Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process that signals the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles and reproductive years. It is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. However, menopause can begin earlier or later due to various factors such as genetics, medical treatments, or certain health conditions.
While menopause is a normal part of ageing, the transition can bring about a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, and skin concerns, as hormonal shifts affect the body. For many women, these changes can impact their confidence and overall well-being. At PHI Clinic, we understand the unique challenges that menopause can present. Our expert team offers a range of advanced treatments to help address skin and aesthetic concerns,
The Stages of Menopause
Common symptoms of perimenopause
- The transition phase before menopause
- Hormone levels, especially estrogen and progesterone, fluctuate
- Symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep issues may begin
- Can last several years, typically starting in the mid-to-late 40s
Common symptoms of menopause
- The point in time when a woman has not had a period for 12 months
- Ovaries stop releasing eggs and produce significantly lower levels of estrogen and progesterone
- Hormonal changes can lead to physical symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness
- Changes in skin elasticity and thinning hair
- Emotional changes, such as mood swings and irritability, can also occur
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Menopause can increase the risk of long-term health conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease due to lower estrogen levels.
Common symptoms of post-menopause
- The stage after menopause, lasting for the rest of a woman's life
- Symptoms may continue or change
- Lower estrogen levels increase the risk of conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease
- A healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and check-ups can help manage symptoms and reduce health risks.
We understand that while some symptoms can be mild, others can really affect your daily life. At PHI Clinic, we’re here to help with treatments and wellness services designed to ease your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.

Here’s a list of treatments we’ve carefully put together to help you feel your best while managing menopause. Each option is designed to ease symptoms and wellbeing to support you in living well through this transition, with a focus on your unique needs and goals:
EMFACE
As we go through menopause, skin can lose some of its elasticity, making wrinkles and sagging more noticeable. EMFACE is a needle-free, non-invasive treatment that targets both the skin and underlying muscles. It lifts the cheeks, smooths wrinkles, tones the muscles, and helps tighten skin, especially around the jawline and chin. It’s a great option for those wanting to reduce the signs of ageing without needles or downtime, offering a safe and effective way to enhance your appearance.
SECRET RF
SECRET RF combines high-intensity radiofrequency with microneedling to rejuvenate the skin from within. This treatment stimulates collagen production, which naturally declines during menopause, improving skin tone, texture, and firmness while also reducing the appearance of acne scars. With minimal recovery time, it’s an ideal way to restore your skin’s youthful vibrancy while addressing the effects of hormonal changes on the skin.
PHI GLOW
For an instant, radiant boost, PHI GLOW gives your skin a glowing, luminous look with no downtime. This facial treatment includes a peel to exfoliate and brighten the skin, followed by a laser to reduce redness and stimulate collagen production. It finishes with an LED light to calm the skin and promote overall skin health. It’s the perfect choice for menopausal skin in need of a pick-me-up, for those going through hormonal changes.
Em Femme
Menopause often brings changes in vaginal health, such as vaginal dryness, laxity, and sexual dysfunction. Em Femme provides a non-invasive solution using radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production and restore firmness to vaginal tissue. This treatment improves both the appearance and function of the vaginal area, addressing concerns with comfort and intimacy, and supporting sexual health and overall well-being.
EMSCULPT
As metabolism shifts during menopause, maintaining muscle tone and reducing fat can become more challenging. EMSCULPT is a non-invasive treatment designed to tone muscles and reduce fat at the same time. It encourages muscle growth and skin tightening, helping you maintain a sculpted and firm figure, particularly in areas like the abdomen and thighs where hormonal changes often lead to fat build up.
Juliet
During menopause, many women experience concerns like vaginal atrophy, mild stress incontinence, and a loss of elasticity. The Juliet laser treatment provides a hormone-free solution that helps restore the natural health of vaginal tissue. It improves elasticity, tones muscles, and revitalises the mucosa, addressing both aesthetic and functional concerns. This treatment offers relief from menopause symptoms without relying on hormonal therapy.
Hair Loss Journey
Hair thinning or loss is a common issue during menopause. Our hair loss treatment combines microneedling with CALECIM’s natural serum to boost hair growth. This serum helps awaken dormant follicles and restore a healthy hair cycle, leaving you with thicker, stronger hair. It’s a great way to manage one of the more noticeable effects of hormonal changes.
Dimagra
Weight management can be challenging during menopause due to changes in metabolism. Dimagra is a targeted program designed to reduce stubborn fat around the waist, hips, and thighs while helping eliminate toxins. It also boosts energy, reduces hunger, and improves sleep quality—important factors in supporting overall wellness and optimal health during menopause.
These treatments are designed to enhance your quality of life and help you navigate menopause with confidence. At PHI Clinic, you’ll be looked after by a team of specialists who focus on menopause management. From consultations to treatments, we work together to provide the best care for you.
