Hormonal Therapies in Cosmetic Dermatology: Mechanisms, Clinical Applications, and Future Perspectives

Hormonal therapies in cosmetic dermatology are used to address skin concerns by modulating hormone receptors, influencing collagen synthesis, sebum production, and pigmentation. Estrogens, androgens, and other hormones play roles in conditions like androgenetic alopecia, acne, and postmenopausal skin changes. Systemic and topical treatments, such as hormone replacement therapy and antiandrogens, are employed, with attention to safety and individualized risk assessment. Emerging technologies and personalized approaches offer promising future directions, though further research is needed to ensure long-term safety and efficacy.
