Hormonal Tests
A hormonal check in aesthetics evaluates biomakers like estrogen, testoterone, and thyroid hormones to optimize your skin health, colagen production, and treatment outcomes. Balancing these hormones helps manage stubborn acne, skin aging, and poor responses to cosmetic procedures, making them crucial for long-term aesthetic success.
Why Hormones Matter in Aesthetics
Hormones are vital chemical messengers that dictate skin thickness, elasticity, and hydration. For example:
Estrogen: Supports collagen synthesis and moisture retention. Declining levels during perimenopause cause dry, dull, and sagging skin.
Testosterone: Maintains skin vitality. Fluctuations can lead to adult acne or abnormal hair growth.
Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3, T4): Regulate your metabolism. An underactive thyroid can result in dull skin, hair thinning, and persistent weight gain.
Furthermore, having unbalanced hormones during your menstrual cycle can cause your skin to be more sensitive and prone to inflammation and bruising following aesthetic procedures (like injectables).
Key Tests in an Aesthetic Hormone Panel
Our medical team generally use a blood panel to check the following parameters:
FSH & LH: Assesses ovarian function and menopausal status.
Estrogen (Estradiol): Pinpoints skin dryness and anti-aging capacity.
Progesterone: Tracks ovulation and its impact on hormonal skin flare-ups.
Testosterone (Free and Total): Evaluates for signs of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which is often linked with persistent acne and skin changes.
TSH: Screens for thyroid-related skin and weight issues.
Cortisol: Measures your stress, which can heavily impact skin inflammation and breakouts.
