Though we cannot turn back the clock, we can reverse some of its effects. With some strategies, treatments, and lifestyle choices, we can slow and even reverse the physical and biological effects of aging. One of the most promising approaches to maintaining youthfulness is through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with a particular focus on estrogen.

In this brief article brough to you by The Wellness Restoration Center, we explore what antiaging is, the role of bioidentical hormones in reversing some of the effects of aging, and how estrogen can work wonders for women’s skin. Give us a call or message if you’d rather consult with a member of our team.

Understanding antiaging

Antiaging isn't about defying nature but rather about making informed choices that enhance longevity, vitality, and quality of life. This can include things like maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, using targeted skincare, and opting for medical treatments to address specific signs of aging.

At the heart of many advanced anti-aging strategies is maintaining or restoring balance in the body’s natural processes. These can range from simple practices like wearing sunscreen daily to more advanced therapies such as cosmetic procedures and hormone replacement therapy.

Introducing bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)

Hormones regulate various processes in the body including metabolism, mood, energy levels, and skin health. As women age, hormone levels begin to fluctuate and eventually decline. This hormonal imbalance can lead to a range of symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and changes in skin elasticity.

BHRT is designed to replace these declining hormones with bioidentical versions. Unlike synthetic hormones which can cause side effects for some women, bioidentical hormones are tailored to more closely match the body’s natural hormones. While BHRT can address a range of issues, one of its most visible effects can be seen in the skin through estrogen.

Estrogen’s role in skin health

Estrogen is one of the most important hormones for maintaining the skin’s youthful appearance. Here’s how:

  • Estrogen increases collagen production. Collagen is a protein that gives skin its strength, structure, and elasticity.
  • Estrogen boosts the skin’s moisture levels by increasing the production of natural oils and improving the skin’s ability to retain water.
  • Estrogen helps maintain skin thickness.
  • Estrogen slows the deepening of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Estrogen can improve blood flow to the skin. This aids in healing and reduces inflammation which means a more even complexion, fewer red patches, and quicker healing of blemishes or minor injuries to the skin.

In fact, research has shown that women who receive estrogen replacement therapy are more likely to retain better skin quality compared to those who do not.
