Age Medicine Specialist

What is age medicine?

Age medicine, also known as age management, uses a variety of treatments to reduce signs and symptoms linked with aging. 

Age medicine includes testosterone or estrogen replacement therapy, weight loss, and other conservative treatments that restore your energy, muscle mass, and mood to give you a better quality of life.

What are common signs of aging?

You might be a good candidate for age medicine if you experience unpleasant signs of aging and want relief. Examples include:

Is age medicine right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for age medicine at Advanced Surgeons, bariatric specialists discuss your symptoms and medical history and complete a physical examination. They recommend you undergo blood tests to assess hormone levels, as well as your nutritional status. 

What should I expect during my treatment?

Advanced Surgeons specialists personalize hormone therapy treatments to match your needs and lifestyle. Hormone treatments are available as injections, BioTE® pellet implants, skin patches, topical gels, vaginal applications in women, pills, and more.

During bioidentical hormone pellet treatment, your provider inserts a tiny pellet just beneath your skin and closes the incision. The pellet slowly releases hormones into your body over time to keep your levels within a normal, healthy range. 

Your specialist can replace the pellets every few months or as needed to give you long-lasting anti-aging results.

Your provider might combine pellet therapy with the BioTE-backed nutraceutical line CORE+, developed to support bioidentical hormone therapy and maximize hormone health.
