She is a physician and knows! I have been putting my estrodial cream on face and wow fast results! I am 63 been on estrodial patch low dose as well. New studies are crucial for your doctor to be up to date on. My doctor is informed and I am benefiting from that.
This was very helpful. I just got a script for vaginal estrogen. It was $20. My Dr also gave me a script for estriol .1% and this was $70. She said the vaginal estrogen will have the same effect so I went with the cheaper one. Just to let you all know. I also have been using the estrogen and tretinoin together but now I will separate them. That is a smart idea. Thank you
Could you tell us, do we need to see a Gynecologist or a Hormone Replacement Dr. to get these prescriptions? I'm 66. Been a while, lol. Please let us know?
@@KathleenBarrow-gh2ey I am 67 1/2 had an early menopause could not take HRT due to my sister‘s breast cancer twice! I wish I had because it was one hell of a long and still continues. Believe it or not menopause post menopause now I had to go night shift as a nurse because I looked ridiculous. I was always hot now I’m cold all the time because I lost so much body fat, and my skin is so thin due to lack of estrogen, I know all of this. I went to my gynecologist and he ordered it many years ago the vaginal cream and then I stopped. I’m back on it now. I had to ask my gynecologist because of my atrophic vaginitis that means that your skin thins out and it gets itchy down there and I could go on and on if you lose everything down there! Horrible. So I’m back on it for two months. I use it every other day instead of the little tiny bit she ordered because I had a pelvic ultrasound I asked for it to a pain in my side and I’m glad I did because it was a cyst on my ovary, but everything else was fine and the cyst was not suspicious for anything like to balance it out with progesterone however this is just a small amount that gets absorbed into your body. I just wish I could really have gone on HRT like my girlfriend who’s like 13 years old and she’s 67 as well I’m jealous of all of that, but I couldn’t do it, you have to ask your doctor for it or you can get it through a LLOY I’m voice texting but if you put those words together, you can order it after taking a brief test online. The cream cost just as much as CVS would cost so I’m getting my own $117 for three tubes. Again I do get pelvic ultrasound just to make sure now that that cyst doesn’t grow any larger and my uterus does not get thickened because there’s a delicate balance between all of this however we do only absorb a tiny amount of vaginal estrogen years ago when Retired ordered vaginal cream for me later, he said that should be also used with progesterone, but then he retired! Now studies have come out that is perfectly fine. Putting it on your face as the idea but this other doctor says you only absorb a tiny little bit it has to be compounded and that’s something completely different and I don’t know who would go to for that but I have a very conservative GYN right now. I’m into skincare. I have pretty good skin considering everything stopped at 46. Good luck don’t forget about a LLOY again voice texting just put that near the LL.
Yes Queen! Thank you! 🙏 I stopped taking birth control at 42 & it knocked me into menopause ! I thought it was the estrogen that was the problem but it’s the lack of!!! I’m a nurse! I should know more but there was zero education in school- even Dr’s say they got 4 hours of menopause education in their 4 year careers- god bless a community of women coming together!
@@stephaniesteed7653 Actually, now I use it, 1 pea sized drop nightly on face and neck 20 minutes before I put on my Retin A & it really makes a difference.
FYI before getting patch I would sometimes use estrogen cream at night on my face - I would sleep well and my hot flashes would stop, I would not pee or feel low - so the effect was systemic. I was curious to measure my levels in urine, using a home fertility monitor. My levels from regular 12-15 would jump to 100! with less than a pea sized amount. That happened each time I repeated the test. So, I suggest if you use E cream on your face add somewhere on your body also progesterone balance it 😘
She probably used systemic vaginal cream, not local vaginal cream. Local does not raise estrogen levels in blood, no matter where you use it. And only blood test is reliable, noone uses saliva or urine testing
@@shar7508It absolutely is! I did BHRT about 18 months in my late 40s and I got to where every time it was time for the estrogen I felt so bad. I was fine on progesterone and testosterone but the estrogen was making me sick! Listen to YOUR body!!
Food which consists of phytoestrogens, vit D3 and selenium from Brazil nuts that will help in the natural way of keeping good hormones level. A good diet is key. The best absorption for Selenium is in the morning. Acupuncture will help as well. Proper massage for underbelly and limfatic nodules in this area will help produce your own estrogen.
Yeah, IMA bit cagey with taking topical or any estrogen as I'm 55yrs but not in menopause (periods still 4-6 weeks so irregular). I'm on carnivor for 3 months after getting tired of Keto products I feel into the trap of. So zero additives pretty much except electrolytes. Only salt meat (black tea and coffee though) and cream and hard cheese. Feel great. Natural is best.
Hello Dr. Azi! So appreciate this video! Since I go to both types of doctors who should I ask about getting a prescription from Endocrinologist or Dermatologist? Thank you 🙏 Have a day as beautiful as you 🌟
I've been using vaginal estradiol and I no longer have vaginal atrophy and my pelvic floor is strong!! Im going to start using this cream tonight on my face/eyes ❤ I don't want to do botox anymore. I do my own at home TCA/Glycolic peels, yes I've been doing them for 2 years and it has gotten rid of a lot of my crepe skin on my face and my body. I also use a body retinol a few times a week before bed. For me, it's all paying off, and I definitely don't look 56 ❤
😅Hi Doctor I loved your information regarding estrogen for the face. What is the alternative estrogen you mentioned and where can I purchase it. Would love to try it as I’m afraid to use the authentic estradiol on my face as I’m a breast cancer survivor and afraid of real estrogen. Thank you so much.
It's true that the skin start to age super fast at some point. In my case, at 47 years old, I started to see a visible thining of my skin and from 49 years old, I saw big changes arriving very fast. I am 51 now. I still look young, but, it's concerning ;) :P extremely hard morally to start to look old :P
Hello thank u for your videos! Health over Beauty, I agree our Empowerment is crucial for all, womens well being! Helping our growth is a ''daily must''!
As someone who has used Progesterone cream to get my periods back from not having it for years whilst super young, I am a bit sceptical to apply HRT onto any exposed skin cos it does and will affect our hormone balance, as those creams made topical contact can even affect our pets and make counterparts. I would love to try this out but knowing how strong these creams are, I probably would not test it out
Look into PRF ovarian and uterine regeneration injections. Stimulates your body to make its own estrogen, and has been show to induce periods in years long, post menopausal women.
Vaginal estrogen cream is not considered HRT as they amount over the skin is considered minimal. You shouldn't let your pet lick or face when you have the cream on, of course.
Thank you for such an informative video! Question: I am taking 1mg of Estradiol orally as part of my HRT. Can I apply Estradiol cream while taking the oral Estradiol, or is that Estrogen overload?
@@sharonjoan9997 Thank you. I have heard about using the patch to bypass the liver also. As for. Progesterone, my Dr as well as my Hormone specialist have agreed that I don't need P because I don't have a uterus. And I function fine without it.
@@sharonjoan9997 You only need progesterone if you still have an uterus. A significant large number of women do not have uterus anymore, so I think that's important to mention.
@@Coffee_is_ready All your life you have an healthy balance of oestrogen and progesterone and that is not only to protect your uterus. Think pre-menopause around 40 when your progesterone is declining but you still have oestrogen, a nightmare. I don't have a uterus but I add a pea size of bio identical progesterone in the evening to balance Hrt.
Can you say a little more about broken capillaries please. I've been using estriol cream on my face for 1 year, but I keep bruising. Could there be a connection? I am also on HRT Thank you
Thank you for this!! I have a small bit of melasma on upper cheeks! I’ve lightened it a lot! But have lots of sun spots now- what treatment am I doing to rid of sun spots that won’t darken the melasma too much? I know IPL unfortunately is a no go right?
I had it really bad! I use Timeless C serum 20%, their Matrixyl and their B5 and it’s barely noticeable now. I’m 60 and still no crows feet, mouth wrinkles or major issues. I don’t use retinol, but probably should return to it. I just got so tired of the flaking skin all the time. I have microneedled for 16 years.
Ooh yes I do all of these things!!;) My skin looks really good and I have an awesome skincare regimen- I was juts wondering what laser to look at etc.. I am going to do a few of gentle Clear & Brilliant.. A dermatologist recommended that!! Just want to rid of some sun spots from our last few years of boating :)
Hi , thanks for . I used vaginal estrogen cream on my face a few years back and it wrecked my skin. You're the only person who pointed out that somebody like me who has broken capillaries , pigment, etc, can be made worse. I'd love to use it on my severely aging skin but I can't..
Collegan peptides now have scientific backing. Eating enough vitamin c is also good. Bone broth is the best form of collagen. But thet make collagen drinks and supplements too.
Hello @kk, may I ask if your capillaries healed after some time or do they still appear broken? (I want to try estrogen cream, but I do have sensitive skin and worry a bit about the possibility of broken capillaries and making the appearance of dark spots worse.) Thank you
@danastrange Hi no they're still broken and I've now got post traumatic hyper pigmentation ... It may be as someone said an intolerance to the other ingredients in my ovestin estrogen cream .
I am using the compounded estradiol/estriol/pregnenolone cream daily on forearm and thigh. Pharmacist who is managing the compounding has said I can use a dab in my morning face routine. My question is, has anyone noticed improvement using directly under eyes? Over time skin there has become crepey and thin making my concealer look awful. Anyone have experience with this and did it help improve this area? If so, how long before you saw some improvement?
I've been using just my estriol cream under my eyes for about 8 months now. I noticed an improvement in the skin after about a month of use. I would not go without it now.
So if we're POSTmenapausal, can we still use it? I went through menopause all by myself because compound therapy was in the $400+ per month back when I was perimenopause at a brick and mortar store. I walked away, but now, in my 60s, I see my skin changing fast. Is it too late? Also, I'm trying to figure out how to only use a pea sized amount, but also put on your hands and chest. 🤔 A pea is small.
No, it should be a pea sized amount over the WHOLE face area, not per area. I use tretinoin and Dr Azi’s recommendation for Estradiol is the same as I use for tretinoin and you do not want to be using more than a piece size amount of tretinoin spread over the entire face. It takes a little practice, but I squeeze a pea size onto my finger and just dab little spots all over my face first and then start rubbing the cream in. A little goes a long way.
@riawinchester5569 // That makes sense. Just put a pea sized on your finger and dot on different areas of your skin, then just rub it in. Extremely helpful. Thank you. Do you use your tret at the same time or one night tret and the other estradiol? In other words, do you alternate or use one after the other?
Thank you for this wonderful info. I have been trying to use good old generic estradiol vaginal cream on my face but it is SO drying. Can I mix it with a moisturizer or is it better to apply moisturizer after? Thank you so much! 🩷
Check the research on the levels of actual progesterone (bioavailability) from yams. Also, I haven't heard about any benefit to progesterone on the skin. Has it been studied?
Ok so if we use too much topically then we could have a systemic effect. But does it work the other way around too? I’m about to start HRT, does taking that also give a benefit to skin?
How do you get a prescription for it to use on your skin? I don't think my primary or my dermatologist will prescribe it because it is "off label use."
I use it three times a week vaginally and will start applying a little bit in with my drunk elephant very good skin barrier cream called La La retro it’s very heavy, but it’s really good. It’s an excellent source of lipids for our skin even though I might be dried up down below, and my skin is thin elsewhere, my skin has held up on my face and people think I’m a hell of a lot younger thank God for good skin care! I would use it every day because they say the estradiol vaginal cream is very minimal absorption. That’s been said by this other doctor, I forget her name, but she’s on TH-cam And it’s probably all over the information. I just worry I might break out from it. I don’t break out from anything, but I think I might break out from something like this because it looks like it might have petroleum type ingredient in it. I have to go look at the tube, but I’ll give it a try. Don’t forget to use a gentle peel pad so that you’ll get absorption! I use lactic acid peel, which is so gentle and I use it every other day or I’ll use a glycolic peel pad every other day they’re not strong, the ones I use but enough to exfoliate. And of course, a good retinol at night at another thing I find that as important and that’s from drunk elephant Passioni but there are so many other brands out there. It’s incredible. Good luck to all of us women!
Where can you get this compound estrogen? I want it but only have the vaginal cream I use internally…will try this on my face but compounding creams are better. I just saw a doctor. I forget her name, an older woman who went into detail about this, but how the hell do we get it right? ol!
It depends on the degree of melanin in your skin, but some darker skin tones can be treated with the right settings. For more on lasers for dark skin, check out my TH-cam video on lasers for dark skin.
High intensity interval training through Swimming or running or Cycling twice a week ,is known to increase HCG the human growth Hormone, that naturally will increase estradiol levels ,acting through the adrenal glands which also produces estrogen, so exercising at high intensity especially HIIT or High intensity interval training naturally increases estrogen .estrogen skin or vaginal creams in all forms increase risk of breast cancer by 30 percent .I am a doctor .
Would you be able to give more info or a name of estrogen analogues? You're fine using your hands to talk. I'm Italian and used to it. Great video. I subscribed.
I got a script for Premarin vaginal cream and put it on my face + neck but it dried my skin so bad and made the lines on my face even worse unfortunately. Wondering if this particular compound shouldn’t be used on the face …
I just started this, but I hate the smell. I checked and there's no fragrance on the Pfizer ingredient list, but it smells like roses to me (which I dislike). Does equine estrogen smell like roses (lol, sort of)?
What about the risk of breast cancer , won't this application to the face cause a systemic effect? Can I use Estriol cream? That is the one my GP has prescribed for my dry bits under.
I use vagifem, a suppository. My doctor said the amount of estrogen in each suppository is so minimal. It would be like taking one birth control pill every two years. 🤷🏼♀️
Wait? You got it from a General Practitioner? My doctor knew nothing about it so he wouldn't help me get it. Do you think he'd want to Google it and educate himself for many many patients. But no.
The Vaginal Estrogen Cream is even safe for Breast Cancer Patients.Dr Sheila da Liz, the author of Women on fire, stated this.She wrote this book and its an absolute Bestseller in Germany.
I want to see before and after results from an older woman who has menopause face. These young women who are not in menopause & have young skin don't convince me of results.
I am in sixties ifind skin loosening in neck area,my hands it is getting thin.what shiuld i use .I am also experiencing melasma on my face Please suggest
I wish you would mention estrogen positive breast cancer. 1 out 5 women will have breast cancer and these cancer cells "feed" on estrogen. Losing your fertility after fifty is a natural aging process, not a disease. Many issues derived from the loss of estrogen can be dealt with by adapting a healty diet, weight training, meditation and maintaining strong pelvic and core muscles. Hormone balance is a very delicate matter.
This is outdated information. Some of it may pertain but not all. Dr Mary Claire is a good resource to find out about the latest research on menopause .
You couldn’t be more wrong about BHRT and cancer. Old women in menopause with low estrogen get bc not young women with high estrogen and pregnant women. Diet will never ever ever replace lost estradiol. Enjoy your osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease all which come from low estrogen after menopause. A clean healthy diet won’t prevent these diseases either
@rainiewhitney8089 I am just wondering which issues pertain, is it the cancer issue? Also, there is a warning on the packaging. It may increase the risk of blood clots. So, if you are having any type of surgery, you need to be aware of that, so much information that we do not know.
No thank you! It’s not a good thing. Finally we decreased cancer especially breast and ovarian as well cervical cancers and some skin cancers due to lowering of estrogen why would we increase it again by putting estrogen in our body. Yes it can help slightly with ppl that get severe mood swings during this change but it’s no different then what we had during pms but I’d rather live and use natural remedies!!!
If the cream is applied to the vagina it will not travel through the blood stream. Oral or the patch will travel and give you the benefits of estrogen like strong bones, less cardiovascular risk, and other benefits
Be aware that estrogen can cause blod clots, among other things. Look at your family history and talk with a doctor about this, then weigh the risk with the information you have obtained.
It’s a kind of duh, if it’s a cream than is supposed to on the skin elsewhere on the body, does it matter where? 😅 Also, some thoughts of vaginal estrogen cream: if you’re guy do u really want to go there? Seems like a castration chamber to me 🤔
I find it to be insanely ungrateful to criticize another creature for something as ridiculous as this, what EXACTLY is your problem, this is free education about your health, why in the world can you not just be in a state of gratitude for gifts you receive free????

So if we're POSTmenapausal, can we still use it? I went through menopause all by myself because compound therapy was in the $400+ per month back when I was perimenopause at a brick and mortar store. I walked away, but now, in my 60s, I see my skin changing fast. Is it too late? Also, I'm trying to figure out how to only use a pea sized amount, but also put on your hands and chest. 🤔 A pea is small.
pea sized amount per area
Following
No, it should be a pea sized amount over the WHOLE face area, not per area. I use tretinoin and Dr Azi’s recommendation for Estradiol is the same as I use for tretinoin and you do not want to be using more than a piece size amount of tretinoin spread over the entire face. It takes a little practice, but I squeeze a pea size onto my finger and just dab little spots all over my face first and then start rubbing the cream in. A little goes a long way.
@riawinchester5569 // That makes sense. Just put a pea sized on your finger and dot on different areas of your skin, then just rub it in. Extremely helpful. Thank you. Do you use your tret at the same time or one night tret and the other estradiol? In other words, do you alternate or use one after the other?
@@riawinchester5569just curious what happens if you put more than a pea amount on your face???
Dr. Azi
Can I apply Retinol cream after having applied estrogen cream on my face and if so how long should I wait to apply Retinol?
Why do you need to apply it in two stages? Can you not just incorporate with nightly skincare at the same time?
I just started using vafinal estradiol on my face. Which goes on first, water based serums or estradiol cream?
Hi Dr Azi, can you use 1%Estriol diluted with moisturizer?
Yes, she mentioned this.
Thank you very informative
Thank you for this wonderful info. I have been trying to use good old generic estradiol vaginal cream on my face but it is SO drying. Can I mix it with a moisturizer or is it better to apply moisturizer after? Thank you so much! 🩷
yes you can
i am apllying estriol vaginal cream all over my skin for 2 years now, it is perfect
Thanks for sharing
Very informative thank you
Very informative! What about Estrone? That's what is available to me in Canada.
Estrone is the weakest form most common in pregnancy. Ideally estriol or estradiol creams are best for skin application
I live in Canada and both estriol and estradiol are available here.
@@canadianalien370 Yes those are available in Canada but not every doctor is willing to prescribe those.
My provider gave me Premarin Cream, not generic estrace (estradiol cream), which one is better for the face?
Can you tell me if this helps for lichen sclerosus?
It’s best to ask your doctor as there’s not a lot of data on this
What about using progesterone cream all over the face (bio identical from yam)?
Check the research on the levels of actual progesterone (bioavailability) from yams. Also, I haven't heard about any benefit to progesterone on the skin. Has it been studied?
Could this worsen melasma? Or is it safe to use if you have melasma.
It’s possible
@@SkinByDrAzi thank you for answering Dr Azi! I really appreciate you:)
Ok so if we use too much topically then we could have a systemic effect. But does it work the other way around too? I’m about to start HRT, does taking that also give a benefit to skin?
How do you get a prescription for it to use on your skin? I don't think my primary or my dermatologist will prescribe it because it is "off label use."
you dont tell the doc.
It’s typically something you would discuss with your doctor and get a prescription from. Happy to do a photo consult.

Thank you. I'll try my doc first and see what he says.
Do you have to use it on your face day? I only use it vaginally twice a week.
I was wondering the same thing and use like you do.
It's a vaginal cream but it can be used on the face. There are many you tube videos on this.
I use it three times a week vaginally and will start applying a little bit in with my drunk elephant very good skin barrier cream called La La retro it’s very heavy, but it’s really good. It’s an excellent source of lipids for our skin even though I might be dried up down below, and my skin is thin elsewhere, my skin has held up on my face and people think I’m a hell of a lot younger thank God for good skin care! I would use it every day because they say the estradiol vaginal cream is very minimal absorption. That’s been said by this other doctor, I forget her name, but she’s on TH-cam And it’s probably all over the information. I just worry I might break out from it. I don’t break out from anything, but I think I might break out from something like this because it looks like it might have petroleum type ingredient in it. I have to go look at the tube, but I’ll give it a try. Don’t forget to use a gentle peel pad so that you’ll get absorption! I use lactic acid peel, which is so gentle and I use it every other day or I’ll use a glycolic peel pad every other day they’re not strong, the ones I use but enough to exfoliate. And of course, a good retinol at night at another thing I find that as important and that’s from drunk elephant Passioni but there are so many other brands out there. It’s incredible. Good luck to all of us women!
Can you use the cream on your face if you are already using the patched?
Thank you for your help
Can I use the compounding estradiol cream .3% dose on my face? Is this dose too strong for the face?
Where can you get this compound estrogen? I want it but only have the vaginal cream I use internally…will try this on my face but compounding creams are better. I just saw a doctor. I forget her name, an older woman who went into detail about this, but how the hell do we get it right? ol!
I believe it should not be highter than 0.01 😊
Anyway I can buy your book autographed?
Does it also help hormonal acne
Can the estrogen be used in the am and tretinoin in the pm? Thats what ive been doing so not sure if thats appropriate or not
Perfect
Where can I get this cream at?
Ask your doctor to see if it’s right for you
Can black women use this??? An how does it effect hypigmentation in black skin???an your face is beautiful by the way
Is forever young BBL procedure for ppl of color?
It depends on the degree of melanin in your skin, but some darker skin tones can be treated with the right settings. For more on lasers for dark skin, check out my TH-cam video on lasers for dark skin.
Thank you Dr Azi
High intensity interval training through Swimming or running or Cycling twice a week ,is known to increase HCG the human growth Hormone, that naturally will increase estradiol levels ,acting through the adrenal glands which also produces estrogen, so exercising at high intensity especially HIIT or High intensity interval training naturally increases estrogen .estrogen skin or vaginal creams in all forms increase risk of breast cancer by 30 percent .I am a doctor .
Can a post breast cancer use compounding estrogen??
That’s a great question. It’s best to talk with your doctor. Recent study did not show a risk with vaginal estrogen
@@SkinByDrAzi Thank You!
Would you be able to give more info or a name of estrogen analogues?
You're fine using your hands to talk. I'm Italian and used to it.
Great video. I subscribed.
Where can I get estradiol without prescription ?
It’s a RX in the US
I got a script for Premarin vaginal cream and put it on my face + neck but it dried my skin so bad and made the lines on my face even worse unfortunately. Wondering if this particular compound shouldn’t be used on the face …
I’m 48 and I had an ablation on my uterus. Haven’t had a period in 21 yrs. So how can I tell?
It’s best to talk with your doctor a symptoms vary, and it can be sleeplessness, anxiety, hot flashes
I just started this, but I hate the smell. I checked and there's no fragrance on the Pfizer ingredient list, but it smells like roses to me (which I dislike). Does equine estrogen smell like roses (lol, sort of)?
Pfizer?!
What about the risk of breast cancer , won't this application to the face cause a systemic effect? Can I use Estriol cream? That is the one my GP has prescribed for my dry bits under.
I use vagifem, a suppository. My doctor said the amount of estrogen in each suppository is so minimal. It would be like taking one birth control pill every two years. 🤷🏼♀️
Wait? You got it from a General Practitioner? My doctor knew nothing about it so he wouldn't help me get it. Do you think he'd want to Google it and educate himself for many many patients. But no.
The Vaginal Estrogen Cream is even safe for Breast Cancer Patients.Dr Sheila da Liz, the author of Women on fire, stated this.She wrote this book and its an absolute Bestseller in Germany.
That’s because it’s below the heart. If it’s above the heart you’re risking getting breast cancer!
@@gerrimcgrath6878 Thank you for replying!
I want to see before and after results from an older woman who has menopause face. These young women who are not in menopause & have young skin don't convince me of results.
I am in sixties ifind skin loosening in neck area,my hands it is getting thin.what shiuld i use .I am also experiencing melasma on my face
Please suggest
I wish you would mention estrogen positive breast cancer. 1 out 5 women will have breast cancer and these cancer cells "feed" on estrogen. Losing your fertility after fifty is a natural aging process, not a disease. Many issues derived from the loss of estrogen can be dealt with by adapting a healty diet, weight training, meditation and maintaining strong pelvic and core muscles. Hormone balance is a very delicate matter.
Sugar also feeds cancer cells
This is outdated information. Some of it may pertain but not all. Dr Mary Claire is a good resource to find out about the latest research on menopause .
Exactly. They prescribe breast Cancer patients anti-hormones after Chemo,surgery and radiation.
You couldn’t be more wrong about BHRT and cancer. Old women in menopause with low estrogen get bc not young women with high estrogen and pregnant women. Diet will never ever ever replace lost estradiol. Enjoy your osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease all which come from low estrogen after menopause. A clean healthy diet won’t prevent these diseases either
@rainiewhitney8089 I am just wondering which issues pertain, is it the cancer issue? Also, there is a warning on the packaging. It may increase the risk of blood clots. So, if you are having any type of surgery, you need to be aware of that, so much information that we do not know.
It’s not fair.
My estrogen is high. Should I still use it?
It’s best to ask your doctor
Thank you. Quick question the estradiol cream can it be use every day or every other day please advise Thank you once again.
Either option it’s best to talk with your doctor.
No thank you! It’s not a good thing. Finally we decreased cancer especially breast and ovarian as well cervical cancers and some skin cancers due to lowering of estrogen why would we increase it again by putting estrogen in our body. Yes it can help slightly with ppl that get severe mood swings during this change but it’s no different then what we had during pms but I’d rather live and use natural remedies!!!
Go to a NAMS specialist in your area
This video gave me age anxiety in the start
...On National Geographic!... 🤣😅😂 It was published on Nature Aging!!
Are you familiar with the Estriol from Parlor Games? Wondering if this could be used on the face. TY!
Absolutely love peachy ! I use it under my eyes with great effect.
What about adding a small amount to a body lotion?
You look amazingly beautiful
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for such an important and informative video❤️🩹
If the cream is applied to the vagina it will not travel through the blood stream. Oral or the patch will travel and give you the benefits of estrogen like strong bones, less cardiovascular risk, and other benefits
Be aware that estrogen can cause blod clots, among other things. Look at your family history and talk with a doctor about this, then weigh the risk with the information you have obtained.
Topical estrogen does not cause blood clots. Oral estrogen does. It is converted/broken down in the liver and that’s where the risk of clots starts.
@@StunningTransformationsCorrect!
Do you need a rx for these ?
Yes
Oh I used tretinion every night on my old as dirt skin 😂

How come Asians and Persians Arabs stay young looking until 70s?
Plastic surgery and skin treatments on office
What they eat
They have more melanin in their skin( a natural skin protectant.)
Persians are not Arabs!
It’s a kind of duh, if it’s a cream than is supposed to on the skin elsewhere on the body, does it matter where? 😅
Also, some thoughts of vaginal estrogen cream: if you’re guy do u really want to go there? Seems like a castration chamber to me 🤔
You can also get the estrogen compounded. They are really not a lot Studies in men
You bounce around too much, it’s distracting.
Like physically?? 😂
lol.... bouncing is good dr!!!
I like the bounce it makes you interesting
Don’t watch and just listen. People are very ungrateful
I find it to be insanely ungrateful to criticize another creature for something as ridiculous as this, what EXACTLY is your problem, this is free education about your health, why in the world can you not just be in a state of gratitude for gifts you receive free????
Having some advices about someone who had surgery really hell no…your advice could be dangerous…people careful it’s your skin..
