Could Menopause Be Messing With Your Skin & Hair?
Welcome to menopause and the years – yes, years -- of ‘no one told me it would be like this’.
It sticks around – as 3 generations confirm….
Millennials, born from 1981 to 1996 are the ‘perimenopausers’, the ones with depleted ovarian reserves, dipping estrogen levels, hot flashes, insomnia, even memory issues.
Gen X’ers, born between 1965 and 1980, are the 'menopausers’, the ones with crashed hormone levels, hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings and brain fog.
Boomers, born from 1946 to 1964, are the ‘postmenopausers’, the ones who, for better or worse, lived through the symptoms, only to have them replaced with the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis.
And 3 generations agree, their skin is not the same – it’s drier, thinner, more sensitive and wrinkled –and their hair – has less on their scalp and more on their face.
Doesn’t matter if you’re in your mid-30s or 40s or 50s, your estrogen levels are slowing and that has a direct effect on skin and hair.
Even if you’re without symptoms or lucky enough to sail through peri-or-full-menopause with few symptoms, your skin loses about 30% of its collagen during the first five years of menopause and loses about 2% of their collagen every year for the next 20 years.
Collagen starvation has ripple effects: sagging skin, permanent lines from the tip of the nose to the corners of the mouth, pouches under the eyes and bigger pores.
And, as if that weren’t enough, it starves the scalp: follicles shrink so they spend less time growing healthy strands and more time resting between regrowth phases or, worse, stop producing strands all together.
Dermatologists and skin practitioners have long recommended measures to speed up new collagen production in the skin and slow down collagen loss, before the deficit becomes significant. A practice NEOVA researchers have been forever preoccupied with, scientifically reasoning that if they could unlock ways to persuade skin cells to behave younger than their biological age, they could coax those peak-performing cells into preservationists and conservationists for the future.
That thinking is as logical as it scientifically sound as shown by a growing number of studies revealing the evidence that, as NEOVA scientists suspected, stimulation of collagen production and the inhibition of collagen degradation can be achieved with the support of clinical skincare.
The NEOVA Menoplans are science at its best, with all the peptides, antioxidants, renewing natural acids and botanicals that cells need to preserve stamina and conserve its integrity. They’re universal plans created to build the strongest skin and hair foundations possible while skin and scalp cells are still properly functioning.
The sooner the foundational process starts, the less damage there is that has to be undone and the stronger the build is –
the reasons the NEOVA Skin Menoplan harnesses the power these counteragents.
- GHK-Cu [Copper Peptide Complex] because as a naturally occurring peptide with regenerative properties, it stimulates collagen production.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids [Glycolic & Lactic] because they turn on collagen gene expression (the switch that motivates cells to make proteins.
- Beta Hydroxy Acid [Salicylic] because it strengthens antioxidant defense and reduces epidermal pigmentation.
- HPR [Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate] because it neutralizes free radical damage as a power antioxidant, speeds the rate of skin cell turnover, collagen and hyaluronic acid gene expressions.

The Tricomin Clinical Menoplan Protocol for Hair
A study of 200 women, published in 2022 by The North American Menopause Society, found that 200 out of 200 women participating had menopausal hair loss. In conclusion, because of the high prevalence, the investigators sent a call out to raise awareness, to detect the issue early and take up a preserve-and-conserve treatment.
For that, there’s Tricomin Clinical, a specific multi-care, med-endorsed haircare system with its science-bound Triamino Copper Complex [Copper Tripeptide-3] the ‘daughter’ invention of GHK-Cu:
-Wakes scalp circulation from dormancy at the cellular level. That critical action improves blood flow to existing hair follicles, promotes growth of new hair follicles and keeps follicle vitality on constant re-set.
-Reduces scalp inflammation and controls its attack on hair follicles. While under attack from the immune system, the hair follicles can’t get proper nutrition and malfunction sets in.
-Botanical Extracts provide antioxidants and natural proteins to boost scalp health and bathe hair strands in nourishment.
-Panthenol, derived from vitamin B5, is a humectant which attracts and holds water, plumping the appearance of hair strands.
-Pinanediol (Pinoxide), the breakthrough ingredient that supports natural nitric oxide production for vitalizing circulation in the scalp.
