70% of men on chronic opioid therapy are testosterone deficient.

Read that again.

Chronic opioid use can suppress the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis, contributing to opioid induced androgen deficiency. And what can low testosterone contribute to? Fatigue, loss of muscle mass and strength, impaired recovery, mood changes, sexual dysfunction, reduced bone density, and potentially increased pain sensitivity.

In other words, some of the consequences of the medication we are using to manage chronic pain may actually contribute to problems that make chronic pain harder to manage.

If you’re treating chronic pain and never evaluating hormones, you may be missing an important piece of the puzzle.

And if you don’t believe hormone optimization belongs in a comprehensive chronic pain management program, it might be time to take a class in TRT.

Everything is bigger in Texas… including the lips.

This patient came to me from Texas wanting a softer, more natural look that felt more like her. We dissolved her previous lip filler and started fresh, rebuilding her lips with a more natural technique focused on shape, definition, and proportion. We also added subtle midface filler to restore support and create better overall facial balance.

Sometimes the best transformation isn’t about adding more. It’s about knowing when to reset and rebuild.

Zoom in to see the difference up close.

UNDEREYE REFRESH

There comes a point when concealer just can’t keep up.

As we age, we naturally lose volume in the deeper fat pads that support the undereye. That loss can create hollows and shadows that make the eyes look dark or tired, even when you’re well rested.

By strategically replacing lost volume with hyaluronic acid filler in anatomically appropriate areas, we can restore support from the inside out rather than simply trying to cover the shadow on the surface.

I like to think of it as makeup from the inside out: less shadow, a more rested appearance, and a lower-maintenance routine. And if you still love your concealer? It tends to work a whole lot better when it isn’t trying to camouflage a structural hollow.

The goal isn’t to change your face. It’s to restore what time has gradually taken away and help you look like a refreshed version of yourself.

Gone are the days of the Wild West of hormone replacement therapy. Enter the age of thoughtful, expert-led hormone optimization.

Hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all and neither is the way it’s delivered. Whether it is Biote pellets, creams, gels, sprays, patches, rings, injections… we have options, because the best choice is the one that fits YOU.

At Aesthetique, our team is specifically trained in menopause and hormone replacement therapy, with OB-GYN physician oversight. We take a comprehensive approach: listening to your symptoms, reviewing your labs, understanding your goals, and creating an individualized treatment plan.

Our goal isn’t simply “more hormones.” It’s thoughtful optimization, helping you feel like yourself again while avoiding unnecessary supraphysiologic peaks and swings that can contribute to unwanted side effects.

Different bodies. Different symptoms. Different delivery methods.

Expert-driven care. Personalized to you. Call or text 970-717-0393 to book your consultation. Labs collected at Aesthetique by local Grand County providers. No traveling for your labs!

Education Saturday:

Erectile dysfunction can be the canary in the coal mine for heart disease.

ED isn’t always just a sexual health issue. It can be an early sign of underlying vascular and metabolic disease.

Diabetes, insulin resistance and metabolic disease, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, obesity, and sleep apnea can all contribute to erectile dysfunction — and many of these same conditions significantly increase cardiovascular risk.

Because the arteries supplying the genitalia are smaller than the coronary arteries, problems with blood flow may sometimes show up as erectile dysfunction before more obvious signs of cardiovascular disease appear.

So if you’re seeking treatment for ED, don’t stop at treating the symptom.

Consider being screened for:

• Blood pressure
• Diabetes and insulin resistance
• Cholesterol and triglycerides
• Metabolic health
• Sleep apnea
• Overall cardiovascular risk

Your erectile health can tell us something about your overall health.

Sometimes ED is the warning sign that gives us an opportunity to intervene earlier.

Full facial rejuvenation doesn’t have to happen all at once.

This patient first came to us in 2023. Since then, we’ve made small, thoughtful changes over time with one goal in mind: never changing the way she looks, but helping her continue to look like the healthiest, most rested version of herself as she naturally ages.

Our approach to facial rejuvenation is built around four pillars:

1. Medical-grade skincare
Daily skincare to improve and maintain skin health, texture, tone, and overall quality.
2. Conservative neuromodulator
Mindfully placed Botox or Dysport to soften expression lines while preserving natural movement.
3. Thoughtful facial volume restoration
Small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler, placed anatomically to restore support rather than simply add volume. Over time, we treated her midface, chin, chin shadows, lips, smile lines, and under-eye area, always conservatively.

We also addressed her breakouts from the inside out by helping balance her hormones, because healthy skin isn’t only about what we put on the outside.

4. Collagen + elastin building
Microneedling treatments to continually improve skin quality and support the skin as it ages.

The biggest takeaway? You don’t have to do everything at once.

Facial rejuvenation can be a slow, intentional process. Treatments can be spaced out over months or even years, making them more manageable financially while allowing the results to build gradually and naturally.

The goal isn’t to look “done.”

It’s to look healthy, rested, natural, and still completely like yourself. Just the version of yourself you feel most confident in.

And a huge thank you to all of my patients who are willing to share their photos. By allowing us to share your results, you’re helping so many other people understand what these treatments can actually do and what natural, thoughtful rejuvenation can look like over time. I’m incredibly grateful for your trust.
