Natural Hormone Replacement for Anti-Aging in Houston-The Woodlands, Texas

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.30.09 under Uncategorized

Bio-identical Hormones (BHRT) offer women an alternative to synthetic hormones for menopausal and peri-menopausal symptoms that include hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, decreased libido, and weight gain.

“Most hormone medications address estrogen and/or progestin replacement, but BHRT is different,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.Â “With BHRT, I can look at blood levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as the metabolic hormones that effect energy and weight.Â What is deficient is corrected to a more optimal level leading to significant clinical improvement.”

While BHRT may not be safer than synthetic, intuitively they may be, since the body recognizes the molecule as biologically identical to natural hormone production.

“BHRT may not be for every woman, but when conventional methods have failed, it may be a great alternative.”

Medical Management for Weight Loss in Houston-The Woodlands, Texas

Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands, Texas, now offers new weekly injections to help with weight loss:

M-I-C is a weekly injection of Choline, Methionine, Inositol, and Vitamin B12.Â Choline is an amino acid used by the liver for fat emulsification while Inositol is a powerful nutrient promoting fat metabolism.Â Methioinine acts as a catalyst for both Choline and Inositol while B12 aids the burning of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

AMP(Adenosine-Mono-Phospate) is also a weekly injection that maximizes cellular energy production for fatigue.Â It can be given with M-I-C weekly.

Also, Dr. Birken offers an offer use of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG):

HCG First published in 1954, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) as a weekly injection acts on the hypothalamus to moderate the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage and metabolic rate while mobilizing fat from storage and increasing circulating calories for utilization.

The main goal of HCG treatment is to suppress hunger while improving a sense of well-being so the patient can remain on a low caloric diet.Â HCG for weight loss is an off-label use for this medication

In 2006, researchers published data showing an increase in adiponectin (ADP), a fat cell hormone involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.

The main limitation of HCG is the need for a daily injection, although the patient can self-administer at home.Â One protocol recommends 26 daily injections for those who want to lose 15 pounds or less and 40 injections for those needing to lose more than 15 pounds.

Does laser surgery provide a benefit over the traditional surgical knife?

“Yes,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aethestics of The Woodlands, Texas.Â “Our diode laser provides precise tissue cutting with minimal blood loss, less trauma, and quicker healing over conventional methods.Â When it comes to cosmetic procedures, especially to the labia and vagina, the laser technique improves recovery and aesthetic results.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist, Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, and an associate of Dr. David Matlock’s Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America.

[ No Comments ] Posted on 05.30.09 under Uncategorized

Dr. David Matlock, a known face on Dr. 90210, pioneer of Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR) and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty (DLV), has contributed significant advances to cosmetic gynecology surgery.Â But what are the advantages of these procedures over traditional vaginal tightening and labiaplasty?

“It’s the attention to cosmetic principles, aesthetic priorities, and use of the laser that raises these procedures to the gold standard,” said Dr. Randy Birken, founder of LVR of The Woodlands, Texas and an associate of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America.

Dr. Matlock has spent years refining these techniques.Â His vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty surgeries have been taught to a few and select number of gynecologists and plastic surgeons.

“I am honored that Dr. Matlock accepted me into LVR of America and please to offer these unique surgeries to the Greater Houston area and South Texas,” Dr. Birken said.
