Popular Anti-Aging Treatments & Procedures
The most popular anti-aging procedures offered at the Virtue Anti-aging Clinic include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss therapy, nutritional and metabolic counseling, PRP/Stem Cells for hair replacement, PRP/Shockwave for sexual dysfunction, botulinum neurotoxins therapy, dermal filler therapy, and microneedling therapy:
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those the human body produces. It is commonly used to alleviate perimenopause/menopause symptoms, improve energy levels, and enhance overall well-being.
Medical Weight Loss Therapy
Medical weight loss therapy is a physician-supervised program that combines medical, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions to help individuals lose weight safely. It includes personalized plans with medications, dietary guidance, physical activity, and behavioral counseling.
Nutritional & Metabolic Counseling
Nutritional and metabolic counseling involves personalized guidance on diet and metabolism to improve health and manage weight. It includes tailored advice on food choices, eating habits, and lifestyle changes to optimize metabolic function and overall well-being.
HairRestoration
Using a minimally invasive technique, without painful PRP injections and/or microneedling, by using primarily a special ultrasound for better skin penetration, the scalp area is covered with plant based stem cells with high likelihood for hair regrowth. This is an innovative and award winning 2024 treatment option.
PRP/Shockwave for Male & Female Sexual Dysfunction
PRP/Shockwave therapy for male and female sexual dysfunction uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and low-intensity shockwaves to enhance sexual function. PRP, derived from the patient's blood, and shockwave treatments stimulate blood flow, tissue repair, and nerve function, aiming to improve sexual performance and satisfaction.
Botulinum Neurotoxins (BOTOX) Therapy
Botulinum neurotoxin therapy involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles to reduce their activity. This treatment is commonly used for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing wrinkles, and for medical conditions, like muscle spasms, chronic migraines, and excessive sweating.
Dermal Filler Therapy
Dermal filler therapy involves injecting gel-like substances under the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. This non-surgical treatment is used to address wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging, providing a more youthful appearance.
Microneedling Therapy
Microneedling therapy involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process. This treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, reducing scars, and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
