Emily Niccolini, PA explains what this means for common menopause symptoms and how Studio R Aesthetics provides personalized HRT care. ### Content By Emily Niccolini, PA The FDA has officially updated its stance on hormone replacement therapy for women, removing several outdated “black box” warnings from menopause medications. This change reflects newer research showing that HRT can be safe and effective for many women, especially those under 60 or within ten years of menopause. This announcement matters because millions of women experience common menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, mood changes, low libido, and disrupted sleep. For many women, hormone replacement therapy is one of the most reliable ways to reduce these symptoms and support long term wellness. At Studio R Aesthetics, we are very excited about how this news can help women in our community make informed decisions about their health. It reinforces the value of the personalized care we provide. Our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy program focuses on restoring optimal hormone levels to improve energy, mental clarity, sexual health, and everyday well being. Each patient receives a full consultation, comprehensive lab work, and a customized plan using pellets, patches, or creams based on needs and lifestyle. The FDA’s update supports a more accurate, science based conversation about menopause and hormone therapy. It empowers women to explore safe, effective options instead of avoiding treatment due to outdated warnings. If you are dealing with menopause symptoms or want to know whether hormone replacement therapy is right for you, our wellness team is here to guide you.

At Studio R in Charlottesville, we offer several brow treatments to take your brows to the next level. In Charlottesville, VA ### Content #### Shape & Define *Expert Waxing, Tinting & Lamination for Perfect Brows* Our comprehensive **Brow Services in Charlottesville** include *brow wax*, *brow tweeze*, *brow tint*, and *brow lamination*. Brow tint acts like a blanket over the hair and provides a coating to the hair shaft, coating the top layers of the hair cuticle only. As the brow cuticle has a scale like finish this coating smooths out the finish, almost like buffing out the hair imperfections to give the appearance of a thicker, softer and smoother hair and eyebrow. Brow lamination is treatment that involves perming your brow hairs. Instead of curls, like a traditional perm, you get straighter, upward-facing brow hairs that are secured in place. This *brow treatment* can help solve the appearance of bare patches, thinning eyebrows, and irregular hairs, as well as make thin eyebrows brows look much fuller and styled at all times. #### Brow Services **Brow Lamination:** Enhancement service for your brows that lifts and smooths unruly brow hairs, creating a fuller more defined appearance that lasts for weeks.

Our comprehensive Lash Services include lash extensions, lash lifts, and lash tints, Latisse, and Bimatoprost for thinning lashes. In Charlottesville, VA ### Content #### Lift & Define *Lifts, Tints, & Other Treatments for Beautiful Lashes* Our skilled aesthetic specialists offer comprehensive **lash services in Charlottesville, VA**, including *lash lifts*, *lash tints*, *Latisse*, and *Bimatoprost*. **A lash lift **is a great alternative to eyelash extensions and can also help save time in your daily routine. Like *eyelash extensions*, lash lifts make your lashes appear fuller and thicker. The difference between lash extensions and lash lifts is that lifts require no extensions and simply add volume to your natural lashes. **A lash tint** is a simple yet effective way to *enhance your natural lashes* without the need for mascara. By adding semi-permanent color to your lashes, a tint makes them appear darker, fuller, and more defined from root to tip. It’s a quick treatment that can make your eyes stand out effortlessly and cut down on your daily makeup routine. We offer tinting for upper and lower lashes. **Latisse and Bimatoprost treatments.** Eyelash thinning is typical as you age; in fact, more than half of adult women reported seeing significant changes in eyelash thickness over time. Several circumstances can influence the health and fullness of your eyelashes. Latisse and Bimatoprost can help resolve these issues. #### LASH SERVICES OVERVIEW **Lash Lift** — Enhances your natural lashes. Curls them up and makes you look more awake without the use of a damaging lash curler or lash extensions. Lasts 6-8 weeks. We offer: - Traditional Lash Lifts - Gentle (Korean) Lash Lifts - Anime Lash Lifts **Lash Tint** — Enhance your top and bottom lashes by adding tint, lasts 4-6 weeks. #### Lash Lifts Say goodbye to the daily hassle of curlers and mascara—our *lash lifts* give your natural lashes a fuller, longer, and more defined look that lasts for weeks. Whether you’re after a soft, natural curl or something more dramatic, we offer three *customizable lash lift options* to fit your style: - **Traditional Lash Lift** – A classic choice for effortless curl and lift from root to tip. - **Gentle (Korean) Lash Lift** – A gentle, adhesive-free method that nourishes lashes while creating a natural yet striking curl. - **Anime Lash Lift** – For bold, doll-like eyes with extra lift and separation that make your lashes truly pop. - **Bottom Lift **- add on to any of our lash lift options for an even more dramatic eye-opening effect.

It may help you grow thicker, longer, and darker lashes that last long term with continued application – not simply for your beach getaway. *Latisse*, marketed under the trade name *Bimatoprost*, has been clinically demonstrated to promote longer, thicker, and darker lashes. Initially, doctors tested this drug on people with glaucoma. They noticed that their patients also grew their eyelashes. Latisse is a prescription eye drop that might make eyelashes grow. It helps them to grow for a long time, and it makes more hairs grow too. At Studio R Aesthetics, we are excited to help our patients regrow their eyelashes with Latisse/bimatoprost.

In Charlottesville, VA ### Content #### Regrow & Revitalize *Advanced Solutions for Fuller, Healthier Hair* *Hair loss* is progressive and chronic affecting at least 50% of women by age 50 and 40% of men by age 35, which progresses to up to 70% of people in later life. Because hair is an important part of our appearance, hair loss can cause significant psychological impact resulting in symptoms of depression and diminished quality of life, especially in women. There are a number of intrinsic and extrinsic *factors that contribute to hair loss* including hormonal fluctuations, genetics, diet, oxidative damage and aging, and environmental aggressors such as ultraviolet light and pollutants. The good news is that there are a number of treatments that have been shown through clinical trials to significantly *improve hair growth* in women and men through a multi-targeted approach that addresses inflammation, stress, and oxidative damage. Studio R Aesthetics is proud to partner with *Nutrafol* to provide the best bio-optimized nutraceuticals available for **hair restoration** coupled with the healing power of your own body using growth factors that stimulate hair follicles and hair regrowth. #### What Causes Thinning Hair And Hair Loss? Research now shows that *hair loss* is multi-factorial and the various hair loss disorders share many of the same causative factors: - **Hormones**: Dihydroxytestosterone is an androgen that is produced from testosterone in the scalp and can cause the hair follicle to shrink and eventually close entirely - **Stress**: Stress can cause hair follcies to shift from growth state to rest state, disrupt hormone and nutrient absorption, and impact the hair follicle on multiple levels - **Lifestyle**: Products we use and foods we eat can influence hair follicles by introducing toxin into your body and depleting antioxidant stores - **Metabolism**: Our metabolism provides the energy needed for hair growth and factors like aging, inflammation, and hormone imbalances can lead to poor metabolism, which negatively impacts hair cells - **Nutrition**: Key nutrients from the diet, including keratin, help build hair filbers, tecture and support hair follicle health. Without proper nutritient absorption, hair follicles don't get the nourishment they need - **Aging**: The scalp loses collagen and elastin as we age and this breakdown eliminates key components of the scalp that protect, hydrate, and replenish nutrients needed for hair growth - causing hair to become shorter, weaker, and less pigmented #### How Do I Know If I Am Losing Too Much Hair? *Hair loss* can appear in many different ways: - **Gradual thinning on the top of the head**: this is the most common pattern of hair loss and typically affects people as they age. Hair recedes at the hairline on the forehead in men and women typically have a broadening of the part in their hair, although a receding hairline is becoming more common in women. - **Sudden loosening of hair**: a traumatic event that causes physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when washing or combing hair. This type of hair loss is temporary. - **Full body hair loss**: some conditions and medical treatments (e.g. chemotherapy) can cause hair loss all over the body and scalp and usually grows back. - **Circular or patchy bald spots**: Some people lose hair in a circular pattern or have patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. The skin may become itchy or painful during this process. The **Tug or Hair Pull Test** can measure the severity of hair loss. A provider will grasp approximately 40 strands of hair between their thumb, index, and middle fingers as close to the scalp as possible. They will then tug using a small amount of force. If six or more strands fall out, you have active hair loss and may need our Charlottesville **Hair Restoration** treatments. #### What Is Actually Happening *during the process of hair thinning and loss?* Chronic inflammation at the level of the hair follicle appears to be the common end point of all types of *hair loss*. Within the local hair follicle environment, multiple cytokines, growth factors and transcription factors signal the follicle to go into anagen phase (growth phase) and play a role in regeneration and renewal. When there is inflammation, overproduced cytokines and transcription factors induce premature catagen phase (regression or cell death), produce reactive oxygen species that propagate inflammation, cause apoptosis (cell death), and result in perifollicular fibrosis (scarring) and miniaturization. External factors such as ultraviolet light, pollutants, toxins, stress, aging, and smoking also promote inflammation and oxidative stress, contributing to hair loss. Sustained and chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which leads to perifollicular inflammation and disruption of normal follicle function. Increased DHT activity at the hair follicle induces the overproduction of factors that signal catagen and regression, block transition to anagen, and induce oxidative stress that results in inflammation, perifollicular fibrosis, and miniaturization.

Based on the multi-factorial *causes of hair loss*, Nutrafol has created a novel nutraceutical supplement that strengthens and promotes the growth of hairs in men and women with thinning hair. The primary ingredients are: **Saw Palmetto** lowers follicle-shrinking DHT hormone to promote hair growth without compromising sexual function, which can happen with the FDA-approved medication finasteride **Sensoril Ashwagandha** is an adaptogen that helps balance stress hormones ion the body to support a healthy hair growth cycle **Tocotrienol Complex** is a concentrated form of Vitamin E, a super antioxidant that fights against environmental stress to improve hair density **Curcumin** is a superior antioxidant that addresses multiple root causes of hair thinning and is substantially more potent than turmeric alone **Piperin** is a natural bioenhancer that increases the bioavailability of curcumin through better digestion and absorption **Marine Collagen Peptides** provide the building blocks of strong hair fibers, while delivering hydration to the scalp [Click Here](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29141069/) to read more about *Nutrafol's supplements* #### Can Growth Factor Injections Treat Hair Loss? A review of clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of growth factor injections for **hair restoration** found that the majority of studies included in the review demonstrated effectiveness in promoting successful hair regrowth after 3-4 monthly sessions performed on a monthly basis. These studies demonstrated significant increases in hair count (density) and shaft caliber, as well as an increased number of hair follicles in telogen. Patient satisfaction was typically very high and 60-70% of patients continued to undergo quarterly maintenance treatments with growth factor injections. [Click Here](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34741573/) to read more about *hair restoration treatment options* #### Are Growth Factor Injections Painful? At Studio R Aesthetics, we ensure that our patients have access to treatments without fear of intolerable discomfort. We can use a Chiller device to blow cold air at -30 degrees on the treatment area, which desensitizes the nerve endings and reduces pain. We can also administer Pronox, which is a self-delivery nitrous oxide system that increases physical and emotional comfort for our patients. #### Are There Any Side Effects *After Hair Restoration treatment with growth factor injections?* *Growth factor injections* are generally considered safe when performed by a trained physician. Because growth factors are drawn from your own blood, there is no chance of having any kind of reaction. Growth factor injections may not be appropriate for patients with bleeding disorders, autoimmune disease, active injection, or currently taking anticoagulant medication. There is a very small risk of infection. #### Hair Restoration With Growth Factors *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Injectables & Fillers **Link:** [Injectables & Fillers](https://studioraesthetics.com/injectables-fillers/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/injectables-fillers/index.html.md)) **Description:** At Studio R Aesthetics in Charlottesville, we offer Injectables & Fillers such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Kybella, Sculptra and much more.

In just minutes, you can smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours, with results lasting anywhere from 4 months to a year. As we age, our skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of definition. *Injectable dermal fillers help replenish these essential components, restoring hydration, volume, and a refreshed look*. Hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the skin—plays a key role in maintaining moisture, firmness, and elasticity. As its levels decline over time, wrinkles and sagging can appear, but fillers work to counteract these effects. At Studio R Aesthetics, Dr. Segura expertly administers top-tier *injectable fillers*, including the RHA Collection from *Revance*, *Restylane*, *Juvéderm*, and *Versa*—some of the most trusted and effective anti-aging solutions available today.

[Book Now](/contact/) #### What Are Dermal Fillers? *Dermal fillers are gel-like injectables most often composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule naturally found in skin that retains moisture and boosts elasticity*. As we age, HA levels decrease, resulting in thinner skin, volume loss, and more visible wrinkles. By injecting FDA-approved *HA fillers* into targeted areas, we can restore a smoother, plumper, more youthful look. Our providers are highly trained in facial anatomy and injection techniques, ensuring each treatment enhances, not overpowers, your features. #### Rejuvenate Your Look *Dermal Filler Benefits* - Smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose - Restore volume to sunken cheeks and temples - Reduce the appearance of lip lines - Soften chin creases - Improve the look of recessed scars When it comes to looking younger, **dermal fillers in Charlottesville** offer a faster, more affordable, and non-invasive alternative to a facelift. In just 30 minutes, you can refresh your look with results that last anywhere from 4 months to over a year, depending on your skin and age. With minimal downtime and natural-looking enhancements, it’s no wonder most patients love their results! #### What Is the Dermal Filler Treatment Like? Your experience at Studio R is calm, intentional, and patient-led. After a thorough consultation with Dr. Segura or one of our expert providers, we’ll map out a custom plan that matches your goals. During your **dermal filler** treatment: - The skin is cleansed and prepped - A numbing agent may be applied for comfort - Small amounts of filler are injected precisely into target areas - The provider massages and assesses symmetry as they go Appointments typically last 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a quick pinch, and we prioritize your comfort every step of the way. #### What Are the Results and Aftercare Like? Results are immediate. You’ll leave the office looking refreshed, though some mild swelling or redness is normal for a day or two. Bruising is uncommon but possible, especially around sensitive areas like the lips or under-eyes. We provide aftercare guidance, but here’s a quick overview: - Avoid vigorous exercise or alcohol for 24 hours - Don’t rub or massage treated areas for at least 48 hours - Use cold compresses if needed for swelling - Skip facials or intense heat exposure for several days Full results typically settle in within 2 weeks, with most patients returning to normal routines the same day. #### Why Choose Studio R for Dermal Fillers?

You’ll be able to get rid of your wrinkles and fine lines in only a few minutes, with the effects lasting anywhere from four months to a year! As you age and start to see the signs of aging in the form of facial wrinkles and creases, you may have considered non-surgical treatments like **dermal fillers in Staunton, VA**. Aging causes collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to be lost from the skin, so we use injectable dermal fillers to help improve definition and hydrate your skin. Many dermal fillers contain natural components that help to restore the skin’s moisture and appearance.

Wrinkles, folds and a worn appearance may develop as you get older and your body produces less HA. At Studio R Aesthetics, Dr. Segura uses *injectable fillers*, such as the RHA collection from *Revance*, *Restylane*, *Juvederm*, and *Versa*, which are some of the most popular anti-aging treatments available today. Using these injectable fillers can help to plump up your skin and increase volume. They are made of a hyaluronic acid gel and work by adding volume to the face.

Unlike traditional laser hair removal devices that apply energy to an area all at once, Forever Bare BBL uses motion technology to deliver a low fluence in multiple pulses, protecting the skin while progressively raising the follicle temperature to the optimal level for hair removal. At the same time, a sapphire plate on the handpiece provides continuous cooling, even at maximum power, to cool the skin before, during and after treatment. This technology for heating and cooling makes *Forever Bare BBL* safe, effective, and comfortable for skin types I through V, making it a great alternative to traditional **laser hair removal in Charlottesville**. *Laser Hair Removal* Starting at $60 [Book Now](/contact/) #### Laser Hair Removal Pricing #### How does BBL remove hair? *The BBL Hair Removal Procedure* The treatment area is shaved, and a clear gel is applied to the treatment area to focus the light energy and cool the top skin layer. The *BBL hair removal* handpiece can then be used to deliver single pulses of light, or the High Energy Rapid Output (HERO) technology can be used to apply a pulse of light as the handpiece is moved across the skin in a continuous manner. Approximately 100-200 hair follicles can be treated with each flash of light. Large areas such as the chest, back, and legs can be treated in a single session. It can also be used for small delicate areas like the face and under arms. Patients should avoid waxing, tweezing, and bleaching the hair prior to **laser hair removal** treatments and during the course of treatment as these grooming activities can decrease the effectiveness of the treatments. Hair needs to be present in the follicle for *BBL treatments* to be most effective. Since waxing or plucking pulls hair out of the follicle, recently waxed or plucked areas will not be suitable for treatment. [Watch a BBL Underarm Treatment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WslFjosCg8) #### Versatile and Effective *What areas of the body can laser hair removal treat?* With **laser hair removal** Charlottesville patients can use this treatment on virtually any area of the body that grows hair, including: - Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns) - Underarms - Bikini area - Legs - Arms - Back and chest #### Say Goodbye to Shaving and Waxing *What are the benefits of BBL laser hair removal?* Broadband light (BBL) works by emitting light that passes through the skin and is preferentially absorbed by the hair follicle, damaging the follicle and removing the hair without damaging the surrounding tissue - a process called photo-epilation. Unlike traditional **laser hair removal** devices that apply energy in a sudden burst, BBL is a more advanced technology that utilizes multiple wavelengths of light ranging from 590 to 1200 nm to make the treatment more comfortable for the patient. Thanks to BBL’s large spot size, Forever Bare BBL is one of the fastest hair removal treatments on the market. It evenly heats hair follicles throughout the treatment area, minimizing missed spots that are common in other treatments. Like other BBL treatments, *Forever Bare BBL* comes with adapters for different spot sizes, so we can treat large areas quickly and small areas precisely. Another advantage of BBL is that it often requires fewer treatments than traditional *laser hair removal*. #### Personalized Care for Exceptional Results *Who is a candidate for BBL hair removal?* *BBL hair removal* can be performed on: - Fitzpatrick skin types I-V (porcelain white through olive to dark brown) - A wide range of hair colors ranging from light brown to dark black hair - Most parts of the body can be treated, no matter how deep the hair follicles reside - Unwanted hair on sensitive areas like the lips, ears, nose, underarms, and bikini line can also be treated This makes BBL hair removal an amazing alternative to typical **laser hair removal**. Patients should avoid medications such as antibiotics that increase your skin’s sensitivity to light. Usage of skin care products such as Retin-A, Differin, Renova, Glycolic or AHAs (Alpha-hydroxy acids) can cause your skin to be more sensitive and should be discontinued a week before *BBL treatments*. #### Transform Your Routine *Laser Hair Removal Recovery* *BBL laser hair removal* has minimal downtime. After your session, you may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves within 48 hours. Post-Treatment Care: - Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+ sunscreen. - Refrain from waxing, plucking, or tweezing hair between sessions. - Apply hydrocortisone cream if needed for any irritation. Patients often see small bumps around treated follicles, which indicates the treatment is working. These bumps resolve quickly and do not require additional care. #### Effortless Beauty *Laser Hair Removal Results* Most patients notice reduced hair growth after their first **laser hair removal** treatment, with significant improvements after 3–6 sessions. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are necessary to target hair in its active growth phase (anagen). Results vary based on your hair type, growth cycle, and treatment area, but the majority of patients achieve long-lasting smoothness. Maintenance treatments may be required annually to keep treated areas smooth and hair-free. #### Laser Hair Removal *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Laser Skin Rejuvenation **Link:** [Laser Skin Rejuvenation](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/laser-skin-rejuvenation-lynchburg/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/laser-skin-rejuvenation-lynchburg/index.html.md)) **Description:** Transform your skin with laser skin rejuvenation at Studio R Aesthetics in Lynchburg.

Regular treatments can maintain your rejuvenated appearance and boost long-term skin health. #### Laser Skin Rejuvenation *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Laser Resurfacing **Link:** [Laser Resurfacing](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/laser-skin-rejuvenation-staunton/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/laser-skin-rejuvenation-staunton/index.html.md)) **Description:** At Studio R Aesthetics serving Staunton, VA, CO2 laser skin treatment uses energy in the form of heat to precisely remove layers of damaged skin. ### Content As we age, our skin loses its fresh and smooth appearance because we lose collagen, develop areas of hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, and form wrinkles and creases. Today more people than ever are avoiding invasive procedures like the facelift because there are effective non-surgical options like our Staunton **laser resurfacing** treatments that allow them to return to work quickly with little downtime and discomfort. Fractional ablation with a *CO2 laser* uses energy in the form of heat to precisely remove layers of damaged skin, which can be used to treat sun damage, fine and deep wrinkles, scars, and skin lesions. *Nonablative lasers like Moxi are a less aggressive approach to CO2 lasers that can treat similar conditions with less downtime and discomfort, and can help patients avoid more invasive treatments like plastic surgery*. #### What is Moxi and how does it work? *Moxi is a nonablative fractionated laser made by the manufacturer Sciton* that delivers energy in the 1927nm wavelength, which targets water within cells to stimulate the natural healing processes in skin. Because the laser is nonablative and is limited to the superficial layers of the skin (up to 200nm), it can delivery energy comfortably to treat the initial signs of sun damage and aging regardless of the skin type. This **laser resurfacing** is also perfect prejuvenation, which helps prevent the signs of aging in younger patients and helps them maintain beautiful skin with little to no downtime or discomfort. Moxi is optimally paired with *BBL Hero*. #### What Can Moxi Be Used To Treat? The nonablative *Moxi laser* can be used to treat the following conditions: - Pigmentation and sun damage including freckles, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation - Uneven skin tone and texture - Signs of aging - Large pores With **laser resurfacing** Staunton patients can also be treat body parts other than the face, including the neck, decolletage, chest, arms, hands, and legs for skin rejuvenation. #### How Does A CO2 Laser Work? Lasers used in aesthetics can have a variety of applications with the *CO2 laser* serving as one of the most widely used because its wavelength is well absorbed in water (also known as the chromophore). As skin contains a very high percentage of water, this makes *the CO2 laser ideal for precise, safe ablation* with good hemostasis or control of bleeding. When lasers are used for aesthetic purposes, we use laser energy to ablate or vaporize tissue while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue. Fully ablative treatment with a *CO2 laser involves removal of the entire epidermis*, which stimulates the regrowth of a younger-looking epidermis, collagenesis and remodeling of the dermis. The aim of fully ablative resurfacing is to ablate the epidermis cleanly off the dermis and leave a zone of dermis that would promote the wound healing process, which gives great results but comes with significant discomfort and downtime, as well as the risk of infection and scarring. Fractional ablation is a newer approach that uses microablative columns of vaporization involving both the epidermis and dermis, which stimulates re-epithelialization in the normal surrounding undamaged skin and wound healing under the protection of an intact epidermis to give similar results to full ablation without the discomfort, downtime or risk of complications. Nonablative methods of **laser resurfacing** are not considered as effective as the ablative methods because they leave the epidermis intact, limiting the healing response. [Click here](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3999431/) to read a review article about CO2 laser treatments #### What Conditions *can be treated with a CO2 laser?* Fractional ablation with **laser resurfacing** can be used to treat the following conditions: - Sun damage including freckles, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation - Fine and deep wrinkles - Acne and acne scars - Skin laxity and uneven texture - Scars - Large pores - Stretch marks Fractional ablation can also be performed on body parts other than the face, including the neck, decolletage, chest, arms and hands for skin rejuvenation. #### What is Coolpeel® with a CO2 laser? CoolPeel® is an advanced way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional *CO2 resurfacing* treatment by targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed using heat, revealing younger and healthier looking skin. Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments but ONLY the *CoolPeel* can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection. #### Can Laser Treatments *be performed on any Fitzpatrick skin type?* *Moxi can be used on any skin type from Fitzpatrick I-VI, any time of the year*. We offer two primary types of fractional ablation with a CO2 laser at Studio R Aesthetics, with the primary difference being how deep we perform the ablation. The *Coolpeel treatment* is limited to the epidermal layer and does not reach the epidermal-dermal junction, where the melanocytes are found. Because we are limiting treatment to the epidermis, the *Coolpeel can be performed on any skin type with minimal risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation*. Downtime is minimal and patients typically look like they have a sunburn with rough skin for 2-3 days. The *Deka treatment* goes deeper into the dermis, beyond the epidermal-dermal junction. This treatment can only be performed on Fitzpatrick I-III patients because of the risk of PIH in patients with a higher Fitzpatrick type. Patients typically experience seeping and skin crusting for up to 10 days after more aggressive treatments. #### Is Treatment With Lasers Painful? At Studio R Aesthetics, we ensure that our patients have access to treatments without fear of intolerable discomfort. Topical anesthetic is only needed for *Moxi treatments* when we use more aggressive settings. Topical anesthetic is applied for 30 minutes prior to Coolpeel treatements and 60 minutes for Deka treatments. We apply the strongest topical anesthetic available to the treatment site for at least 30-60 minutes prior to performing the procedure, which desensitizes the nerve endings in the epidermis and reduces sensations from **laser resurfacing** treatments. We can use a Chiller device to blow cold air at -30 degrees on the treatment area, which further desensitizes the nerve endings and reduces pain. Pronox cannot be used during laser treatments due to the risk of fire. #### Are There Any Side Effects *Or Complications Related To A CO2 Laser Treatment?* There are both risks and complications associated with all *laser treatment* procedures of the skin. #### CO2 Laser Ablation *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Laser skin resurfacing **Link:** [Laser skin resurfacing](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/laser-skin-resurfacing/index.html.md)) **Description:** Our Charlottesville laser skin resurfacing treatment with a CO2 laser precisely removes layers of damaged skin, which treats sun damage, wrinkles, scars, skin laxity, and large pores. ### Content #### Renew & Restore *with Moxi and CO2 laser skin resurfacing* As we age, our skin loses its fresh and smooth appearance because we lose collagen, develop areas of hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, and form wrinkles and creases.

Nonablative lasers like *Moxi* are a less aggressive approach to CO2 lasers that can treat similar conditions with less downtime and discomfort, and can help patients avoid more invasive treatments like plastic surgery. #### What Conditions Can Be Treated With A CO2 Laser? *Fractional ablation with a CO2 laser* can be used to treat the following conditions: - Sun damage including freckles, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation - Fine and deep wrinkles - Acne and acne scars - Skin laxity and uneven texture - Scars - Large pores - Stretch marks **Laser skin resurfacing** can also be performed on body parts other than the face, including the neck, decolletage, chest, arms and hands for skin rejuvenation. #### What is Coolpeel® with a CO2 laser? *Coolpeel Laser Skin Resurfacing* CoolPeel® is an advanced way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment by targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed using heat, revealing younger and healthier looking skin. *Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments but ONLY the CoolPeel can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime*. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection. *CoolPeel* can be performed on the lips for rejuvenation, resulting in fuller lips with improved color and a more defined vermillion border. This treatment pairs extremely well with lip filler. #### What is Moxi laser skin resurfacing and how does it work? Moxi is a *nonablative fractionated laser* made by the manufacturer Sciton that delivers energy in the 1927nm wavelength, which targets water within cells to stimulate the natural healing processes in skin. Because the laser is nonablative and is limited to the superficial layers of the skin (up to 200nm), it can delivery energy comfortably to treat the initial signs of sun damage and aging regardless of the skin type. This laser is also perfect prejuvenation, which helps prevent the signs of aging in younger patients and helps them maintain beautiful skin with little to no downtime or discomfort. *Moxi is optimally paired with BBL Hero*. #### What can Moxi be used to treat? The nonablative *Moxi laser* can be used to treat the following conditions: - Pigmentation and sun damage including freckles, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation - Uneven skin tone and texture - Signs of aging - Large pores With **laser skin resurfacing** Charlottesville patients can also have this performed on body parts other than the face, including the neck, decolletage, chest, arms, hands, and legs for skin rejuvenation. #### Can Laser Skin ResurfacingTreatments *Be Performed On Any Fitzpatrick Skin Type?* Moxi can be used on any skin type from Fitzpatrick I-VI, any time of the year. We offer two primary types of fractional ablation with a CO2 laser at Studio R Aesthetics, with the primary difference being how deep we perform the ablation. The [Coolpeel](/laser-treatments/coolpeel/) treatment is limited to the epidermal layer and does not reach the epidermal-dermal junction, where the melanocytes are found. Because we are limiting treatment to the epidermis, the *Coolpeel can be performed on any skin type with minimal risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation*. Downtime is minimal and patients typically look like they have a sunburn with rough skin for 2-3 days. The Deka treatment goes deeper into the dermis, beyond the epidermal-dermal junction. This **laser skin resurfacing** treatment can only be performed on Fitzpatrick I-III patients because of the risk of PIH in patients with a higher Fitzpatrick type. Patients typically experience seeping and skin crusting for up to 10 days after more aggressive treatments. #### Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Painful? At Studio R Aesthetics, we ensure that our patients have access to treatments without fear of intolerable discomfort. Topical anesthetic is only needed for *Moxi treatments* when we use more aggressive settings. Topical anesthetic is applied for 30 minutes prior to *Coolpeel treatements* and 60 minutes for Deka treatments. We apply the strongest topical anesthetic available to the treatment site for at least 30-60 minutes prior to performing the procedure, which desensitizes the nerve endings in the epidermis and reduces sensations from **laser skin resurfacing** treatments. We can use a Chiller device to blow cold air at -30 degrees on the treatment area, which further desensitizes the nerve endings and reduces pain. Pronox cannot be used during *laser treatments* due to the risk of fire. #### Are There Any Side Effects Or Complications *Related to a CO2 laser treatment?* There are both risks and complications associated with all laser treatment procedures of the skin. #### Laser Skin Resurfacing *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Morpheus8 **Link:** [Morpheus8](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/morpheus8/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/laser-treatments/morpheus8/index.html.md)) **Description:** RF Microneedling with Morpheus8 in Charlottesville is one of the most effective devices for skin tightening, improving wrinkles, reducing scars and stretch marks, and targeted fat reduction. ### Content #### Tighten & Rejuvenate *Advanced Skin Resurfacing & Lifting with Morpheus8* As we age, our skin loses its fresh and smooth appearance because we lose collagen, develop areas of hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, and form wrinkles and creases. *Today more people than ever are avoiding invasive plastic surgery procedures like the facelift because there are effective non-surgical options that allow them to return to work quickly with little downtime and discomfort*. *Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a groundbreaking technology that can restore the youthful look through skin resurfacing and tightening*.

In my job, I have to stand up and present to many people; how I look plays a big part in how I feel. My starting weight was 214, so I wanted to get to 190 lbs. Over the first few weeks, I began to see results. When I hit 10 lbs down, I was ecstatic. In the back of my mind, I wanted to prove that I could have the body I had when I was 21 years old. In conversation, I quickly learned that many people thought that was impossible. However, I saw it as a challenge. The more weight I lost, the more disciplined I became. Quickly, people at the gym and others I encounter from time to time commented that I looked great and I was losing weight. Now, I feel great with my shirt off, look great, and have tremendous energy. Another plus is that Semaglutide enabled me to change my eating habits in the long term." --- ## Weight Loss Options **Link:** [Weight Loss Options](https://studioraesthetics.com/weight-loss-options/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/weight-loss-options/index.html.md)) **Description:** Explore science-backed weight loss options designed to help you reach your goals safely and sustainably. --- ## Wellness Treatments **Link:** [Wellness Treatments](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/index.html.md)) **Description:** At Studio R Aesthetics in Charlottesville, we offer Wellness Treatments such as Hormone Replacement therapy, Gut Health treatments, weight loss treatments and more. ### Content --- ## Vitamin Shots **Link:** [Vitamin Shots](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/energyboosts/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/energyboosts/index.html.md)) **Description:** Boost energy, metabolism, and muscle recovery with Ultra-Burn Energy Boosts and Vitamin Shots in Charlottesville, VA.

Testosterone, the primary *male sex hormone*, is responsible for regulating many of these essential functions. However, as men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to imbalances that can manifest in a variety of troublesome symptoms. Some of the most common *symptoms of hormonal imbalances in men* include: - Decreased muscle mass and strength - Low libido and sexual dysfunction - Low energy and fatigue - Mental fog and difficulty concentrating - Mood swings and irritability - Weight gain, especially around the abdomen If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's crucial to recognize that you don't have to accept them as an inevitable part of aging. Our Charlottesville **Men's hormone replacement therapy** offers a targeted approach to *rebalancing your hormones*, optimizing health, and revitalizing your life. #### The Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men **Men's hormone replacement therapy** can provide a wide range of benefits for men struggling with hormonal imbalances. Some of the most notable advantages include: #### Introducing Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets One of the most effective and convenient forms of HRT for men is bio-identical hormone pellet therapy (BHRT). These small pellets, typically made from natural plant sources like soy or yams, contain *bio-identical hormones* that are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body. *Bio-identical hormone pellets offer several advantages over other forms of hormone replacement therapy*, including: - **Consistent Hormone Delivery: **Unlike oral medications or topical creams, which can result in fluctuations in hormone levels, bio-identical hormone pellets provide a steady, sustained release of hormones into the bloodstream, ensuring consistent symptom relief. - **Convenience and Longevity:** Bio-identical hormone pellets are implanted subcutaneously during a simple in-office procedure and can last for several months, eliminating the need for daily hormone administration and frequent doctor visits. - **Customized Dosage: **The dosage of bio-identical hormone pellets can be customized to meet your individual needs, allowing for personalized treatment and optimal symptom relief.

Contact us today to learn more and start your journey towards hormonal optimization. #### I Had My Blood Testosterone Levels Checked, *How do I know if I have low testosterone?* The decision to start testosterone supplementation in men is driven by symptoms, meaning that men should only be assessed for testosterone deficiency if they have some of the symptoms below. It is not based solely on serum testosterone levels. There are validated questionnaires that can be used to determine if a man has symptoms of low testosterone such as the Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males (ADAM) questionnaire: - Do you have a decrease in libido (sex drive)? - Do you have a lack of energy? - Do you have a decrease in strength and/or endurance? - Have you lost height? - Have you noticed a decreased "enjoyment of life" - Are you sad and/or grumpy? - Are your erections less strong? - Have you noted a recent deterioration in your ability to play sports? - Are you falling asleep after dinner? - Has there been a recent deterioration in your work performance? If you answered "yes" to questions 1 or 7, OR "yes" to any 3 other questions, *you may have low testosterone and could benefit from hormone supplementation*. This is when we check and interpret lab values. The problem with defining low testosterone based on lab reference ranges is that *testosterone levels* are only one part of the equation - this does not tell us how much testosterone is free to act on androgen receptors, and how sensitive (or insensitive) the androgen receptors are to testosterone. This is why we decide to supplement based on symptoms, using testosterone levels as a guide. The goal is always to return men to the *healthy testosterone levels* they had in their 20's. #### Are There Natural Ways To Increase Testosterone Levels? The short answer is yes, but not enough to treat men with a diagnosis of hypogonadism or *low testosterone*. These are more relevant to men who do not have the symptoms of low testosterone but feel like they would benefit from slightly higher testosterone levels. The activities that have been shown to increase testosterone levels include: - Exercise and lifting weights - Reducing stress and cortisol levels - Vitamin D supplementation if you are deficient - Adequate sleep: sleeping only 5 hours a night was linked to a 10-15% reduction in testosterone levels - Avoid exposure to chemicals that can affect testosterone levels such as bisphenol-A (BPA), parabens, and some chemicals found in plastic. - Limit alcohol consumption: heavy alcohol use can lead to testicular atrophy #### Men's HRT *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Hormone Replacement for Women in Charlottesville **Link:** [Hormone Replacement for Women in Charlottesville](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/hormone-replacement-for-women/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/hormone-replacement-for-women/index.html.md)) **Description:** Our Charlottesville Women's Hormone Replacement Therapy (or HRT) is a treatment that uses natural hormones to increase energy and improve your health and wellbeing. ### Content #### Balance & Thrive *Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause* Are you experiencing persistent symptoms like **low energy, fatigue, brain fog, confusion, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, or low libido**?

However, as women age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to imbalances that can manifest in a variety of unpleasant symptoms classically associated with perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the primary hormones that regulate women's reproductive health and overall well-being. When these hormones become imbalanced, it can result in a range of symptoms, including: - Low energy and fatigue - Brain fog and difficulty concentrating - Mood swings and irritability - Weight gain, especially around the abdomen - Low libido and sexual dysfunction - Insomnia and sleep disturbances If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to recognize that you don't have to suffer. **Women's hormone replacement therapy** offers a safe and effective approach to balancing your hormones, optimizing health, and restoring your vitality. #### The Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women **Hormone replacement therapy for women** can provide a wide range of benefits for those who are *struggling with hormonal imbalances*. Some of the most notable advantages include: #### Introducing Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets One of the most popular and effective forms of **HRT for women** is bio-identical hormone pellet therapy (BHRT). These tiny pellets, typically made from natural plant sources like soy or yams, contain bio-identical hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body. *Bio-identical hormone pellets* offer several advantages over other forms of hormone replacement therapy, including: - **Consistent Hormone Delivery:** Unlike oral medications or topical creams, which can result in fluctuations in hormone levels, bio-identical hormone pellets provide a steady, sustained release of hormones into the bloodstream, ensuring consistent symptom relief. - **Convenience and Longevity:** Bio-identical hormone pellets are implanted subcutaneously during a simple in-office procedure and can last for several months, eliminating the need for daily hormone administration and frequent doctor visits. - **Customized Dosage:** The dosage of bio-identical hormone pellets can be customized to meet your individual needs, allowing for personalized treatment and optimal symptom relief.

It is a therapy used to restore your hormone levels to the normal healthy levels you had in your 20's, but have declined as a result of aging and other reasons. *BHRT pellets are made up of the same estrogen and testosterone that's naturally occurring in your body, created from plant-based ingredients*. Once the pellets are placed into the subcutaneous fat, then immediately begin releasing a continuous amount of hormones into your bloodstream to restore balance. The procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes and you are able to go back to normal activities within a week. #### What causes low hormones in women? The most common cause of *low hormones in women* is menopause. As a woman ages, there is decreased secretion of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone from the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and ovaries. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years old and results in the abrupt decline of these hormones, which are essential for the mental and physical well-being of women. There are other causes of low hormones, including premature ovarian failure, excessive exercise or extreme dieting, eating disorders, autoimmune conditions, and surgical removal of the ovaries. This can be helped with **Hormone Replacement for Women in Staunton**. #### What Are The Symptoms Of Low Hormones? The symptoms of low hormones can vary depending on the person and be differentiated based on the hormone involved: #### What Are The Benefits *Of Hormone Replacement for Women?* There are numerous benefits of our Staunton **Hormone Replacement for Women** treatments, which have been proven in high quality clinical trials over the last several decades: - Improved libido and desire: the same effect we see in men - Protective against depression and anxiety: women with low testosterone had a significantly higher rate of depression and anxiety compared to women who were on testosterone supplementation - Protective against breast cancer: women with low testosterone had a significantly higher incidence of breast cancer compared to women who were on testosterone supplementation - Patients on testosterone therapy for 12 months experience a 5-8% increase in bone mineral density - Decreased migraines caused by low testosterone - Increased lean muscle mass - Decreased body fat - Decreased triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), and cholesterol - Decreased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack: the same effect we see in men - Both testosterone and estrogen have a neuroprotective role against cognitive decline and cognitive disorders #### These Are The Benefits Of Estrogen Supplementation In Women: - Improvement in hot flashes and night sweats - Improvement in insomnia - Decreased vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse - Decreased migraines caused by low estrogen - Improved mood and decreased irritability #### What are Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets? *Bio-Identical Hormone pellets* are the size of a grain of rice (or smaller) and are made of the same testosterone and estrogen that occur in your body, not the synthetic forms of estrogen and testosterone that are in other preparations. One of the benefits of the bio-identical form is that the synthetic forms can have side effects such as increased risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism with oral estrogens and allergic reaction to injectable testosterones. *Another benefit of the pellets is that patients experience slow, controlled release over months rather than the daily and weekly variation that come with the other routes of administration*. The resulting blood level of hormone is also much more predictable with the pellets, peaking at 4-6 weeks after pellet placing and slowly decreasing over 3-4 months. #### What Is The Process *For Undergoing Hormone Replacement for Women?* - Call us at [(434) 260-1667](tel:434-260-1667) to schedule a consultation with one of our specialists or click the Book Now button below - Complete medical intake forms using our online portal - Meet with one of our specialists to review your medical history, symptoms and health concerns, as well as discuss the benefits of hormone supplementation and treatment options. - We use the *SottoPelle* algorithm for dosing, which incorporates your symptoms and lab results to determine the optimal dose of hormones to bring you back to normal healthy levels - Pellets are placed in the office; the procedure takes 10-15 minutes. - You will start the feel the benefits of the hormones 3-4 weeks after pellet placement - Labs are obtained 5-6 weeks after pellet placement to ensure optimal levels. If you continue to have symptoms despite increased hormone levels, our specialists can place additional pellets. - Pellets typically last 3-4 months and repeat labs are obtained 14-16 weeks after the initial pellet placement to guide subsequent doses. [Schedule a Consultation](https://web2.myaestheticspro.com/BN/index.cfm?1866FC74181EFBDCFEC0CBA88D161DD4FBC66F7FCA968DDF12B85466368C5E81) #### Why Does My Regular Doctor Tell Me *Not To Do Hormone Replacement With Bio-Identical Pellets?* If you’ve gone to your primary care or gynecology provider and asked about *hormone replacement therapy* (HRT), this is likely the response you received: “I don’t believe in *hormone supplementation for women*” “There’s no data to support hormone supplementation in women” “Our organization doesn’t advocate for hormone supplementation in women” If you’ve told your gynecology doctor that you have a low libido and desire, it’s likely they told you: “You should see a sex therapist” These are the most common responses we hear from female patients who come to us to ask about **HRT for Women** and hormone supplementation. Part of the problem is that these providers do not differentiate between the types of hormone preparations such as creams, pills, injections, and bio-identical pellets. For example, oral estrogen supplementation significantly increased the risk of thromboembolic events (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) because it is a synthetic preparation that is ingested, whereas bio-identical estrogen is identical to the estrogen your body produces and has been shown to NOT increase the risk of thromboembolic events. Pellets are the preferred method at Studio R Aesthetics because they do not cause the same problems as the other preparations. Another part of the problem is research studies such as the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study, which showed a higher risk for breast cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and thromboembolic events with combined treatment of ONLY synthetic estrogens and progestin (not testosterone or bio-identical hormone pellets). Since this study, there have been numerous clinical studies evaluating *bio-identical hormone pellets*, which have been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease in women undergoing *hormone supplementation* compared to women who were low hormone and not supplemented. #### Women's Hormone Replacement Starting At $450 [Book Now](/contact/) #### BHRT *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Hormone Replacement Therapy **Link:** [Hormone Replacement Therapy](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/hormone-replacement-lynchburg/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/hormone-replacement-lynchburg/index.html.md)) **Description:** Feel revitalized in Lynchburg, VA with hormone replacement therapy at Studio R Aesthetics.

It is a therapy used to restore your testosterone levels to the normal healthy levels you had in your 20's, but have declined as a result of aging and other reasons. *BHRT testosterone pellets are made up of the same testosterone that's naturally occurring in your body, created from plant-based ingredients*. Once the pellets are placed into the subcutaneous fat, then immediately begin releasing a continuous amount of testosterone into your bloodstream to restore balance. Our Staunton **Men's Hormone Replacement** procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes and you are able to go back to normal activities within a week. #### What causes low testosterone in men? *Men experience a peak in testosterone levels in their early 30's and experience a gradual age-associated decline in their mid-30's that continues at a rate of 1-3% per year*. Doctors will tell you that low testosterone is a normal part of aging, but this is a misleading statement. While aging is normal, hypogonadism or low testosterone is NOT and contributes to symptoms that negatively impact quality of life, as well as increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive disorders. During aging, decreased functioning of the pituitary gland (which signals the testicles to produce testosterone) or decreased responsiveness of the cells in the testicles that produce testosterone result in decreased blood levels of testosterone. Other *causes of low testosterone* include: - Unhealthy diet and obesity (increases estradiol, leptin, and adipokines) - Inadequate sleep - Undescended testis or injury to the testis - Pituitary disorders such as Kallman’s syndrome - HIV/AIDS - Autoimmune diseases - Chemotherapy and radiation therapy - Alcohol, opioids, and prior anabolic steroid use #### What Are The Symptoms Of Low Testosterone? - Decreased libido or sex drive - Decreased strength and duration of erections - Fatigue and decreased energy - Irritability - Decreased lean muscle mass - Increased fat, especially in the abdomen - Depression - Infertility - Difficulty concentrating or mental fog - Development of breast tissue (gynecomastia) - Loss of bone mass (osteopenia or osteoporosis) #### I Had My Blood Testosterone Levels Checked, *How Do I Know If I Have Low Testosterone?* The decision to start **Men's Hormone Replacement Therapy in Staunton** is driven by symptoms, meaning that men should only be assessed for testosterone deficiency if they have some of the symptoms above. It is not based on serum testosterone levels. There are validated questionnaires that can be used to determine if a man has symptoms of low testosterone such as the Androgen Deficiency in Aging Males (ADAM) questionnaire: - Do you have a decrease in libido (sex drive)? - Do you have a lack of energy? - Do you have a decrease in strength and/or endurance? - Have you lost height? - Have you noticed a decreased "enjoyment of life" - Are you sad and/or grumpy? - Are your erections less strong? - Have you noted a recent deterioration in your ability to play sports? - Are you falling asleep after dinner? - Has there been a recent deterioration in your work performance? If you answered "yes" to questions 1 or 7, OR "yes" to any 3 other questions, *you may have low testosterone and could benefit from hormone supplementation*. This is when we check and interpret lab values. The major problem with defining *low testosterone* based on lab reference ranges is that we know that the reference ranges reported with your bloodwork are inaccurate. Each lab has its own reference ranges that are often determined by a small number of random patients, for example 20 random male patients of varying ages. If a male patient has the symptoms of low testosterone, we supplement testosterone based on the blood level and reassess the patient in 6 weeks. If his symptoms are improved, we know that he has low testosterone and will benefit from supplementation. We also make sure that we don’t go above a certain level because there are health consequences of high testosterone. The goal is always to return men to the healthy testosterone levels they had in their 20's. #### Are There Natural Ways To Increase Testosterone Levels? The short answer is yes, but not enough to treat men with a diagnosis of *hypogonadism* or low testosterone. These are more relevant to men who do not have the symptoms of low testosterone but feel like they would benefit from slightly higher testosterone levels. The *activities that have been shown to increase testosterone levels* include: - Exercise and lifting weights - Reducing stress and cortisol levels - Vitamin D supplementation if you are deficient - Adequate sleep: sleeping only 5 hours a night was linked to a 10-15% reduction in testosterone levels - Avoid exposure to chemicals that can affect testosterone levels such as bisphenol-A (BPA), parabens, and some chemicals found in plastic. - Limit alcohol consumption: heavy alcohol use can lead to testicular atrophy #### What Are The Side Effects *Of Testosterone Supplementation With Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets?* Since we are returning your testosterone to the normal healthy levels you had in your 20’s, there are no long term side effects, only benefits. When men with low testosterone initially start **Men's Hormone Replacement**, there is a 3-4 period while the levels are increasing that he may experience irritability or aggressiveness as a result of the change. This is normal and will subside when the patient reaches a steady level of testosterone in the blood. We check testosterone levels again 14-16 weeks after pellet placement and plan the next placement to ensure blood levels of testosterone do not drop below the level where a man becomes symptomatic and goes through the adjustment phase again. Testosterone is converted into estrogen by aromatase in the body in both men and women. Some men have a relatively high level of estrogen in the body, defined as an estrogen to testosterone level greater than 3%. When this happens, men can experience symptoms of increased estrogen. We prescribe *Letrozole*, which is an aromatase blocker that is taken twice a month. There are a number of health consequences related to high testosterone, including increased blood pressure, increased risk of cardiovascular events and stroke, prostatomegaly (enlargement of the prostate gland), mood swings, aggressive behavior, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), and excessive hair growth. These DO NOT happen with testosterone supplementation using Bio-Identical Hormone pellets because we supplement to normal healthy levels. Many men who present to our practice with *low testosterone symptoms* have a total serum testosterone level of 300-400 ng/dL, and our initial target for total serum testosterone after pellet placement is 1000 ng/dL. #### What Are The Benefits *Of Men's Hormone Replacement In Men Who Have Low Testosterone?* - Improved libido and sexual satisfaction - Alleviate symptoms of erectile dysfunction - Increased energy and focus - Increased lean muscle mass - Decreased fat, especially in the abdomen - Improved mood - Better sleep - Protective against depression and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease - Improved bone mineralization - Decreased triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), and cholesterol - Decreased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack #### What are Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets? *Bio-Identical Hormone pellets are the size of a grain of rice and are made of the same testosterone that occurs in your body, not the synthetic forms of estrogen and testosterone that are in other preparations*. Injectable forms of testosterone can cause allergic reactions because of the additives and typically result in a higher level of aromatization and estrogen-related symptoms. Moreover, injectable forms are short-acting and result in peaks and troughs during weekly injections, whereas patients who use pellets experience slow, controlled release over months. The resulting blood level of hormone is also much more predictable with the pellets, peaking at 6 weeks after pellet placing and slowly decreasing over 4-5 months. #### Should I Do Testosterone Supplementation *If We Are Planning On A Pregnancy?* If you’re planning on pregnancy within 6-12 months, we recommend against testosterone supplementation. While *testosterone is necessary for sperm production* (spermatogenesis), exogenous testosterone (produced outside the body) suppresses the release of the gonadotropins from the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, which results in lower testosterone production within the testis. High testosterone levels within the testis is needed for sperm spermatogenesis. Because of this, testosterone supplementation can result in azoospermia (complete absence of spermatozoa in ejaculate) in 65% of men within 4 months of starting treatment. For men who wish to preserve fertility, clomiphene and enclomiphene can be prescribed. These are medications that stimulate LH and FSH release from the pituitary gland, which stimulate the Leydig cells in the testicles to produce testosterone. The increased FSH increases sperm production and can improve fertility for men. #### What Is The Process For *Undergoing Men's Hormone Replacement Therapy?* - Call us at [(434) 260-1667](tel:434-260-1667) to schedule a consultation with on of our specialists or click on the Book Now link below - Complete medical intake forms using our online portal - Meet with one of our specialists to review your medical history, symptoms and health concerns, as well as discuss the benefits of *hormone supplementation* and treatment options. - We use the *SottPelle* algorithm for dosing, which incorporates your symptoms and lab results to determine the optimal dose of hormones to bring you back to normal healthy levels - Pellets are placed in the office; the procedure takes 10-15 minutes. - You will start the feel the benefits of the hormones 3-4 weeks after pellet placement - Labs are obtained 6 weeks after pellet placement to ensure optimal levels.

Patients can enjoy social activities immediately after treatment and typically see visible results after just one treatment, whereas less effective *IPL treatments* typically take 5 to 6 treatments to see results. As we age, our skin loses its fresh and smooth appearance because we lose collagen and elastin. Clinical trials have shown that topical *exosomes* can stimulate fibroblast cell proliferation, increase collagen and elastin, and can be used to decrease the age of skin and treat a variety of skin conditions. Learn more about **regenerative aesthetics in Staunton, VA** today! #### What Is Broadband Light (BBL) And How Does It Work?

This technology is a great way to avoid more invasive procedures later in life like plastic surgery. #### What Are The Differences Between BBL And IPL? *BBL* is a more advanced version of *IPL* and offers a number of substantial benefits compared to traditional IPL machines: - State of the art cooling features that ensure maximal patient comfort with minimal side effects - Filters that allow treatment of a wider range of skin conditions with increased firming and tightening of the skin - **BBL treatments have been shown to functionally change gene expression in aged skin to be more like younger skin, which is why it is considered regenerative aesthetics** - Better outcomes when treating conditions such as brown spots and acne when compared to IPL - **BBL Hero is performed more quickly than IPL and does not result in IPL striping or scarring that occurs as a result of the stamping process used with all IPL devices** #### What can I expect during a BBL treatment? Most patients do not need topical anesthetic and experience warmth during treatment. We will apply a cooling gel prior to the procedure and patients will wear protective eyewear. A typical treatment takes 30 minutes. #### How Do I Prepare For Regenerative Aesthetics Treatment? Patients undergoing BBL treatment should avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks before and after treatment. With all **regenerative aesthetics** Staunton patients should avoid waxing, sugaring, chemical peels, and products containing retinol, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid for 1 week prior to treatment. #### What Are Exosomes? *Exosomes* are tiny structure measuring 30-200 nm that play an important role in influencing the environment around cells to regulate communication and facilitate the exchange of RNA and important proteins between cells, in addition to transferring numerous growth factors, cytokines and genetic material that signal tissue repair and improve the health of skin cells. As we age, our skin loses its fresh and smooth appearance because we lose collagen and elastin. Clinical trials have shown that *topical exosomes can stimulate fibroblast cell proliferation, increase collagen and elastin, and can be used to decrease the age of skin and treat a variety of conditions*. #### What Can Exosomes Be Used For? When *exosomes* are applied to the skin, they can: - Reduce post-procedure redness and reduce downtime - Reduce the appearance of age-related pigment - Visibly make skin appear firmer and more youthful - Visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - Hydrate and nourish the skin - Promote a more radiant and even toned complexion When exosomes are applied to the scalp, they can: - Visibly make hair look and feel softer, shinier, and fuller - Hydrate and nourish the scalp - Promote a healthy hair growth cycle - Noticeably reduce hair shedding #### Which Treatments Are Exosomes Best Paired With? While *topical exosomes* can be applied directly to the skin, they are more effective when applied after our Staunton **regenerative aesthetics** treatments that allow the exosomes to penetrate deeper into the skin such as: - Chemical peels - Microneedling treatments - RF microneedling treatments - Moxi laser treatments - CO2 laser treatments #### Regenerative Aesthetics *Frequently Asked Questions* --- ## Supplements **Link:** [Supplements](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/supplements/) ([md](https://studioraesthetics.com/wellness/supplements/index.html.md)) **Description:** At Studio R Aesthetics in Charlottesville, VA, we offer Supplements from Thorne®, promoting longevity and optimal health through personalized wellness solutions. ### Content #### Thorne Supplements *High-Quality, Clinically-Tested Supplements* *Thorne is a leading supplement brand in the U.S., known for its commitment to quality, purity, and scientific research*.

Semaglutide is a once a week subcutaneous injection that suppresses appetite and hunger cravings through the appetite center in the brain. This means that patients taking *semaglutide* feel full earlier in a meal so they eat fewer calories. It also suppresses cravings so that you are less likely to eat the types of food that lead to weight gain that contain high levels of simple carbohydrates and unhealthy fats. *Semaglutide is a generic medication that is the same as Wegovy and Ozempic, which has been used in diabetics to reduce weight for more than 10 years*. We are now offering Virtual Consultations throughout Virginia!

There is a considerable amount of data supporting the safety and effectiveness of semaglutide. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study using a cross-over model, 30 patients who took **semaglutide** lost an average of 11 pounds over 12 weeks doing nothing other than taking *semaglutide* – they did not change their diet or activity level. The patients who took placebo actually gained a small amount of weight. The majority of weight lost was body fat, not lean muscle mass. - Double-blind means that neither the treating physician or patient knew if the patient was taking semaglutide or placebo. - Placebo-controlled means that one group received semaglutide and the other group received an inactive compound that has no effect on the body. - Cross-over model means that the patients who were first assigned to placebo were switched to *semaglutide* after the initial 12 weeks and vice versa. This ensures that the effects observed are the result of the medication being studied and is not related to the patient population. See figure 4 in this article: [Effects of once-weekly semaglutide on appetite, energy intake, control of eating, food preference and body weight in subjects with obesity](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5573908/) The ideal candidate has 10 or more pounds of *unwanted body fat* that they have had difficulty losing through diet and exercise alone. Patients who have frequent cravings or are prone to binge eating or emotional eating would greatly benefit from our Harrisonburg **semaglutide** treatment. Patients do not have to be dieting or exercising, but these activities make semaglutide more effective through a variety of mechanisms.

My starting weight was 136…I am now 125… in only 4 WEEKS. (I am 5’3, and was borderline overweight for my height). The treatment I am on is called Semaglutide. *Semaglutide reduces insulin secretion*. It is also known to reduce body weight and body fat mass through lowered food intake or reduced appetite. With my issue of constant binge eating, this treatment has taught me how to eat things that will actually benefit my body, get the nutrition I need, and be full quickly enough to where I don’t even feel the want or need to see what else is in my fridge at all hours of the night. I’ll just say that I am absolutely MIND BLOWN at these results after only 4 weeks. My jaw is dropped. SAME JEANS. Not edited. I have been insecure about my weight for I don’t even know how long. So insecure that I would say no to certain things in the summer with friends and started wearing only sweatshirts because I was so ashamed. This is life changing for me.
