Tired of under-eyes that look tired?

PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) is a regenerative treatment designed to support your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, helping improve the appearance and quality of the delicate skin under the eyes over time.

Unlike traditional filler, which adds volume, PDGF works by supporting your skin’s own regenerative processes - making it an option for patients looking for a more natural approach to under-eye rejuvenation.

Results can continue to develop over time and may last 6–12 months or longer, depending on the individual.

Hormone therapy isn't one-size-fits-all and 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱.

At CHS Hormone, treatment is 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 based on your symptoms, lab results, health history, lifestyle and preferences.

Hormone therapy may be delivered in several different forms, including creams, patches, oral medications, pellets, injections and vaginal estrogen.

𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻?

For some patients, pellet therapy may be a good option because it offers long-lasting hormone delivery without the need to remember a daily cream, pill or patch. Dosing is individualized, and pellets typically provide hormone delivery over several months before another treatment is needed.

But pellets are one option - not the only option.

Our goal is to help you understand the choices available and work with you to determine an approach that makes sense for your body, your lifestyle and your goals.

Hello and Happy 2026 from the Practitioners at CHS 💖

As we embark on a new year.. this is your reminder to prioritize your health appointments for the year. Routine health screenings save lives—and they’re a cornerstone of proactive, preventive care.

Mammograms and Pap smears help detect breast and cervical changes early. PSA lab checks can identify prostate concerns before symptoms appear. Bone density testing helps assess fracture risk and detect osteoporosis early. Colorectal screenings such as Cologuard® and colonoscopy play a critical role in identifying colon cancer and precancerous changes.

These tests aren’t just recommendations—they’re powerful tools for early detection, risk reduction, and long-term health.

Have questions about which screenings are right for you? Ask CHS Hormone.
If you’re an established patient and would like us to order any of these screening tests for you, please contact our office—we’re happy to help guide you every step of the way. 📝

💔 Stop Ignoring Your High Blood Pressure! 💔
It’s called the “silent killer” for a reason—most people feel fine while it’s quietly damaging the heart, brain, and kidneys.

⚠️ Common Excuses We Hear:
🗣️ “It’s just stress or I was rushing over here”
➡️ Stress can raise BP, but chronic hypertension doesn’t go away when stress does.

🗣️ “I have white coat syndrome or it was fine at the P*P last week “
➡️ Even occasional spikes can signal risk. Home monitoring often reveals the truth.

🗣️ “I feel fine, it must be your cuff”
➡️ High BP rarely causes symptoms until it’s dangerously high or causes a heart attack/stroke.

🗣️ “It runs in my family, so I am going to start eating better and let’s check it again next time”
➡️ Genetics play a role, but lifestyle changes may not be enough to lower your blood pressure.

💥 Why It Matters:

• #1 RISK for heart attack & stroke
• Damages the brain, raising dementia risk
• Wears down your kidneys
• Speeds up artery aging and enlarges your heart

✨ The Fix:
Lowering BP (even by 5–10 points) slashes heart and stroke risk (AHA research).
✅ Eat balanced
✅ Move daily
✅ Manage stress
✅ TAKE meds if prescribed

FYI… Estrogen helps maintain BP in women and Testosterone helps maintain BP in men (September Medscape Article 2025 : S*x Hormones Drive Pressure Regulation)

Also note that New ACC/AHH guidelines recommend early treatment and levels should be 130/80 or LESS

👉 Know Your Numbers. Check Often. Take Action.
Your heart & brain will thank you. 💪❤️
