What was done
This narrative review summarizes the literature regarding the roles of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and melatonin in female aesthetic changes associated with postmenopausal hormone decline, including skin aging, hair thinning, weight gain, and fat redistribution.
What was found
The abstract reports no quantitative data, effect sizes, or trial numbers. It presents the qualitative conclusion that hormone therapies may prevent or reverse age-related aesthetic changes and can be incorporated into dermatologic rejuvenation strategies.
Why it matters
It outlines how hormonal pathways are conceptualized in aesthetic dermatology for treating age-related skin and body changes in women.
Limits
As a narrative review, it lacks systematic search methodology, quantitative synthesis, and direct clinical trial data in the abstract. Safety profiles, specific dosing, contraindications, and long-term risk-benefit trade-offs are not quantified.
