Anti-aging therapy techniques have long been invented and reinvented. In the earlier times, women would apply papyrus, facials herbs and honey to their skin to keep their skin supple and young. Ancient Egyptian women would grow almonds and plant based candy-flavoring oil in their gardens, believing this would make them look younger.
Technology, however, has made it a whole lot easier today. You no longer need to grow your secret garden of herbs and spices to maintain your youthful glow. Instead, anti-aging therapy such as collagen formulations are now available in soaps, lotions, night creams, make-up, and a whole variety of products. Dermatological procedures such as botox and chemical peels can now be done in a matter of minutes, and instantly you look young again.
What we do not seem to understand is that most of these anti-aging therapy formulations and procedures are in reality, practically worthless. Chemical peeling and botox procedures only keep you looking younger for a short time. In most cases, you will need to repeat the procedure on a regular basis, otherwise you’ll end up looking twice the age you are. Supposed anti-aging collagen creams are practically useless. Applying, even the most expensive, cream will not make any difference. It might make you feel good to buy and apply the most expensive cream you can but it won’t help you look even a single year younger. Only collagen that is naturally produced by your body is effective in reducing the signs of aging.
The only true anti-aging therapy is through the use of bioidentical testosterone, progesterone and estrogen hormones.
Estrogen is the hormone that keeps your skin elastic and supple, supplementing your body with natural estrogen can delay aging. For some, it can reverse the signs of maturing skin. You need progesterone to counteract the dangers of estrogen only therapy and testosterone is vital for energy, mental alertness, and libido.
Studies have shown estrogen increases the skin’s thickness, collagen content, capillary blood flow, certain proteins and water content. In a recent study conducted at the Yale School of Medicine and published in the Journal of Fertility and Sterility, a group of women were assessed based on the severity of their wrinkles at 11 different locations on their facial skin using a new dermatologically developed scale. Researchers found that the average wrinkle scores were lower in hormone users than in non-hormone users by about 40 percent. Read the results of this research here
According to Hugh S. Taylor, M.D., associate professor in the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine, “These benefits were seen in women who had consistently used hormone therapy and had been in menopause for at least five years.”
Many dermatologists and doctors who deal with women’s maturing skin believe Hormone therapy makes wrinkles less severe and keeps the skin more elastic. Apparently, the use of bioidentical human hormones seems to improve the appearance of wrinkling skin. In addition, some studies show that bioidentical hormones, when applied in the form of a cream, can easily penetrate the skin and so have an impact on aging.
Reminder: Always use estrogen with progesterone to keep your hormones balanced.
Generic Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is the most well-known and commonly used medication for the treatment of female infertility. It is used in case of ovulation problems, such as if a woman has irregular cycles or anovulatory cycles (menstruation without ovulation). Generic clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) helps by releasing hormones necessary to induce the ovulation.
