10 October How we can help with a healthier and happier menopause.
Whilst we enter our forties and celebrate the wisdom and freedom that offers, there are also other effects that come into play which can affect how we look and feel when we look in the mirror.
The 18th October is World Menopause Day and we wanted to talk about the major changes that this stage in life can bring and the great solutions available for these which can help build your confidence and tackle the side effects caused by dropping hormone levels.
River Aesthetics offers a variety of solutions, that focus on different areas of the menopause to help support you through the impact you may feel it has on your face, body and mind.

Collagen Stimulation Treatments
The major visual side effect of the menopause is a decrease in collagen production. Collagen is responsible for the structure of your skin, giving it shape, support and tone and many women notice fine lines, wrinkles and jowls when it begins to degrade.
To combat this, we offer the Ellanse®, a dermal filler which provides immediate healthy and natural looking results, but with the addition of long-term collagen stimulation.

The Ultra Femme 360 – The ultimate vaginal rejuvenation and tightening treatment
A completely safe, non-surgical treatment, the Ultra Femme 360 is perfect for women who are ageing or post-natal, offering internal and external tightening and rejuvenation.
The treatment works using radio frequency, which increasing blood flow to the area and encouraging collagen production.

Desirial Vaginal Rejuvenation
Like many other parts of the body, labia majora (the outermost lips surrounding the vagina) lose their youthfulness and can become lax and somewhat deflated due to tissue loss. Changes in this region can be worsened following childbirth and the menopause, leading to both cosmetic and functional concerns for woman. These age-related changes contribute to the apparent dehydration, thinning and loss of elasticity that depicts aged related tissues.
Desirial is a great solution to rejuvenate the labia majora, conceal the labia minora for a more symmetrical appearance and improve dryness. It can also be placed inside the vagina to improve the hydration in the tissue and for those that require it we can enhance the G-Spot! The wrinkling and laxity can be addressed by two options-using injections of your own fat or now by using a longer lasting dermal filler called Desirial.

BHRT
Going through perimenopause and menopause can be a confusing time, with many people not realising, or understanding the symptoms which may occur and the different treatment types available to help. We’ve written an article on what the effects are and how you can identify them here.
Traditionally many women turned to HRT (Hormone replacement therapy), but there is an alternative that we offer in our clinic called BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy), which is a natural hormone therapy treatment through a combination of gels, capsules or lozenges. It is claimed that this natural alternative can be more effective at dealing with your hormone imbalances. Read more here about how this can help you and why it is a great alternative to traditional HRT.
Improving your skin!
Stress and hormone imbalances not only have an impact on your mental health, but combined with the effects on your skin, can really impact your confidence.
When we age, our oestrogen levels drop and our skin can become dry and sensitive, leading to an increase in wrinkles and signs of ageing. River Aesthetics can help to monitor your hormone levels through saliva, blood and urine testing, helping you identify and target deficiencies, to improve your skins wellbeing and improve health and wellness.
