Should you Worry About your Hormones? (Part 2 Hormone Series)

What do you do to keep your body in optimum shape?



Do you work out? Try to eat well? Get an occasional treatment to keep your skin glowing, or your body looking the best it can?

If you are on this list, chances are that you try your hardest to stay healthy and fit….

….Except in one area, which is all too often overlooked.


    Our hormones.

In popular culture, people like to use it like it's a joke -

ā€œStop being so hormonalā€¦ā€

ā€œMy hormones have gone haywire….ā€

Hormones are trotted out as an excuse every time someone is a little moody and have come to be seen as something negative.

But there is an unfortunate truth about hormones.

As we grow older, large parts of the population – both women and men – suffer from hormone imbalances which can wreak havoc with our sleep patterns, libido, weight, memory, skin, strength, energy and yes, moods as well.




The tricky part is that a hormone imbalance tends to develop slowly, without us even realizing. You may have the beginnings of an imbalance without seeing symptoms yet.

And often doctors fail to locate hormones as the cause.



Yet even one of those symptoms can make day-to-day life very difficult, leaving you feeling exhausted, depressed, and uncomfortable in your own body. They can damage your relationships and affect your confidence.



Worst of all, when you don’t know what’s wrong with you, it can be incredibly isolating and frustrating.

So what do you do?

First of all, it’s vital that you keep track of how balanced your hormones are – even if you are not showing any symptoms. Just as in any other area, pre-emption here is key to maintaining your good health over the long-term.

You can use bood, saliva or urine to measure specific hormone levels. This can give us a complete and very accurate map of your hormones.

Secondly, when you do discover that your hormones are out of whack, treat them.

The best is to use bio-identical hormones. The clue’s in the name: These are identical to the hormones your body makes, but are extracted from plants, usually yams and soya, in a laboratory.

They are taken either as a cream or as a troche placed under the tongue; a few can be taken by mouth.

For some, this will prevent some of the most difficult physical, mental and emotional symptoms of ageing from emerging. For others, it will restore a quality of life they may not have experienced for several years...




Ā·        Giving you back your energy so that you can keep up with your children and younger colleagues

 

Ā·        Improving your memory, so that you can concentrate better

Ā·        Boosting your libido so that you can get your sex life back

Ā·        Plumping out your skin so that you look younger

 

Ā·        And minimizing the effects of the menopause, including hot flushes, anxiety and depression – symptoms which can affect ageing men as well.


Hormones are a serious business. Let’s get them in check.

Laser Vagina Rejuvenation

Our V2LR laser handpiece is finally here. Had a revision session with Prof Zerbinatti in the clinic on 3rd Jan. Imagine, for those of us who wish to "rejuvenate" ourselves can do so now with ease and painlessly. Just make an appointment with the clinic, come in 30min earlier so a topical numbing cream can be applied, and have the procedure conducted and completed in 1/2 hr,tops. What will you get ? Well, internally the lasering will "puff"up the mucosa of the vaginal wall by collagen remodeling, as well as improve sensations. Externally the procedure can lighten the skin color, increase sensitivity as well tighten surrounding area. ALl these in just 3 sessions! Prof Zerbinatti claims that in his clinic this is currently the most popular procedure among women in their 30s and 40s. I am very excited about this procedure. I know a lot of women out there do not have any problems, and therefore do not require any surgical LVR but would like to just improve. Like everyhti...

SIGNS YOU SHOULD AVOID AN INJECTOR

  Recently, I was browsing through some of my favorite Facebook groups for aesthetic providers a nd I noticed something alarming. There was a glut of posts from inexperienced injectors, asking for advice on how to get best results with dermal   fillers. They weren’t sure whether common situations were normal  and were even asking for advice on complications. For example, one injector was concerned that her patient was experiencing swelling in her lip immediately after her appointment:   She didn’t have enough experience to know whether or not something had gone wrong. Or take this injector, who wasn’t sure whether the redness in her patient was normal:   The answer is ā€œprobably yesā€, but a more experienced provider could have achieved much gentler results with a cannula and know if there's something more serious like a blood vessel compression has occured.  A lso looks like she missed the right injection point a few times, which is not gre...

How to trigger a Cascade of Healing in your skin

  Have you ever thought about how your body heals itself after a cut? It’s miraculous, really. First, your blood clotting system jumps into action, stopping your blood from ā€œleakingā€ through the wound. Over the next three days, your body destroys bacteria and removes debris from the wound site, preparing the ground for a new bed of tissue. In the third phase, your body fills the wound, creating fresh, healthy new skin. This can take anywhere up to 24 days! Finally, over several months, the new tissue gets stronger and more flexible as your body creates more collagen fibres... until the skin looks as good as new. Our bodies really are remarkable... ...But what’s even more remarkable is that scientists have found a way to use this natural process to give you a brighter, fresher, smoother complexion! Microneedling is the process of deliberately creating tiny wounds in your skin, in a safe, controlled way. This triggers the ā€œCascade of healingā€ I just described... ...
