Decalogue for natural beauty from age 50 (without forgetting the neck or hands)

Modern aesthetic medicine doesn't seek to change faces, but rather to sensibly and respectfully accompany the natural aging process . This decalogue outlines the fundamental principles of sensible and regenerative aesthetics, where the priority isn't to look younger at any price , but rather to maintain harmony and care for the skin with medical criteria. The key lies in discreet treatments, not forgetting areas like the neck, décolletage, or hands, trusting a professional, and, above all, cultivating emotional well-being and attitude, and not forgetting to smile.

I just participated in the Womanhood Summit , a fascinating initiative, where I spoke about how a dermatologist can help women during this period of their lives. Menopause not only marks the end of the fertile period, but also the beginning of a new relationship with our skin . Estrogen levels decrease, collagen is lost, and the skin begins to show visible changes: wrinkles, sagging, dryness, spots, and loss of volume.

The dermatologist can assist women during this period by improving their hair and nails, controlling their sweating, assessing the emotional impact that skin changes have on their quality of life, and also improving their aesthetic appearance .

This graphic summarizes the main causes of facial aging and the most effective treatments to address them. Each section of the circle represents a different factor: skin quality, expression lines, muscle atrophy , volume loss, and sagging. Each has its own approach , and only with a comprehensive approach can harmonious and natural results be achieved.

Although modern dermatology allows for cosmetic improvements in many of the changes that occur in women during menopause , it's important to maintain common sense and keep in mind that modest results are the most elegant. Therefore, I wanted to propose a list of ten tips for natural beauty after age 50:

1. Be cautious

No cosmetic treatment will exactly restore the skin or look you had 20 years ago , but it can help you feel good about yourself today.

2. Good aesthetic medicine is that which is not seen

The most effective treatments are discreet: they improve expression without altering your identity .

3. Natural is not what cannot be touched, but what cannot be noticed.

The key is not to avoid treatments, but to apply them with judgment and sensitivity .

4. Don't just treat your face

The neck, décolletage, and hands also age. Ignoring them breaks the harmony and reveals the passage of time.

5. Less fillers, more regeneration

Aesthetic medicine has evolved toward regeneration: lasers, biostimulation, collagen inducers, ultrasound. The goal is not to fill, but to reactivate the skin's own mechanisms. The Ultraclear regenerative cold laser is the latest in skin regeneration.

6. The worst wrinkles are those of the soul

Taking care of your emotional well-being is very important. Beauty is also about attitude.

7. Enjoy the journey

There comes a time in life when the most important thing is not getting older, but fulfilling dreams .

8. Trust your doctor

Fidelity is key . A professional who accompanies you with common sense throughout the aging process will make all the difference. Don't "shop" for aesthetic techniques.

9. Smile more

A smile has been proven to be more effective in creating a good first impression than any surgery or cosmetic technique.

10. And don't forget…

As Woody Allen said: “You have to save some madness for menopause .”
