Everybody is asking about Growth Hormone and its use. As we age all our hormones decline such as Growth Hormone, testosterone, DHEA, estrogens and progesterone. The theory behind is that replacing the deficiencies and keep them under physiologic dosages (the amount that a normal people might produce), not using HIGH DOSAGES.The symptoms of growth hormone deficiency might produce in adults: lack of inner peace, chronic anxiety, tendency to be depressed, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, great difficulty in performing multiple tasks, feeling powerless, lack of concentration, excessive emotional reactions, tendency to social isolation, poor social integration, poor tolerance to stress, poor quality of life, exhaustion with poor recovery, cold intolerance, light sleep, poor apetite for meat.Growth hormone might help you to recover after exercise. But remember exercise will release your growth hormone as well. However intense exercise such as training for a marathon, might lower all your hormones as well. Growth hormone hasn’t showed improvement in athletic performance.Before any treatment with any hormone, the patient will need an appropiate evaluation. At eternamd we provide state of the art evaluation that includes blood test, 24 hour urine collection, DNA test. Also a comprehensive 60 page history.Call eternamd for our age management consultation with Carlos Mercado, MD at 407-771-0404 or go to our webpage www.eternamd.com to check our program.

There is a solution now for those people who sweat underarms or armpits. Many people feel embarazed by the sweating sensation especially if they have to work on positions such as for the public such as waitresses, bartenders, or any employement that has to do with the public.At eternamd we use a combination treatment using BOTOX combined with LASER HAIR REMOVAL.

We might use progesterone, estrogen, growth hormone, testosterone, DHEA and others depending on the deficiency. Many symptoms of hormones overlap so it is important to match the symptoms with the laboratory tests.Make sure you have a proper evaluation, by a physician that has been trained in hormone modulation.Call for a consultation at 407-771-0404 or go to www.eternamd.com

The question is how to chose a medspa: There are common questions to ask before going to treatment to a medspa.1- MEDSPA: It means MEDICAL SPA. In reality the name should be “AESTHETIC CLINIC”. This is the name being used in Europe and South America. In other words it is a medical facility. Remember the procedures needs to be done under aseptic measures.2- RUN BY DOCTORS: A medical spa needs to be run by doctors. There is a bill that applies to supervision of medical spas. In reality all procedures should be done by medical doctors including laser hair removal. Ask how many years of experience the doctor has been doing botox, fillers or other aesthetic procedures.3- MAKE sure the facility you chose is dedicated fully to aesthetics. Some doctors have the medspa on the side, while they perform their traditional practice, such as family practice or internal medicine. Ideally your doctor has to be dedicated in that facility to do aesthetic procedures.4- Chose a medspa that provides good customer service, provide educational seminars, has aesthetician dedicated to teaching as well.5- Most of the services are not covered by insurances. However an exemplary medical spa should offer both: AGE MANAGEMENT and AESTHETIC procedures. For example at ETERNAMD, we provide both. Our doctors has been trained in the USA as well as in Europe and South America.6- A complete medical spa should provide full services such as BODY SCULPTING using therapies such as mesotherapy, lipodisolve, laser remodeling, fat treatment, face recosntruction with fillers , botox and resurfacing laser. Also acne evaluation and treatment such as using the blue-U light and Aminolevulinic acid as other alternatives.Cellulite evaluation and treatment should be offered.At ETERNAMD, which is a comprehensive medical spa, treat patients “INSIDE” and “OUTSIDE”, using Hormone modulation with bio-identical hormones, exercise and diet as well as aesthetic procedures.
