What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone and estrogen they produce.
Hormones such as these are incredibly important to how many areas of your body function – such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more.
When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve these symptoms, using compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.
The Biote Method of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
The Biote Method of hormone optimization is the result of condensing over 80 years of scientific research into a program that may help with the earliest signs of aging.
The Biote Method uses pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, for hormone optimization. Your provider at Advanced Body & Laser Center inserts these tiny pellets under the skin during a simple, in-office procedure.
The pellets will then dissolve slowly over time – they only need to be re-administered approximately every 3-5 months, depending on the patient.
As the pellets dissolve, they release a steady stream of hormones into your bloodstream, and will ultimately be completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
The Importance of Hormone Balance
Most women see a significant drop in estrogen and testosterone during menopause, while many men may experience a similar phenomenon relating to testosterone, known as andropause.
Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream.
Hormones are important for regulating most major bodily processes. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body.

Esmella
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are 3 different types of urinary incontinence: Stress incontinence – exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage, like coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising. Urge incontinence – sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently. Mixed incontinence – combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
The Emsella uses electromagnetic technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control by using in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area. These contractions re-educate the muscles of incontinent patients.

CO2RE Intima
The CO2RE Intima uses advanced laser energy to treat the changes and symptoms women may experience related to vaginal wellness and/or appearance. This procedure stimulates collagen production, which works to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance. The delivery of this laser will stimulate an effective healing response, resulting in the remodeling of the tissue fibers. This restores flexibility and shape, while also enhancing moisture levels in the vaginal canal. The Intima Internal treats the vaginal canal and improves painful intercourse, dryness, and vaginal tone and support and bladder symptoms. The External treatment treats the inner and outer labias and smooths uneven skin, lightens, and tightens the vulva and perineum.
Advanced Shot
What is the Advanced Female Wellness Shot?
The Advanced Female Wellness Shot uses your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is obtained with a simple blood draw and placed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP and red and white blood cells. Platelet-rich plasma contains naturally occurring growth factors. When PRP is injected into the clitoris and vaginal wall, stem cells are activated in the injected area, which encourages tissue regeneration and increased blood flow. With new tissue and increased blood flow in the areas responsible for sexual pleasure, sensitivity is increased.
