June is Men’s Health Month, and there’s no better time to start investing in your well-being. At Sophisticated Wellness & Aesthetics, we believe that men deserve proactive, personalized care that enhances energy, sharpens performance, and supports a longer, more fulfilling life.
Men are often less likely to seek routine medical care, and they face higher risks of heart disease, diabetes, low testosterone, and preventable cancers. According to the CDC, men die five years earlier than women, on average, and are more likely to skip regular check-ups and essential screenings.
It’s time to change that narrative—with modern tools, personalized care, and a commitment to feeling your best from the inside out.

1. Testosterone Optimization: Reclaim Your Vitality
Low testosterone (low T) can lead to fatigue, decreased muscle mass, low libido, and mood changes. Studies show that up to 40% of men over age 45 have low testosterone levels, yet many go undiagnosed.
At SWA, we offer testosterone optimization therapy based on comprehensive lab testing and clinical symptoms. Whether through injections or other forms, we help men safely restore optimal levels to improve strength, energy, sexual function, and mental clarity.
Bonus: All patients undergo a full hormone panel and health screening to ensure a tailored and monitored plan.
2. Peptide Therapy: Support Muscle, Recovery, and Anti-Aging
Peptides are small chains of amino acids that support key functions like muscle building, fat loss, sleep quality, and cognitive performance. For example, BPC-157 and Ipamorelin are popular peptides that help with tissue repair and growth hormone release.
Our peptide therapy program supports:
Increased lean muscle mass
Improved recovery and sleep
Fat reduction
Cognitive enhancement
This is ideal for high performers, athletes, or any man looking to optimize physical and mental resilience.
3. IV Hydration: Recharge from the Inside Out
Whether you're recovering from intense workouts, dehydration, or simply need a boost, IV hydration therapy delivers essential fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins directly to your bloodstream for fast, effective results.
Popular infusions for men:
Performance & Recovery Drip(for athletic performance)
NAD+ Therapy (for cellular repair and mental clarity)
Immunity Boost (zinc, vitamin C, and glutathione)
Fun Fact: IV hydration bypasses digestion, meaning your body absorbs 90-100% of nutrients, compared to ~20% from oral supplements.
4. Weight Management: Targeted and Sustainable
Struggling to lose weight despite workouts and diets? You’re not alone—according to the NIH, 74% of men in the U.S. are overweight or obese.
Our men's weight loss program includes:
Prescription medication options
Body composition analysis
Weekly vitamin shots
Health coaching and lab monitoring
You’ll receive a personalized strategy that addresses metabolism, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle, not just a generic diet plan.
5. Direct Primary Care: Routine Screenings Without the Hassle
At SWA, we take a preventive approach through our Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. DPC eliminates the need for insurance and offers unlimited visits, extended appointment times, and easy access to your provider.
Services include:
Annual physicals and wellness labs
Prostate cancer screenings
Blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose monitoring
Mental health check-ins
Rapid sick visits and virtual care
Our goal is to detect issues early and keep you feeling your best before symptoms slow you down.
6. Botox and Facials for Men: Confidence Without Compromise
Botox isn’t just for women. Men are increasingly using Botox (“Brotox”) to smooth forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet—helping them look refreshed without looking “done.”
At SWA, we also offer customizable facials, including:
Deep pore cleansing
Hydrafacials for oil control and hydration
Treatments for razor bumps and ingrown hairs
Chemical peels for acne or hyperpigmentation
Healthy skin is professional, attractive, and part of overall wellness. Let us build you a skincare routine that works as hard as you do.

Men’s Health Month is more than a reminder, it's an opportunity to take control of your health and longevity.
