therapy
* This procedure is for menopause.
Hormones influence every aspect of our lives.
The essence of men and women is a direct result of their hormones.
Hormones make men, men and women, women. They are crucial to every
single function of the body. When they decline, we are faced with
making a choice of whether or not to take hormone replacement therapy.
What are bioidentical hormones and how do they work?
Bioidentical hormones are completely natural hormones that compounded
by pharmacies to have the exact same molecular structure as hormones
made by your own body. They are precise replicas of the body’s
own hormones, unlike the chemicalized synthetic patented versions.
The hormones travel through the bloodstream in a communication
network that triggers a cascade of events that are critical for
optimal functioning of our bodies.
What are the benefits?
While there are always exceptions, benefits of hormone replacement
can significantly enhance the quality of life in many ways. Mental
clarity, stamina, weight maintenance, libido, sensuality, skin
tone, wrinkle reduction, mood swings, sleep disruption, bone health
and many other functions of daily life can be potentially improved
by addressing hormonal deficiencies.
What to expect:
At Vancouver Laser and Skin Care Centre we have had the most success
with an individualized approach. We start with a consultation with
the patient, followed by a hormone panel. Based on the results,
Dr. Braun then prescribes a precise dosage of bioidentical hormones.
Each patient is monitored carefully through regular follow-up hormone
panels to ensure symptom relief and optimal levels at lowest possible
dosages. Most ageing men and women feel better on hormones and
for many of them bioidentical hormone therapy provides dramatic
relief for their symptoms with improved quality of life.
