The menopause conversation has evolved significantly in recent years, moving beyond symptom management to a more holistic approach that prioritises women’s long-term health and wellbeing.
The newly released Menopause in Aesthetics Trends Report 2025 explores how the aesthetics, wellness and healthcare industries are adapting to this shift. Here’s what aesthetic practitioners need to know.
1. The growing role of aesthetic clinics in menopause care
With menopause care in the NHS still limited, more women are turning to aesthetic clinics and private practitioners for support.
Treatments such as bioidentical hormone therapy, exosome therapy for hair loss, and regenerative skincare solutions are gaining traction.
Aesthetic practitioners are uniquely positioned to offer menopause-related treatments, bridging the gap between beauty, wellness and medical care.
2. Blood testing for menopause-specific aesthetic concerns
While NICE guidelines discourage routine blood testing for diagnosing menopause, the report highlights the growing role of precision medicine in aesthetic treatments.
Blood tests are increasingly used to assess hormone levels, metabolic health and vitamin deficiencies, enabling tailored skincare, hair restoration and wellness interventions.
3. Exosomes and polynucleotides: the future of regenerative aesthetics
Traditional dermal fillers are declining in popularity, making way for regenerative treatments like exosomes and polynucleotides, which stimulate natural collagen production and tissue repair.
These innovations offer long-term improvements in skin quality, elasticity, and hydration, making them particularly beneficial for menopausal clients.
4. "Manopause" and the rise of male hormonal health treatments
The conversation around menopause is expanding to include men. Andropause, or "male menopause", is gaining awareness, with treatments focusing on testosterone optimisation, mental health support and regenerative therapies to address midlife hormonal shifts in men.
5. Impact of BBC Panorama’s "The Menopause Industry"
The report also examines the implications of the recent BBC Panorama investigation into the menopause industry, which questioned the over-commercialisation of treatments.
While raising valid concerns about regulation and misinformation, experts argue that it should not undermine the progress made in making menopause care more accessible.
6. Wearable health tech and biohacking for menopause
Tech-driven health solutions are on the rise, with glucose monitors, hormone tracking devices and personalised wellness plans becoming mainstream.
These innovations empower women to take charge of their health and make informed decisions about their skincare, diet and hormone balance.
What this means for aesthetic practitioners
With an increasing demand for menopause-focused aesthetic treatments, clinics should consider expanding their services to include regenerative therapies, hormone balancing solutions and wellness-focused skin treatments.
