Laser Liposuction – Office Procedure in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

/in , , , /by

Is in-office liposuction better than traditional liposuction?

“There are several advantages,” Dr. Randy Birken said, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics.  “First, there’s no general anesthesia, making the procedure safe.  And secondly, the surgeon can do more fat sculpturing since the patient can turn and even stand, exposing areas of fat that may be missed when the patient is sleep.”

In-office liposuction is less costly as well, since there are no anesthesia or hospital facility fees.  Done with tumescent local anesthesia, the patient experiences no pain during the procedure and can even watch as fat is reduced and suctioned away.

“It really is the way to do liposuction today,” Dr. Birken says.  “More effective, safer, and less expensive.  The Awake laser liposuction, using tumescent anesthesia, is preferred by most patients.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified gynecologist and member of both the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons and the American Academy of Cosmetic Gynecologists.

HCG Injection and HCG Diet for Effective Weight Loss

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Losing weight can be difficult if not medically supervised.

“Hormones and the right type of medications are necessary along with proper diet and exercise to lose fat and keep it off,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician said.  “HCG can restore metabolism and allow patients to lose fat and not muscle mass.  That’s key to effective and sustained weight loss.”

Dr. Birken is a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and age management trained with the Cenegenics Medical Institute.

Patients become frustrated when they can’t lose weight in spite of eating clean and working out.  By restoring hormones to optimal levels, using safe and effective metabolic enhancements, and counseling on the correct diet and exercise regimen, patients can loss weight, and most importantly, keep it off.

HCG injection or hormone was researched in the early 1950’s and has been used effectively to promote fat reduction while maintaining muscle tone.

Bioidentical Hormones for Health, Wellness, and Vitality

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Why do many adults experience fatigue, poor sleep, moodiness, weight gain, decreased libido and sexual performance as well as reduced stamina and strength, loss of muscle tone/muscle mass, foggy mind, and less motivation?

“Hormones decline with age,” Dr. Randy Birken said.  “By restoring reproductive and metabolic hormones to optimal levels in both men and women, patients regain health, vitality, and most likely reduce their risk for age related diseases.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician as well as Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.  His offices are located in The Woodlands, Texas and Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Patients who take bioidentical hormones, either orally, creams, injections, or hormone pellets, regain their muscle tone, endurance, and motivation.  In addition to weight loss and clearer thinking, patients seem happier and have restored energy as well as focus.

“It is extraordinary to see these transformations,” Dr. Birken continued.  “Bioidential hormones, especially the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy, provide both these physical as well as mental changes.”

HCG For Physician Weight Loss in Houston and The Woodlands, Texas

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

While many pharmaceutical companies are investing time and money into weight loss research, there are few medications available today that promote better metabolism and fat reduction.

“I use a combine approach,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “By teaching effective exercise and proper diet, we utilized HCG and HCG diet along with appetite suppressants to enhance weight loss.”

HCG is a non-FDA approved, off label use of low dose pregnancy hormone that facilitates fat loss while promoting muscle mass.

“That is key,” Dr. Birken continued. “When patients diet, they lose both fat and muscle, a bad combination that leads to a “yo-yo” effect towards regaining weight.  But when you lose body fat and increase muscle mass, then your physiology changes and the weight stays off.”

HCG injections have minimal side effects and stimulate hormonal changes that create a safe, healthy, and natural weight loss.

“It’s nice to see patients have success,” Dr. Birken said.  “For many, it has been years of poor weight loss results.  Now their losing weight, looking good, have increased self-esteem, and more motivation to reach their goal.”

In Office Laser Liposuction in Houston and The Woodlands Texas

/in , , , /by

Liposuction is usually done under a general anesthetic. But some physicians perform the procedure with laser and while the patient is awake in an office setting.

“By using the tumescent anesthetic technique, the patient is awake and recovers quicker, ” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified physician said.  “Not only is it an easier procedure on the patient, but we can sculpture the fat better by having the patient turn and even standup.”

Dr. Birken uses laser to help improve healing and skin tightening.

“Fat has to be suctioned thoroughly,” Dr. Birken continued.  “But the laser adds a nice touch to the results.”

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Much controversy surrounds hormones – increase in heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

“Not true,” Dr. Randy Birken said. “Bioidentical hormones are not synthetic and are unfortunately grouped with these other hormones. They are a natural hormone alternative.”

Dr. Birken is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician as well as Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine.  He has been in practice for over 30 years and has specialized in age management or anti-aging medicine for over 10 years.

“Most patients who experience fatigue, poor sleep, decreased libido and sexual performance, foggy mind, weight gain, aches and pains, loss of muscle tone, and mood disorders find hormone restoration very positive,” Dr. Birken continued.  “There is usually an increase in overall vitality, wellness, mood, and fat reduction.  The transformations are sometimes astonishing.”

Bioidentical hormones can be given in many ways – orally, as creams or gels, injections, or with the SottoPelle® method of hormone pellet therapy.  Each patient is individually evaluated with a specific customized regimen.

“At look at each patient differently,” Dr. Birken said.  “Everyone has a unique physiology and metabolism and not one size fits all.”
