Every hormonal transition is different
Hot flashes, sleep, mood, skin, body shape and leg comfort can all change, but not every woman experiences the same symptoms or intensity. A useful routine should start with the needs you actually feel.
Your concern
Menopause and hormonal changes: understanding changes in the body and skin
Perimenopause and menopause can bring a wide range of changes: disrupted sleep, hot flashes, changes in body shape, drier or less firm-looking skin, circulatory discomfort or swelling sensations. This page brings together Eclipse’s most useful resources to help you understand these changes without attributing everything to hormones.
Understand
Understanding menopause without treating every change as a hormonal symptom
La ménopause correspond à la fin durable des menstruations après une période de transition appelée périménopause. Les fluctuations puis la diminution des hormones ovariennes peuvent s’accompagner de bouffées de chaleur, sueurs nocturnes, troubles du sommeil, variations de l’humeur et symptômes génito-urinaires. L’expérience reste très personnelle : certaines femmes ressentent peu de changements, tandis que d’autres voient leur qualité de vie nettement affectée.
Autour de cette période, la répartition de la masse grasse, la masse musculaire et la qualité de la peau peuvent aussi évoluer. La baisse des œstrogènes participe notamment à une diminution de l’hydratation, du collagène et de l’élasticité cutanée. Ces changements se combinent toutefois avec l’âge, l’exposition solaire, le niveau d’activité, le sommeil, le stress, l’alimentation et l’histoire individuelle. La ménopause n’explique donc pas automatiquement une prise de poids, un œdème ou une douleur nouvelle.
Une routine de bien-être peut cibler un besoin précis sans prétendre traiter la ménopause. L’activité physique, notamment le renforcement musculaire et les exercices en charge, soutient la santé globale, la masse musculaire et les os. La pressothérapie peut accompagner le confort des jambes chez certaines utilisatrices lorsqu’aucune contre-indication n’est présente. La LED Therapy peut s’intégrer à une routine consacrée à la qualité visuelle de la peau. Les bouffées de chaleur, les troubles persistants du sommeil, les saignements inhabituels, une douleur ou un gonflement inexpliqué nécessitent en revanche un échange avec un professionnel de santé.
Body changes are not solely hormonal
Lower estrogen levels can combine with age, sleep, physical activity, stress, diet or certain treatments. Weight changes, swelling or fatigue should therefore not automatically be attributed to menopause.
Eclipse technologies support wellbeing—not menopause itself
Pneumatic compression can support a feeling of lightness, while LED Therapy can be part of a skin-quality routine. Neither treats hot flashes, sleep problems or the medical consequences of menopause.

THEY SAY IT BETTER THAN WE DO.
Pneumatic compression really helps me: less discomfort, better-feeling circulation and lighter legs. It has become my evening wellbeing ritual.
After my two pregnancies, Eclipse helped me reduce the feeling of water retention and improve the appearance of my cellulite. My legs and waist feel more toned again.
Since I started using the boots and belt, I can see a real difference. My legs and waist look noticeably more defined, and my skin looks better.
