ANTI-AGING FUNCTIONS OF BIOIDENTICAL TESTOSTERONE

Hormonal integration is an underestimated tool for anti-aging medicine to slow down and reverse age-related disorders. The production of hormones, in fact, tends to decline with age, causing dysfunctions and alterations that can lead to pathological states. Anti-aging medicine, therefore, works preventively and therapeutically to maintain the body's hormonal balance unaltered, even at an advanced age. Among the hormones that can be integrated, testosterone performs valuable functions not only for the male organism but also for the female one.

What is bioidentical testosterone

Although testosterone is the male hormone par excellence, it actually performs many fundamental functions in the female body too, although present in significantly lower quantities. Testosterone, in fact, not only works on the sexual sphere, but it also has an important role in mood regulation, muscle mass formation, bone density and anabolic processes. Its bioidentical version is created from plant sources – specifically from thistle – and, as all the bioidentical hormones, it replicates the exact chemical structure of the testosterone produced by the body, creating a more immediate interaction with the endocrine system which tends to recognize it as endogenous. Bioidentical testosterone supplementation is therefore very well tolerated by the body.

Benefits of bioidentical testosterone in slowing aging

Testosterone is a fundamental hormone for male and female organic well-being. For this reason it’s important to monitor its levels so that disorders linked to deficiency can be prevented: testosterone, in fact, tends to decrease with age or in case of incorrect habits, generating imbalances that can be translated into chronic tiredness, decreased libido, dull and inelastic skin, loss of muscle mass and bone fragility. Supplementation can help create a hormonal balance useful to slowing down the aging process. So, a targeted supplementation of bioidentical testosterone shows benefits that impact on:

- Skin health

Optimal testosterone levels can promote collagen production, keeping skin elastic and reducing the wrinkles. A more youthful and dynamic appearance is one of the main benefits of bioidentical testosterone supplementation.

- Muscle mass

Testosterone plays a key role in muscle protein synthesis. In an anti-aging vision, therefore, preserving and increasing muscle mass helps to keep the body strong and counteract the loss of muscle associated with aging. Testosterone also helps to contain the accumulation of fat, especially in the visceral area.

- Reduction of bone fragility

Testosterone is very important for bone health, as it stimulates tissue formation by facilitating the growth of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for the synthesis of bone matrix. A testosterone deficiency, therefore, can increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone fragility.

- Energy and vitality

Bioidentical testosterone supplementation is useful to increase energy and body vitality, even in older people. For this reason, testosterone is an important hormone for the general organic well-being.

Methods of administration of bioidentical testosterone

Before proceeding with a targeted bioidentical testosterone supplement, the physician will prescribe specific tests that can provide a clear picture of the patient's individual needs. Testosterone-based therapies generally involve transdermal intake of the hormone through gels, creams or patches. The use of galenic preparations is often suggested so that precise and personalized doses can be administered according to everyone's needs.

PRP and exosomes: the innovation in skin regeneration

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a blood component already known for its ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve skin quality naturally. Recently, it has been discovered that exosomes, used in combination with PRP, enhance its power. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles, are in fact able to accelerate tissue regeneration and, consequently, improve the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.

PRP and skin rejuvenation: the secret to fresh and glowing skin

Skin rejuvenation is one of the most pressing goals of aesthetic medicine. As we age, the skin tends to lose elasticity, brightness and firmness due to the physiological decline in collagen and elastin production. From this perspective, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary, safe and natural treatment to improve skin quality and reduce the signs of aging.

PRP AS A TOOL OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE: A COMPLETE INSIGHT

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is one of the most innovative and versatile therapies used in regenerative medicine because, using growth factors naturally present in our blood, can accelerate the recovery and regeneration of tissues. Thanks to its effectiveness, this therapy is widely used, for example, in dermatology, orthopedics, neurology, gynecology and dentistry.
