To do this, let's start in parts, understanding each of the stages of menopause :

What is premenopause?

Premenopause is the stage leading up to menopause , which can begin between the ages of 40 and 45. During this phase, menstrual cycles are regular, but the body begins to experience changes related to maturity and aging.

Common symptoms of premenopause:

• Increased sagging: Loss of collagen that affects the firmness of the skin.

• Decreased muscle mass: Gradual reduction in strength and functionality.

What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional phase that connects the fertile period with menopause. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 and can last from 4 to 8 years. During this period, menstrual cycles become irregular and hormonal symptoms intensify.
