Aging is inevitable, but the aging process looks a little different for everyone, and it’s not something that you have to completely leave to chance. Of course, your genetics, lifestyle, and health will influence how aging affects you physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, you can also intervene with the aging process and slow down or even reverse certain signs of aging, allowing you to enjoy a higher quality of life, better health, and a more youthful appearance.
With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), you can regain a sense of control over your health and wellness, allowing you to feel more like yourself again. At Maloney Plastic Surgery, we can help you explore the potential benefits of BHRT and understand if it is the right treatment to help you age more gracefully.
How BHRT Works
As we get older, our bodies slow down hormone production, leading to hormonal imbalances and deficiencies that can cause a wide range of impactful symptoms. For women, age-related hormonal deficiencies often cause fatigue, weight gain, night sweats, low libido, insomnia, headaches, hormonal acne, weak bones, dry skin, and excessive hair growth on the face and body, among other symptoms. For men, hormonal imbalances often cause decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, thinning hair, mood swings, low energy levels, insomnia, and decreased libido/erectile dysfunction.
BHRT works by supplementing the body’s natural hormones—estrogen and progesterone for women and testosterone for men—to restore balance and alleviate unpleasant symptoms that are negatively impacting your quality of life. Hormones may be administered orally, topically, or via injections or subdermal pellets that are implanted under the skin. Specific dosages are determined with a blood test to measure current hormone levels in the body.
Slowing Down Common Signs of Aging
If you have been struggling with the aging process, you are not alone. It is incredibly common to experience changes in your appearance, energy levels, and mental clarity. BHRT can help you restore your mood, energy, and sleep quality while alleviating symptoms that are holding you back.
Going Beyond Aesthetics
When we think of aging, we often first think of aesthetic concerns: changes in body composition, wrinkles, and thinning or graying hair. However, aging has a much more profound effect on the body, including a wide range of health concerns like bone loss and cardiovascular disease. BHRT can reduce these health risks, allowing you to increase your longevity and feel stronger and more energized.
Maloney Plastic Surgery has partnered with Cosmetic Physician Partners (CPP) to provide highly customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy treatment in Tucson for men and women who want to age more gracefully. There is no exact age at which hormonal imbalances may take hold, so it is essential to listen to your body’s signals and seek treatment when you notice that you’re not quite feeling like yourself anymore.
