This week on Beauty & The Brain, Dr. Chris Croley and Jerry Drinkard, NP are joined by Allie Ballew, NP from Skin and Tonic Med Spa for a real conversation about “menopause face” — that moment when your skin suddenly feels drier, thinner, looser, duller, or just not like you anymore.

The team talks through why these changes happen, including collagen and elastin loss, declining estrogen, skin thinning, pigmentation, dryness, and laxity. They also share how they think about treatment planning for perimenopausal and menopausal patients, from VI Peel and Sculptra to NeoGen, lasers, PRP, hormone optimization, peptides, and at-home maintenance.

They also go beyond the face, discussing how hormonal changes can affect confidence, sleep, brain fog, sexual health, and tissue quality throughout the body.

Follow Beauty & The Brain for more conversations that make beauty, aging, wellness, and confidence easier to understand — and a lot more fun to talk about.
