An anti-aging treatment in McKinney, TX, is one that stimulates the body’s processes to slow down or even reverse the effects of aging. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for example, can rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein that gives skin its elasticity and prevents wrinkles and fine lines.
What Does an Anti-Aging Treatment in McKinney, TX, Involve?
Anti-aging treatments include sermorelin therapy, laser skin tightening, PRP facial and BioTE. The last is a pellet containing bioidentical hormones like estrogen or testosterone. The doctor will insert the pellet under the patient’s skin, and the pellet will release the hormones at an even pace over the next three or four months. The patient will thus need to have the pellet replaced three or four times a year.
Before starting the therapy, the doctor will request a series of laboratory tests to determine the needed dosage. They will then have the pellets custom-made to fit the patient’s needs. BioTE will restore the patient’s hormone levels to their original youthful state and thus improve the patient’s metabolism and mental clarity while reducing their risk of developing an age-related disease like osteoporosis.
Sermorelin acetate is a prescription drug that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce human growth hormone (HGH). It thus provides the benefits of HGH without the side effects. HGH, in turn, stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), that improves cellular growth and metabolism. Sermorelin thus produces the following benefits:
• Increased muscle mass
• Reduced fat
• Increases stamina, strength, and energy
• Boosts the immune system
• Reduces joint pain
• Improves sleep
Sermorelin is usually administered by injection.
Laser skin tightening is a non-invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin. The heat from the laser both strengthens the existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen fibers. The new collagen will tighten the skin and reduce both wrinkles and jowls.
