Expert skin & dermatological care

Hormonal changes during the reproductive years, perimenopause and at the menopause milestone have a profound effect on the skin that goes far beyond simple ageing.

At ClaraSana Women's Health, we recognise that skin concerns are not "just cosmetic" but are valid medical issues that impact your confidence and daily comfort.

By combining medicine with advanced dermatology expertise, ClaraSana provides the clinical depth needed to effectively manage skin conditions.

Visible changes. Valid concerns.

How oestrogen and collagen loss affect skin

Oestrogen, one of the core hormones that change during perimenopause, plays a vital role in maintaining skin thickness, moisture and elasticity.

As levels decline, collagen production can decrease by up to 30% in the first five years after menopause, helping explain why dry skin happens during menopause and why skin may feel thinner and less resilient.

Our care focuses on understanding these biological shifts and providing evidence-based strategies to support your skin’s structural health and long-term vitality.

The importance of skin checks

As we get older, cumulative sun exposure also becomes increasingly important — particularly in Australia, where UV exposure contributes significantly to skin cancer risk.

New, changing or unusual spots, lesions or other skin changes deserve appropriate medical assessment.

Hair and scalp health

The health of your skin is closely connected to the health of your scalp and hair follicles. Hormonal shifts that cause skin dryness can also lead to scalp sensitivity, itching or changes in hair texture and density.

As experts in both dermatology and medical hair loss, we look at these areas together as part of your overall hormonal care to ensure no symptom is overlooked.

Expert care for skin barrier health and sensitivity

A thinning skin barrier is more prone to irritation, itching and reactivity to everyday products.

We provide careful assessment of barrier fragility and sensitivity to help restore hydration and protect your skin from further discomfort.

ClaraSana is led by Dr Susana who holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dermatology awarded with distinction, ensuring your care is grounded in advanced dermatological practice.

Menopause care for intimate skin comfort

While many women notice changes in facial and body skin, hormonal decline also affects the sensitive tissues of the vulva and intimate areas. These changes require a specific clinical approach to manage dryness and tearing.

While we address general skin health on this page, ClaraSana also provides dedicated support for intimate comfort and sexual wellbeing to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in every aspect.
