Fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle tone, lowered libido, poor sleep, moodiness, mental fogginess, and decreased motivation can be associated with low hormones as we age.

“We optimize both reproductive and metabolic hormones in men and women who can experience more energy, better sleep, improved libido and sexual performance, mental clarity, fat reduction and weight loss, increase in muscle mass, and have less aches and pains,” Dr. Birken said.  “We individualize hormone optimization since every person has a unique metabolism, physiology, and lifestyle.”

Non-surgical contouring treatment, CoolSculpting®, freezes fat which is naturally eliminated from your body.  No needles, no special diets, no supplements, no surgery.  And most importantly, no downtime.

CoolSculpting® is the most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician who specializes in age management medicine and bioidentical hormones, now offers cyrolipolysis for permanent fat reduction.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime.  Patients often spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective.­­ Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months.

Dr. Birken is a board certified physician and Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.  He has done post graduate training with the American College for The Advancement of Medicine, Worldlink Health, Age Management Medicine Group, Cenegenics Medical Institute, National Society of Cosmetic Physicians, and the Grossman Wellness Clinic.  He has offices in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  He is the medical director for Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands.

“Coolsculpting is a unique technique to permanently reduce about 25% of treated areas,” Dr. Birken said.  “Its simple and virtually painless.  The results are very impressive.”

CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.   You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Why do we gain weight and become fatigued as we age?

“HCG along with metabolic hormone enhancement and other metabolic optimizers can help with fat loss and increasing muscle tone, the key factor for successful weight reduction.”

Although age can cause weight gain, loss of muscle tone, fatigue, poor sleep, reduced libido, moodiness, mental fog, more aches and pains, and lower motivation, younger men and women may experience the same symptoms as well.

“I used to see middle-aged to older patients with lower hormone levels with these complaints,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician, said.  “But now we see younger individuals as well, especially women on hormonal contraceptives and men who are have poor nutrition.”

“Patients experience significant reduction in quality of life, vitality, and sense of well being when hormone levels are not optimal,” Dr. Birken continued.  “By elevating  hormones with bioidentical hormones, either as compounded capsules, creams, injections, or pellets, patients regain energy, sleep better, lose weight, heightened libido and sexual performance, improved mental clarity, increase in strength and physical endurance, and are happier overall. While the changes can be dramatic, its important to individualized hormone dosages since each patient has their own physiology and metabolism.”

Dr. Birken offers the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy for consistent and balanced hormone delivery over several months.

What will the results be?

Many patients are satisfied after one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.

What happens during the treatment?

To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.

Can I return to normal activities after the procedure?

CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.

When will I see results?

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment.

Are the results permanent?

During CoolSculpting, the treated fat cells are eliminated. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable.
