SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND ANTI AGING
Our hormones play a critical role in the aging process and contribute to our overall sense of well-being. Many hormones become deficient or imbalanced as we age leading to sexual dysfunction, vaginal dryness, weight gain, hot flashes, depression, anxiety, fatigue, headaches, mental fog, and acne.
WHAT ARE BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES?
Bio-identical hormones are identical to the hormones produced in the human body. Tru essence uses bio-identical hormones to restore hormones back to their original levels.
MENOPAUSE AND PERI-MENOPAUSE
As women age, hormones become depleted or imbalanced leading to the classic symptoms of menopause. This process generally began around age 45. The most common hormones that become deficient are progesterone and testosterone, leaving an excess of estrogen.
SYMPTOMS OF ESTROGEN EXCESS AND PROGESTERONE DEFICIENCY
This imbalance causes a constellation of symptoms which include: breast tenderness, hot flashes, water retention, weight gain, changes in mood, depression, fatigue, anxiety, endometriosis, breast and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids.
WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE DEFICIENCY?
Testosterone deficiency can occur in both women and men with similar effects and has been linked to increase insulin resistance, increase or worsening of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and worsening of chronic pain.
Correcting testosterone deficiency improves libido and sexual function, bone density, muscle mass/fat ratio, glycemic control, memory, and cognition. It can also decrease BMI (body mass index), reduce osteoporosis, and reverse urogenital atrophy in women.
WHAT IS STRESS HORMONES AND METABOLISM (CORTISOL AND THYROID FUNCTION)?
Cortisol is a natural anti-inflammatory substance found in the body and is responsible for our “flight or fight” response. However, when cortisol is chronically under or overproduced, it can lead to increased insulin resistance leading to increased glucose levels, osteoporosis, increased waist circumference, water, and salt retention, depression, insomnia and decreased immune function leading to increased infections and food sensitivities.Hypothyroidism is often times misdiagnosed as depression or chronic fatigue and can cause weight gain, cold intolerance, sluggishness and low energy.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT BENEFITS?
Tru Essence uses bio-identical hormones to correct these hormonal imbalances. We will address and correct hormone levels as part of our anti-aging assessment and devise an individualized plan based on your needs using compounded hormonal creams and/or pellets and vaginal laser therapy.

PLASMA RICH PLATELET (PRP) & SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION
Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) is a treatment that is used in many different areas of the body restore and regenerate natural function. Your own plasma is used to heal aged and damaged tissues of the sex origin. The “orgasm system” is rejuvenated by stimulating stem cells found in the vaginal tissue. New blood vessel and sensory cells are formed to increase function and sensitivity. It improves sexual dysfunction for women suffering from vaginal dryness, decreases sensitivity, inability to orgasm, pain with sex, reduced sexual pleasure, and stress urinary incontinence. The procedure takes about 15 min with no downtime and results are seen within 1-3 weeks.
JOINT & TRIGGER POINT INJECTION
Joint and muscle pain is a very common cause of decreased activity in many individuals and most often occurs as a result of trauma, arthritis, or the aging process. The pain can be caused by inflammation or injury to the muscle, tendons, or ligaments. Additionally, different forms of arthritis such as osteoarthritis or autoimmune arthritis produce joint pain. Serial injections are placed in the joint or muscle providing lasting relief of pain and increase function.
Plasma rich platelets (PRP) is a procedure using your own blood and platelets, which are rich in growth factors, to help regenerate damaged structures in the joint, such as tendons, or in the muscle. Stem cells are often added to PRP to augment the healing and regeneration process. This treatment often times eliminates pain and improves function.
SPIDER/VARICOSE VEINS
SCLEROTHERAPY
Sclerotherapy treats varicose and spider veins and involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. The sclerotherapy solution injected causes the vein to scar, which forces blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue allowing it to fade.
After sclerotherapy, treated veins tend to disappear within a few weeks, although it may take a longer to see the full results. In some instances, multiple treatments may be needed.
BODYTITE
BODYtite is an amazing solution for individuals who are looking to reduce fat without the saggy, wrinkly skin. It also helps improve skin laxity after weight-loss or due to aging.
BODYtite is a minimally invasive procedure that shapes, contracts, and lifts without the scape or large scarring. You are left with surgical-like results without prolonged downtime!
Results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable after 6 months, and continuing up to 12 months.
