Anti-Aging

We can help you look and feel young, well rested, and vibrant.

If you are are wanting to feel and look a younger, we have options for you.  If you would like to quickly and effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crows feet, frown lines, and more, we can help.  If your changing hormone levels are causing hot flashes, night sweats, emotional ups and downs, insomnia, and other symptoms that sap your of your normal capacity for life, we know what to do.  If you find yourself wondering who the old person in the mirror is looking back at you, or you don’t like the way you feel, you’re in the right place.

Why you feel the way you do.

Hormones change as we age, and they do so much sooner than when periods actually cease (menopause is technically when you’ve not had a cycle in 1 year). There are a couple phases to menopause. The first stage is when Progesterone drops. When this happens your cycles are irregular and you feel like you have PMS all the time. You are irritable, anxious, and don’t sleep well. 

Then comes estrogen’s last hurrah, which is a spike in estrogen levels that when contrasted to the lower progesterone has you crying at TV commercials, gives you brain fog, hair loss, memory problems, sore breasts, and memory problems. Then estrogen drops off. The hot flashes and night sweats follow, atrophy or thinning of the vaginal tissues, and bone mineral density can decrease.

What you can do about it.

In addition to the natural and non-pharmaceutical options we use to help with the transition, we are also authorized to prescribe bio-identical hormone replacement.  A discussion about if and how these may help you is most appropriately done within the context of a consultation with the Doctor.

Can you make my Frown Lines, and Crow’s Feet disappear?

Dr. Bentham has been certified in the use of Neuromodulators like Botox™ and Xeomin™ for cosmetic purposes.  These time tested treatments use purified, natural proteins that relax the wrinkle causing muscles in the face to create a smoothed and improved appearance. These proteins, derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, work by temporarily blocking the message from the nerve to the muscle. These are administered via a few tiny injections into the muscles of the face to block the nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions. All benefits and risks of these specific neuromodulators can be discussed in a free 15 minute consultation.  To learn more, Click here: Botulinum Toxins (Botox™) for Facial Rejuvenation
