
💡 How LED Light Therapy Steps In
Unlike topical products that stop at the surface, LED therapy works below the skin’s surface - where collagen is made.
The DermaGlow V2 LED Mask, now upgraded with 504 medical-grade LEDs, uses clinically backed wavelengths that help restore what hormones have taken away.
Here’s how:
🔴 Red Light (640nm)
Stimulates fibroblasts to boost collagen and elastin production, improving skin thickness and elasticity. Regular use can reduce the look of crepey or thinning skin.
🔴 Near-Infrared (840nm)
Penetrates deep into the skin to support circulation, helping bring nutrients to struggling skin cells - ideal for ageing skin that’s become dull or dehydrated.
🔴 Deep Near-Infrared (1072nm)
This wavelength goes even deeper. It’s shown to activate regenerative skin cells and improve structure at the dermal level - visibly firming sagging areas.
👩🔬 What Does This Mean for You?
If you’re noticing:
- Thinner or more delicate skin
- Loss of elasticity on the face or neck
- More pronounced wrinkles or sagging
LED therapy is one of the few non-invasive, clinically backed options that works with your skin’s biology - not against it.
Most customers start with 5 minutes a day under the DermaGlow V2, selecting red, near-infrared, or deep infrared modes depending on their needs. Many start noticing subtle improvements in skin tone and firmness within 2–4 weeks.
💬 Real Feedback from Our Community
"I'm 53 and just felt like my skin changed overnight - it got thinner, more sensitive, and nothing was working. I started using the DermaGlow V2 and after about a month, I saw real change. My skin feels plumper and I’m not as reactive anymore."
