Testosterone is a chemical messenger that occurs naturally in both men and women. It helps control libido, bone mass, muscle mass, fat distribution, strength, and the production of red blood cells.
Hormone Therapy at a Glance
At Spa 29, we recognize that everyone’s body requires specialized care.
Often, as we age, our bodies slow or stop the production of vital testosterone and estrogen hormones. Men and women both produce these hormones, just in different amounts. We offer testosterone injection and hormone pellet treatments to bring balance to a body’s natural supply of hormones. These treatments help with:
-
Libido
-
Heart health
-
Muscle mass
-
Bone density
-
Memory
The Spa 29 Experience
1. Consultation
Before starting hormone therapy in Brunswick, we’ll take time to fully understand your health goals and needs. This means getting a sense of your medical history and your current concerns before suggesting treatments to address those concerns. With hormone therapy, the need for open lines of communication is critical since hormones impact so many of the body’s vital functions at once. Our experts are skilled listeners, so after you describe your symptoms in as much detail as possible, they will point you in the right direction. If we suspect you’re suffering from a hormone imbalance, we’ll schedule a blood test to double-check.
2. Diagnostic Testing
After the first consultation, we’ll conduct a blood test to assess your hormone levels. Hormone tests tell us how much testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid hormones your body is producing. When you arrive for diagnostic testing, you’ll take a seat next to one of our experts, who will then prepare a small vial and syringe. Your provider will locate a prominent vein in your arm. To make it easier to extract your blood, they wrap a tourniquet four finger-widths above the puncture site. Then, they’ll disinfect the skin just above the vein with a small amount of alcohol solution. This guarantees a sterile injection site. Once you're prepared, the provider will insert the needle into your vein, which may cause a slight pinching sensation. Afterward, the blood is transferred to small vials for testing and transportation. We’ll bandage your arm and send you on your way to enjoy the rest of your day.
3. Treatments
At Spa 29, we offer both testosterone injections and hormone pellet therapies for both men and women with hormone irregularities.
Testosterone injections may help men whose testosterone levels fall below 300 ng/dL. Benefits include an increased sex drive, improved sexual health, more energy, improved mood, and increased sperm count. These injections may not be safe for all men, so be sure to tell your provider if you have a history of high blood pressure, blood clots, liver problems, or an enlarged prostate. We also offer testosterone injections to women to improve bone density, increase sex drive, and enhance muscle mass. We tailor the frequency and dosage of testosterone injections to each patient's specific needs.
Hormone pellets inserted by our experts offer another solution for hormone imbalances. Our experts consider factors like hormone levels and BMI to determine the right dose of testosterone or estrogen for each patient. On treatment day, a provider will numb the skin and make an incision to insert the hormone pellet 5mm to 10mm under the skin. This pellet provides the patient with a constant supply of the required hormones for 3 months.
