Hormone therapy and testing

Do you feel that your body no longer responds as it once did – no matter how much effort you put in?
Do you wake up feeling tired
, with no clear reason?
Are you noticing changes in your skin – loss of radiance, elasticity, sudden breakouts, or dryness?
Do you feel that your energy, mood, and concentration “fluctuate” beyond your control?

If any of this resonates with you, it is very likely that the cause is not simply fatigue – but a hormonal imbalance that is affecting your entire system.


Treatment overview
Hormone therapy represents a medically guided and precisely individualised approach to restoring hormonal balance – the regulator of virtually all key functions in the body: energy, sleep, metabolism, mood, and skin quality.

In the context of Longevity and Wellbeing, hormones are the foundation upon which long-term vitality is built.

Facts that patients often don’t know:

  • From as early as your 30s, certain hormones begin to decline gradually – even in perfectly healthy individuals
  • Oestrogen directly influences collagen production – its decline means thinner, drier skin
  • Cortisol (the stress hormone) can block regeneration and accelerate skin ageing
  • Hormonal imbalance often manifests in the skin before it appears in laboratory results

It is therefore not uncommon for patients to present with:

  • “unexplained” acne in adulthood
  • accelerated skin ageing
  • loss of volume and radiance
  • chronic exhaustion

Hormone therapy does not address just one symptom – it restores the body to a state of functional balance.


How is the treatment performed?
The process begins with a detailed consultation and analysis of:

  • lifestyle
  • symptoms
  • laboratory results

On the basis of this, an individualised plan is developed that may include:

  • bioidentical hormone therapy
  • lifestyle modifications
  • additional support through IV vitamin infusions
  • acupuncture

Therapy is carried out gradually and with regular follow-up appointments – with the aim of achieving a stable and safe outcome.


Who is the treatment for?

  • women in perimenopause and menopause
  • men experiencing declining energy and concentration (andropause)
  • individuals with chronic fatigue and exhaustion
  • patients with hormonally driven acne
  • those wishing to optimise their energy, sleep, and skin appearance
  • anyone committed to long-term investment in Longevity

Good to know
The skin is one of the most sensitive indicators of hormonal status – it will often be the first to “signal” an imbalance, before you are even consciously aware of it.


Suggested treatments (for women and men aged 30–65+, with an active and demanding lifestyle, seeking stable energy, mental clarity, and healthy skin)

  • hormone therapy
  • IV vitamin infusions
  • acupuncture
  • dermatological treatments

When are the results of the therapy seen and felt?

  • improved energy and sleep quality within 1–2 weeks
  • mood stabilisation over the course of several weeks
  • visible changes in the skin within 3–6 weeks
  • long-term stability with ongoing monitoring

Ideal moments to begin therapy

  • a feeling of burnout and exhaustion
  • hormonal changes (perimenopause, menopause, andropause)
  • sudden changes in the skin
  • declining energy and concentration
  • a feeling that your body can no longer keep pace with your lifestyle

Preparing for the treatment

  • bring any existing test results and medical documentation
  • arrange hormonal laboratory analyses in advance if needed
  • inform us of any allergies and current medications
  • a light meal and good hydration beforehand are recommended

Recovery and precautions

  • therapy is carried out exclusively following a physician’s assessment
  • hormone therapy is entirely individualised
  • regular monitoring and follow-up are required
  • self-administering hormones without medical supervision can be harmful

Our approach
Within our Longevity department, a physician with specialist expertise in hormonal balance and functional medicine leads every case.

We do not simply treat hormones – we treat the whole person.

We are guided by the principle: only healthy skin is truly beautiful skin – and that healthy skin cannot exist without inner balance.

That is why we frequently integrate therapy with infusions and acupuncture – to achieve what is most valuable today:
stable energy, a clear mind, and an appearance that reflects your inner state.

What truly sets us apart is a luxury that is rarely found – the time and attention we devote to every client.


The consequences of leaving it untreated
Hormonal imbalance does not plateau – it deepens over time:

  • chronic fatigue becomes a daily reality
  • skin rapidly loses its quality and elasticity
  • energy, motivation, and focus decline

Many patients describe a feeling of “no longer being themselves” – which affects their personal life, professional performance, and self-confidence. By seeking timely treatment, you are not only restoring hormonal balance – you are reclaiming control over your own body, energy, and appearance.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Here you’ll find answers to the questions our clients most often ask about our services and treatments.

    + Why are hormones so important for appearance, energy, and overall wellbeing?
    Hormones regulate virtually every process in the body – from energy, sleep, and mood to skin condition, hair, and metabolism. An imbalance often manifests through fatigue, weight changes, skin changes, and a sense of “lost vitality”.
    + What does the hormone testing process involve?
    The process begins with a detailed medical history and symptom analysis, followed by targeted laboratory analyses. It is precisely the combination of clinical insight and laboratory results that enables an accurate diagnosis.
    + What does hormone therapy include?
    Therapy is entirely individualised and may include hormone replacement, lifestyle modifications, supplementation, and other medically justified interventions.
    + When can I expect to see improvement?
    Initial changes are often noticeable relatively quickly, though stable and long-lasting results develop gradually as the body returns to balance.
    + Is hormone therapy safe?
    Yes – when carried out with thorough diagnostics and expert supervision. It is precisely the individualised approach that makes therapy both safe and effective.
    + How does hormonal balance affect the skin and ageing?
    Hormones directly influence collagen production, hydration, and skin elasticity. Achieving hormonal balance often means healthier, more radiant, and more resilient skin.
    + Why is hormone therapy the cornerstone of a Longevity approach?
    Because it does not merely address symptoms – it addresses the root cause, returning the body to an optimal state of function, which has a long-term impact on health, appearance, and quality of life.
