What if the most overlooked organ in menopause is your skin?
In this episode, Bahar speaks with Dr David Kosenko, Head of Medical and Clinical Training at Dermacosmetica, President of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia, and a practising cosmetic physician with more than 30 years of clinical experience. They unpack the biological impact of oestrogen loss on the skin, why collagen declines rapidly after menopause, and how to support hormonal skin health with evidence-based care.

Dr Kosenko explains MEP technology in Emepelle, a non-hormonal innovation that activates oestrogen receptors in the skin without systemic effects. The conversation also explores regenerative aesthetics, skincare routines for perimenopause and postmenopause, and the future of hormonal skin science.
