HGH Anti-Aging
Hormones That Make You Look Younger
Did you know that your hormone levels are evident on your face?
It’s a little-known fact, but it’s true, and no amount of cosmetic treatments can cover up the fact that your hormone levels affect how young you look and feel.
For this reason, hormone replacement therapy is becoming a popular treatment for tackling symptoms of aging. The dry skin, sallow look, and lines on your face may be due to a dip in hormone levels – and if this is the case, the solution is to get those levels back up again.
Hormones of Youth
So, what are the key hormones involved here? Let’s take a look at which hormones can help to make you look younger:
Human Growth Hormone
The human growth hormone (HGH) is a protein produced by the pituitary gland, which stimulates cell, muscle, and bone growth. However, as we get older, the HGH production begins to decline.
We produce normal levels of the human growth hormone in our younger years, which contributes to youthful attributes such as:
- young-looking skin;
- less body fat;
- faster metabolism;
- good muscle mass;
- high energy levels;
- sharp thinking.
The HGH hormone is therefore referred to as the fountain of youth, with wide-ranging benefits that can also affect how well you sleep.
Testosterone
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for giving males their distinctly male attributes. However, men begin to experience a drop in testosterone levels as they get older. Low testosterone levels (low-T) are linked to wrinkles, muscle loss, weight gain, and thinning hair.
Testosterone therapy can combat physical, sexual, and emotional changes that come with getting older, especially for a man. It can also help you sleep better.
Estrogen
Dwindling estrogen levels is the largest contributor to dry eyes, dry skin, and fine lines around the mouth and on the forehead. Your skin also becomes thinner, because the levels of collagen and elastin also dip along with estrogen.
The hormone estrogen is responsible for making skin look younger due to the hyaluronic acid it produces. Estrogen not only affects your skin but also your muscle mass, metabolism, and energy levels.
Women have more estrogen than men do; men have more testosterone than women do. A woman’s estrogen is produced mainly by the ovaries until menopause, which is when the adrenal glands begin to manufacture most of the woman’s estrogen – albeit at lower levels than the ovaries did.
Hormone Replacement for Youth
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men (BHRT) uses hormones that are identical, on a molecular level, to the natural hormones occurring in your body.
The goal of BHRT is to supplement low hormone levels and restore the critical hormone balance in your system. By restoring hormones to appropriate levels, BHRT may help reduce many symptoms associated with aging, low testosterone, and other hormonal imbalances.
People suffering from hormone imbalance can benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. BHRT has been shown to help men regain:
- higher energy levels;
- better sex drive;
- increased muscle mass;
- restored muscle tone;
- enhanced memory;
- improved mood;
- reduced depression;
- greater stamina;
- strong immune system;
- better skin elasticity.
Hormone replacement therapy must be administered by a well-trained physician who will first evaluate your existing medical condition and run a variety of tests to determine your hormone levels.
Hormone levels should also be monitored during and after your treatment to ensure optimal health results and minimize side effects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Finding an HGH therapist might prove to be challenging, especially now that there are quite a number of them who offer similar services. However, if you want to find the best therapist, you will need to do your research by considering factors such as credibility, licensing, professionalism, and experience to mention a few.
There are various ways you can boost the levels of HGH in the body, namely HGH injections, HGH releasing peptides, and even natural ways. Some of the natural ways include exercising, getting enough sleep, reducing stress, a healthy diet, and intermittent fasting. HGH injections, on the other hand, is whereby the growth hormones are directly administered into the body and gets absorbed into the bloodstream directly. Lastly, peptide injections stimulate the pituitary glands to produce the growth hormone naturally.
When it comes to the HGH therapy treatments, it is best to first consult your doctor in order to know the exact dosage you should be taking on a daily. Remember, our bodies are different, and self-medicating yourself might lead to either an overdose or an under dose; both of which are harmful.
In healthy men, testosterone levels between 350 ng/dL and 1000 ng/dL are referred to as “normal.” Normal physiology allows the brain and the testes to work together to keep testosterone in this range. The brain produces “signal” hormones that are responsible for stimulating testosterone production. These signals are periodically released, which in turn stimulates testosterone production. When levels of testosterone are in an acceptable range, the production of the signal hormones are slowed, which in turn allows the testosterone levels to decrease.
Hypogonadism, in a male, refers to a decrease in either testosterone production, sperm production, or both. The medical professionals at Low T Center address the testosterone aspect of this condition. Decreased sperm production requires a careful, thorough evaluation by a fellowship-trained specialist.
Benefits of testosterone replacement therapy vary based upon the pre-therapy symptoms and other factors, but they can include the following: increased energy; decreased irritability and depression; improved muscle mass and strength; improved sexual desire; improved visuospatial cognitive function and verbal memory; higher motivation; decreased body fat (optimal results received through accompaniment of a diligent diet and exercise regimen); possible improvement in erectile function; thicker skin.
