This similarity allows it to be recognized and used by your body to address symptoms caused by declining estrogen levels during menopause or perimenopause. Q: What is the source of the estriol, estradiol, and progesterone in The Estrogen Boost?A: They are derived from yams and soy. Q: What is the source of the estriol in The Aging Repair Cream?A: It is derived from vegetable sterols.Q: How does estrogen help aging skin?A: Estrogen-based treatments such as The Aging Repair Cream are formulated to plump the skin, restore elasticity, shrink pores, and improve dryness and dullness.Q: How does estrogen relieve menopause symptoms?A: By rebalancing the hormones that cause menopause symptoms, HRT/MHT provides relief from hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and other disruptive symptoms.Q: Can The Estrogen Boost be used alongside The Aging Repair Cream since both include estriol? Or will only one be able to be prescribed?A: The Estrogen Boost and The Aging Repair Cream can be used alongside each other! However, as the ingredients are similar, this may be redundant depending on what concerns you wish to treat. During the order process, your Board-Certified OB-GYN and Dermatologist will be able to determine if using both or just one will be most beneficial for you.Q: What's the difference between using The Aging Repair Cream and just using vaginal estrogen on your face?A: The Aging Repair Cream is specifically formulated for use on the face. Vaginal estrogen creams are not designed for facial application and may cause irritation or unwanted side effects when used outside their intended purpose.Q: Does estrogen cause cancer?A: There have been studies to test whether or not hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, will cause cancer. Findings showed that bioidentical hormones are safer. Additionally, the forms of estrogen used in The Aging Repair Cream and The Estrogen Boost are low enough that they have not been linked to cancer. At Musely, we take the safety and well-being of our patients very seriously. Our board-certified OB-GYNs and dermatologists thoroughly review each patient’s medical history, current symptoms, and other critical factors before prescribing our treatments.Q: What makes estriol (estrogen) different than tretinoin or retinol?A: Estriol promotes hydration and collagen production by binding to existing fibroblasts in the skin. On the other hand, tretinoin increases cell turnover, increases fibroblasts, and helps with collagen stimulation while decreasing collagen breakdown.Q: Are estrogen-based treatments safe to use with tretinoin?A: Yes, The Estrogen Boost and The Aging Repair Cream can be used alongside tretinoin treatments such as The Anti-Aging Cream!Whether you’re managing menopausal symptoms or looking to treat aging skin, Musely’s estrogen-based prescription treatments are great options!
