As we age, levels of important hormones in the body start to decrease for both men and women. These changing hormone levels contribute to many of the symptoms of aging, including fatigue, loss of libido, and changes to metabolism. Hormone optimization restores these hormones to their normal, healthy levels. This helps protect the body from aging due to hormone loss, and it can also ease the symptoms of many age-related problems.
Hormone optimization offers improved vitality and over time can leave you feeling healthy and vibrant. Starting hormone replacement early can help to head off many signs of aging.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores or maintains the body’s normal, youthful levels of key hormones. Declining hormone levels can cause symptoms of aging or loss of vitality.
Both men and women experience decreases in hormone levels beginning as early as their 30’s. With hormone optimization, people can keep their hormones at ideal levels for health, energy, and youthfulness. At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery in New Jersey, we offer multiple types of hormone optimization, including:
Female Hormone Optimization
Important female hormones include estrogen and progesterone. Most women know about menopause, but perimenopause can begin much earlier. Maintaining these hormones at optimal levels helps slow the aging process.
Male Hormone Optimization
Men experience a decrease in testosterone beginning in their 30’s. This can cause symptoms from fatigue to erectile dysfunction. Maintaining testosterone at healthy, youthful levels helps avoid these problems.
Other Hormones
Thyroid hormones can change with age, leading to symptoms like sluggishness and low metabolism. Optimizing levels of thyroid hormone helps prevent this decline. Other hormones, including human growth hormone, can be used to help achieve a healthy, vibrant body and mind.
You may be a good candidate for HRT if any of the following applies:
Dr. Coville will help you determine if HRT is right for you during your consultation at our office in Linwood or Toms River, NJ.
Hormone Replacement Therapy works by giving doses of hormones, either as pills or injections, to replace or optimize the natural hormones your body already makes. These hormones work the same way in your body as the ones you make yourself.
Hormones send signals to many different parts of the body. Optimizing the levels of hormones with HRT means your body has the correct amount of each hormone to promote youth and vitality in all the tissues and organs.
When you undergo Hormone Replacement Therapy with us in Atlantic County, Dr. Coville will provide you with aftercare advice, and it is vital to follow this. The good news is that HRT is a solution to an imbalance that restores or optimizes your hormone levels. There is no recovery period associated with HRT.
Results with HRT depend on the patient and the hormone treatments being used. However, after a few weeks patients should begin to feel relief from hormone-related fatigue and other signs of aging. With continued use, aging related to hormone decrease may be slowed.
