• Menopause accelerates skin aging through estrogen loss, with impacts on collagen, elasticity, and hydration.
• In early menopause, skin collagen levels decrease fairly rapidly, with a collagen reduction of approximately 30% in the first five years, followed by a further decline of about 2% per year for the next 15 years.
