Your skin doesn’t just reflect what you put on it — it reflects what’s happening inside your body. That’s why hormones play such a major role in how your skin looks, feels, and ages. At Aqua in Lansing, we help patients understand that true, lasting results come from treating both the inside and the outside.
When your hormones are in balance, your skin glows. When they’re not, you may notice breakouts, dryness, or premature aging. Let’s explore how hormones and skin health are connected — and how the right care plan can help you look and feel your best.
How Hormones Affect Your Skin
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate everything from metabolism to mood — and yes, your skin too. When estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shift (especially during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause), your skin often changes in noticeable ways.
- Estrogen: Supports collagen, elasticity, and hydration. When it drops, skin can feel thinner and drier.
- Progesterone: Influences oil production and helps maintain firmness.
- Testosterone: Affects sebum and can cause acne when out of balance.
Even subtle changes in these hormones can lead to dullness, fine lines, breakouts, or loss of elasticity.
Signs Your Skin May Be Affected by Hormones
If your skincare routine isn’t working like it used to, hormones could be the missing piece. Common signs include:
- Dry, flaky skin despite moisturizing
- New or recurring acne
- Thinning or sagging skin
- Slower healing or increased sensitivity
- Uneven tone or texture
These symptoms are your body’s way of saying something’s off internally.
How Hormone Therapy Helps
At Aqua, we offer personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for both women and men. By safely restoring balance, we help the body function the way it’s meant to — and that includes your skin.
When your hormones are optimized:
- Collagen production improves
- Skin retains more moisture
- Cell turnover increases
- Fine lines and wrinkles soften naturally
When combined with professional skin treatments like BBL, peels, or injectables, the results are even more powerful. Healthy hormones create the foundation for healthy skin.
Treating the Whole Person
Our approach at Aqua goes beyond surface care. We combine aesthetics, wellness, and hormone therapy to create results that are natural, sustainable, and uniquely yours. Every plan is guided by a medical provider with over 20 years of experience — so you can trust you’re getting care that’s safe, evidence-based, and designed for you.
Your skin is a reflection of your overall health. When you support your body from the inside, your outside starts to glow too.
