Male Hormone Replacement at Ageless Medical Spa and Hair Restoration

Re-Stoke Your Fire! Hormone levels naturally drop as you age. But other physiological, environmental and lifestyle factors can contribute to their decline as well. Stress, in particular, can alter your hormonal levels and balances. Healthy male hormonal levels can often be restored and maintained through hormone replacement therapy. At Ageless Medical Spa and Hair Restoration in Charleston Male Hormone Replacement Therapy can help bring balance back to your body and re-energize your daily life.

What are hormones?

Hormones are chemicals secreted from our endocrine glands directly into our bloodstreams. They send messages to our organs and tissues to perform specific tasks in order to maintain and optimize our physical, mental and emotional functions. Men’s major endocrine glands include the testes, the pituitary, the pineal, the thymus, the thyroid, the adrenals, and the pancreas. Proper hormonal levels and balances are critically important for our developmental, metabolic, sexual, reproductive, and cognitive health. Insufficient or excessive hormone levels can damage our health and lower our physical efficiency throughout our lives. That is why we strive to provide the best Male Hormone Replacement Therapy Charleston has to offer!

What is male hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Hormone replacement therapy is a medical treatment to restore and balance hormone levels. Male hormone replacement therapy typically adjusts levels of testosterone. Hormone therapy can be a helpful treatment for men with unnaturally low testosterone levels. The goal of testosterone treatment is to keep levels within normal ranges.

What tasks does testosterone perform?

Testosterone is required for:

  • Male sexual development
  • Reproductive function
  • Maintaining bone density
  • Maintaining healthy levels of red blood cells
  • Building and maintaining muscle mass

What are the benefits of male hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Male hormone replacement therapy can often boost energy, sharpen concentration, reduce fat, slow loss of muscle mass, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce anxiety and depression, and increase sex drive. Recent medical research indicates hormone replacement therapy may in some cases also reduce men’s risks of heart disease and diabetes.

Symptoms to look for when considering hormone replacement therapy

Low T can cause or contribute to many conditions that disrupt men’s lives and can affect their productivity, relationships, and sense of worth or self-identity. When a man has low levels of testosterone, he may experience any or all of the following:

  • Depression
  • Reduced self-confidence
  • Insomnia
  • Weight gain
  • Decline in bone density and muscle mass
  • Anxiety
  • Excessive fatigue
  • Infertility
  • Declining sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Increased urination
  • Brain fog

Hormones that can be adjusted through male HRT

Testosterone - The first hormone that comes to mind for males is testosterone. Low testosterone, or “Low T,” is a lower-than-normal level of the male hormone testosterone that can affect men in a variety of ways. It can also have a number of potential causes, including:

  • Advancing Age (Most common)
  • Obesity
  • Infection
  • Testicular injury
  • Chronic disease
  • Disorders of the pituitary gland
  • Radiation or chemotherapy treatment

Advanced age is the most common reason for Low T. Most men begin to experience a decline in testosterone, even a gradual one, after age 30. Low T can sneak up on some men as they gradually decline, and then they accept their current health, performance, and stamina instead of demanding the same vitality that they had in their 20s. Get your vitality back with Male Hormone Replacement Therapy in Charleston, at Ageless Medical Spa and Hair Restoration.

How do we treat Low T?

At Ageless Medical Spa and Hair Restoration, we use testosterone replacement therapy, supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to increase testosterone levels. We customize the treatment and dose to each man’s individual needs based on lab results and symptoms. We only use bioidentical testosterone delivered via intramuscular injections, topical creams, patches, or pellets.

What other male hormone levels do we evaluate?

DHEA is a hormone secreted by nerve tissue and the adrenal glands. It is an endocrine precursor to other hormones (Testosterone, Progesterone, and Estrogen). This is one of our stress hormones and is a backup to the cortisol production in our bodies. DHEA levels fall with age but maintaining an optimal level supports the immune system and cardiovascular health and improves mood, sleep, and libido.

Pregnenolone

Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone synthesized from cholesterol and naturally found in the brain, gonads, and adrenal gland. It is the precursor to DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Pregnenolone is an imperative “brain-supporting” hormone that often decreases with age, leading to memory decline, mood changes, stress, and anxiety. Replenishing Pregnenolone levels can lead to improved stress, balanced mood, memory function, better sleep, and less anxiety.

Estrogen

Maintaining a proper ratio of Estrogen to Testosterone is essential for both desired effects of Testosterone replacement and cardiovascular health.

Human growth hormone (HGH)

In some men, supplemental HGH may increase capacity for exercise, help build bone density and muscle mass, reduce fat and improve metabolism.
