Menopausal and mature skin is a demographic that is often underserved and misunderstood in the aesthetics industry. Hormonal changes during menopause can trigger a cascade of skin concerns, which require intelligent treatments rather than aggressive “anti-ageing” promises. For Grainne, at A.G.E Skin, Health & Wellness, anti-ageing is a myth, and IPL for menopausal skin is the solution.
Milestone Spotlight: A.G.E Skin, Health & Wellness
Grainne has over 30 years of experience in the aesthetics industry, working hands-on with skin through every trend, innovation and shift she has faced. She has been with SkinBase since 2012, and as well as IPL, offers MD, Hydro, and Collagen Lift treatments in Carrickmacross, Ireland.
Grainne recently received a milestone award for 1000 IPL treatments, and so, our salon spotlight shines on her this month.
How Does IPL Rejuvenation Work?
“SkinBase IPL works by delivering controlled pulses of light that target pigment and vascular concerns while stimulating collagen and improving overall skin clarity.”
Why Does IPL Work So Well for Mature & Menopausal Skin?
“IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is not about chasing youth, it’s about restoring balance. For my clients, the benefits are both visible and confidence-boosting. What makes IPL particularly suitable for menopausal and mature skin is its versatility and gentleness. Treatments can be carefully customised, making it ideal for skin that may be thinner, more reactive or hormonally sensitive. The result is healthier skin that looks rested, clear and refreshed, never overdone.”
Benefits of IPL for Menopausal Skin
Over the last 1000 treatments, Grainne has noticed a variety of benefits of IPL for her clients, including:
- Reduction in sun damage and age-related pigmentation
- Calming of rosacea and facial redness
- Improvement in broken capillaries and red veins
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Support for adult acne and post-inflammatory redness
- Overall skin rejuvenation without downtime or harshness
Grainne Egan: IPL Milestone Therapist
As well as being recognised as an exceptional SkinBase IPL therapist, Grainne was also accredited by the All-Ireland Business Foundation as an All-Star: Lifestyle Leader in Aesthetics & Wellness, and nominated for Rising Star in Aesthetics at the Aesthetic Awards in both 2024 and 2025 by Hi Style. She puts her accolades down to her ethos: that sustainable results come from respecting the skin, not fighting it.
Thank you to SkinBase for this milestone award, I am absolutely thrilled and cannot believe I have carried out over 1000 IPL treatments!
A New Conversation Around Ageing
“At A.G.E Skin, Health & Wellness, we are changing the conversation. Instead of “anti-ageing”, we focus on longevity, skin health and confidence. Treatments like SkinBase IPL allow us to work with the skin, not against it, helping our clients look like the very best version of themselves for their age. Healthy skin is not about erasing the years. It’s about clarity, comfort, resilience and radiance. And that is something worth investing in at any stage of life.”
