Hormone replacement therapy is a method of treating the effects of hormone imbalances and deficiencies that can occur as we age. Hormone replacement therapy was often performed with synthetic hormones in the past, but today bio-identical hormones are available that provide increased benefits to patients.
This video features testimonials from a patient who has undergone bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and her physician. The patient describes the many benefits that she experienced using bio-identical hormones instead of synthetic ones. The different ways that hormones are developed for hormone replacement therapy are also discussed in the clip.
At Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss, in Rancho Cucamonga, we use bio-identical hormones to increase the comfort and health of our patients. To learn more, call us today at (888) 419-5304.

The hormone levels in the human body fluctuate throughout life. During menopause and andropause, the levels of estrogen in women and testosterone in men decrease significantly. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are identical to the estrogen and testosterone found in young women and men to reduce the symptoms of hormone imbalance. This therapy can provide a number of benefits for patients’ health and wellbeing.
- Prevention of Osteoporosis
After menopause, many women experience bone loss, or osteoporosis. As bone density decreases, a person’s chance of experiencing bone fractures increases. Hip fractures are particularly common among post-menopausal women and can severely decrease mobility. Treatment using bio-identical hormones can help prevent bone loss, decreasing a person’s risk of osteoporosis.
- Reduced Risk of Heart Disease
A condition that becomes more common among both men and women as they age is heart disease. One study found a 32% drop in heart attacks and cardiac-related deaths among post-menopausal women who underwent hormone replacement therapy. Testosterone replacement in older men has also been found to decrease their risk of experiencing heart conditions.
Menopause can cause several uncomfortable symptoms in women, including fatigue, trouble sleeping, and mood changes. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy that uses progesterone can help reduce these symptoms, allowing women to feel more comfortable as they age. In addition, hormone replacement therapy that utilizes bio-identical hormones can help reduce the cognitive symptoms of aging, such as memory loss and decreased mental clarity.
- Improved Treatment with Bio-Identical Hormones
Hormone replacement therapy can include treatment with synthetic hormones that are tailored to the needs of each patient. This type of therapy can actually increase patients’ risks of heart problems and certain cancers. Bio-identical hormones are actual copies of human hormones and are customized to treat each patient’s case.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can improve the health and comfort of both men and women as they age. To learn more about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, in Rancho Cucamonga, call Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss today at (888) 419-5304.

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important for your overall wellness, but it can sometimes be difficult to lose weight by yourself. Rancho Cucamonga's Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss provides a medical weight loss program to help patients lose excess weight and stay healthy. Two important components of our medical weight loss program are human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and phentermine.
HCG
During pregnancy, women’s bodies produce the hormone HCG. This hormone ensures that the fat that is stored in a woman’s body is available for use. HCG can be administered to both men and women to decrease appetite and assist in the burning of excess fat. Individuals being treated with HCG may be able to burn significantly more calories than they are consuming each day. When combined with a healthy diet and exercise regime, HCG can produce rapid weight loss results.
Phentermine
Another tool that can be used for medical weight loss is phentermine, a type of weight loss medication. This medication should only be used for a limited period of time in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet and exercise plan. Phentermine works by suppressing patients’ appetite, allowing them to focus less on fighting food cravings and more on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Another benefit of phentermine is that it increases metabolism, allowing patients to burn more calories each day.
Weight loss tools such as HCG and phentermine should no be used without guidance from a medical professional. A medical weight loss program provides patients with the appropriate tools for weight loss in a controlled environment. In addition, the support and consultation provided during medical weight loss can help keep patients on track with their diet and exercise regimes.
With the correct tools, you can reach your weight loss goals. To learn more about HCG or phentermine, call Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss today at (888) 419-5304.

Dermal fillers are a great option for those who wish to look healthier and younger without surgery. Fine lines, deep wrinkles, and sagging skin can all be reduced using dermal fillers. Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss provides several different types of dermal fillers to meet our patients’ needs.
JUVÉDERM
Hyaluronic acid is a compound that is naturally found in the body. This compound helps to maintain the volume and structure of skin, but deteriorates as we age. JUVÉDERM is a dermal filler option that contains hyaluronic acid. This type of filler is great for increasing the volume of skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Perlane
Perlane, another type of hyaluronic acid dermal filler, uses a gel formulation of hyaluronic acid that contains larger particles of hyaluronic acid than other filler options. This makes Perlane the ideal option for correcting deep wrinkles.
Restylane
Hyaluronic acid is also the primary component of Restylane. This dermal filler can add volume to different areas of the face, including the lips. Restylane can also be used to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe folds and wrinkles in the face.
RADIESSE
Your skin naturally contains collagen, a type of protein that helps maintain the volume, strength, and flexibility of skin. The collagen in our skin breaks down as we age, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. RADIESSE is a type of filler that immediately increases the volume of skin and, over time, stimulates the production of collagen. Because RADIESSE encourages the natural production of collagen in your skin, it provides long-lasting results.
At Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss in Rancho Cucamonga, we offer dermal fillers alone or as part of a Liquid Face Lift package that also includes Botox or Dysport injections. To learn more about dermal fillers or to schedule a consultation for a Liquid Face Lift, call Skin Envy Med Spa & Weight Loss today at (888) 419-5304.
