THE POWER OF BIOIDENTICAL ESTROGENS IN SLOWING DOWN AGING
Among the bioidentical hormones used by antiaging medicine, estrogens are fundamental for female well-being. The use of estrogens can indeed be useful for regulating mood, fighting osteoporosis and mitigating the effects of menopause. Furthermore, the bioidentical molecules, created from natural sources, are in all respects similar to endogenous ones, making bioidentical estrogens excellently tolerated by the body.

The role of estrogens
Estrogens are a group of sex hormones primarily associated with the female body, but also present in men in smaller quantities. They are produced mostly by the ovaries in women and by the testes in men, as well as being synthesized by the adrenal glands and in adipose tissue. The estrogens we are referring to are 3 - estradiol, estriol and estrone - and their production starts at puberty and then undergoes alterations during pregnancy and menopause, when the relationship among the 3 hormones changes. Estrogens play a known fundamental role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and in the function of the female reproductive organs. However, their importance is much broader as their job affects many other organic mechanisms, influencing growth, bone health, metabolism and immune system. In their anti-aging function, estrogens have implications for the well-being of the nervous system and for strengthening memory as they modulate neurotransmitters. They also improve skin elasticity and protect the body from cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders linked to aging.
Advantages of bioidentical estrogens over chemical ones
The advantage of using bioidentical hormones instead of chemical hormones lies in their conformation, which is completely similar to ones produced by the body. In particular, the greater tolerability due to the identity of the structure has the advantage of minimizing the side effects linked to integration since the body recognizes them as its own, even more so because therapy with bioidentical hormones allows and, indeed, promotes the personalization so that the treatment is optimally tolerated. Bioidentical estrogens can be administered in different ways depending on personal needs, such as orally, transdermal (skin creams or gels), vaginally (ovules) or intravenously for complete absorption. The choice of the administration method must always be evaluated by the doctor.
Use of bioidentical estrogens
The excellent tolerability of bioidentical hormones, which replicate the structure of those naturally produced by the body, makes them an excellent compromise for dealing with imbalances generated by the aging process. The use of estrogens is especially useful during menopause to alleviate the symptoms caused by the physiological hormonal decline since they respond to a specific need that can simultaneously influence general well-being: the estrogen deficiency exposes, for example, to a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases. The use of bioidentical estrogens is also suggested in case of irregular menstrual cycle and to gain a hormonal balance useful as cardiovascular support and as protector of bone density.
Bioidentical estrogen supplementation
Before undertaking any hormone therapy, it’s essential to consult a physician who can study the patient's history and prescribe the most suitable therapeutic path. The doctor will determine doses and methods so that the treatment can be as efficient as possible.

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.
