“Most hormone replacement includes synthetic estrogen and/or progestin replacement, but bioidentical are different,” Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics, said.

“I can check blood levels for estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as the metabolic hormones that effect weight and energy. When synthetic hormones failed, bioidentical may offer a good alternative.”

Labiaplasty, labial reduction surgery, and designer laser vaginoplasty – the same procedure?

“Cosmetic gynecology includes several procedures: labia minora reduction as well as reconstruction of the prepuce surrounding the clitoral area. While vaginal rejuvenation includes tightening the vaginal ligaments for support and improved sexual response, labiaplasty enhances vaginal appearance. Dr. David Matlock of Beverly Hills, California, performs designer laser vaginoplasty and has taught Dr. Randy Birken his unique surgical technique.

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist and medical director for Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands, Texas and both Dr. Matlock procedures: Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty.

What is cosmetic gynecology and the difference between labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, and vaginal rejuvenation?

Laser vaginal rejuvenation is vaginal tightening for looseness and decreased friction during intercourse – designer laser vaginoplasty is an aesthetic enhancement to the labia and clitoris.  Labiaplasty is for the appearance to the external genitalia, while vaginal rejuvenation is for pelvic reconstruction to the internal vaginal muscle and ligaments; both conditions result from childbirth and natural aging.

Dr. Birken is an uro-gynecologist and has been performing pelvic surgery for almost 30 years.  Dr. David Matlock, of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute, taught Dr. Birken theses techniques for cosmetic gynecology including Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty.

Dr. Birken is practices in The Woodlands, Texas

Bio-identical Hormones (BHRT) are an alternative to synthetic hormones for women who suffer from hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, reduced libido, and weight gain.

“BHRT are different,” says Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.  “With bioidentical hormones, a physician can look at blood levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, as well as the metabolic hormones.  Deficiencies are restored to an optimal level producing significant clinical improvement.”

While BHRT may not be safer than synthetic, intuitively they may be, since the body recognizes the molecule as biologically identical to natural hormone production.

“They may not be for every woman, but when traditional hormones don’t work, it’s a great alternative.”

HCG has been used to promote weight loss along with a low glycemic diet and an effective exercise program.

In 1954, a medical study showed that high levels of HCG during pregnancy regulated metabolic function and controlled metabolism.  HCG appears to affect the hypothalamus gland to optimize metabolic hormones, mobilizing fat storage.

The goal of HCG treatments is to reduce hunger and promote a better sense of well-being, allowing patients to remain on a low calorie diet.
