Anti-Aging Treatments
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Walnut Creek, CA
An anti-aging treatment is any therapy or procedure designed to improve energy levels and reduce signs of facial aging. As you age, hormone fluctuations and changes to your metabolism can affect your ability to perform daily tasks. Collagen—the protein in your skin that helps it maintain its structure–also begins to decline with age, leading to fine lines and wrinkles.
At Evolved Medical, Dr. Amit Rajguru is a board-certified internal medicine specialist with years of experience helping patients improve their well-being with customizable treatments specifically designed to help patients address the impact that aging has on the body.

About Anti-Aging Treatments
As you age, it’s common to experience wrinkles, discoloration, and changes in skin laxity. Your lifestyle also has a major impact on the quality of your skin. UV exposure, smoking, diet, sleep, and stress can all affect the quality of your skin. Sun damage can create fine lines and age spots that cause you to look older than you are.
Anti-aging treatments take a holistic approach to rebalance the endocrine system by improving hormone levels. They also address the aesthetic signs of aging, such as fine lines, laxity, and wrinkles, to improve self-confidence and help you feel your best.
Skin Rejuvenation
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectables that restore volume to your skin to balance your facial proportions for a smoother, plumper appearance. They can also reduce wrinkles and fine lines with natural-looking results. We offer several types of fillers to treat both delicate areas of the face and deeper tissue. We can also augment your lips with dermal fillers for a plumper, fuller appearance.
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are injectables that reduce repetitive muscle movements that cause fine lines and wrinkles. We can administer the injectable directly into the muscle to reduce acetylcholine–the neurotransmitter responsible for repetitive muscle movements. Botox and Dysport are two neuromodulator injectables that are processed differently; Dysport can spread further beneath the skin. (1) During your consultation, we can discuss whether Botox or Dysport is best for your needs.
PRP Facelift
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) rejuvenates your skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles with the power of your own blood. During a PRP facelift, we will take a small blood sample and purify it in a centrifuge to extract the plasma. Unlike a traditional facelift, which tightens the skin with incisions, a PRP facelift rejuvenates the skin without incisions for a smoother complexion with minimal downtime.
PRP for Hair Loss
PRP for hair loss stimulates the hair follicles in your scalp to help you achieve new hair growth. During the treatment, we can take a small blood sample and purify it in a centrifuge to extract the plasma and create a nutrient-rich serum. We can administer the serum directly into the scalp to improve your hair growth. Over time, you can enjoy thicker, more consistent hair growth.
Broad Band Light (BBL) Photofacial
A BBL Photofacial increases collagen levels in your skin to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone for a smoother, more youthful complexion. During the treatment, we can administer light energy to the skin’s chromophores–pigments that absorb the laser energy —while preserving the surrounding tissue. The laser energy breaks up the pigment of abnormalities in the skin for a more even tone and radiant appearance.
Bio Filler
Bio filler restores volume to your skin and helps your skin regenerate new, healthy cells for a smoother, more youthful complexion. With a small blood sample, we can create a nutrient-rich serum to improve the appearance of your hands, face, and neck. The treatment can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and the natural-looking volume provides a plumper look.
Hormone Therapy
Bioidentical hormone treatment (BHRT) rebalances your body’s hormone levels to improve your energy, mood, sleep, and skin quality with plant-based hormones. We offer several different types of hormone therapy to restore your body, depending on your symptoms or goals. Hormone pellet therapy restores your body’s hormone levels with small pellets that we place beneath the skin on your lower abdomen. We can administer hormone injections directly into the muscle to improve your hormone levels more quickly.
Andropause
Andropause is a condition that begins when men experience a chronic testosterone decline. It typically starts at the age of 30, resulting in a 30% decline in testosterone levels that continues to decline by 1% each year. BHRT can improve levels of testosterone to help with the following:
- Build muscle
- Stabilize mood
- Improve sleep
- Reduce exercise-resistant fat
- Improve libido
- Reduce hair loss
Menopause
Menopause occurs when a woman has not had a period for more than 12 months. Rebalancing the hormones and improving vaginal dryness can improve comfort in daily life and physical intimacy. With BHRT, we can rebalance the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body to treat the chronic imbalance and improve:
- Mental clarity
- Sleep quality
- Physical intimacy
- Skin health
- Vaginal dryness
- Mood
- Night sweats
- Hot flashes
Growth Hormone GP Peptides
Growth hormone GP peptides can help you improve your sleep quality, libido, and muscle mass for a better quality of life. Human growth hormones (HGH) help your body generate new tissue. They are also instrumental in helping you increase your muscle mass and regulate blood sugar levels. (3)
Weight Loss
Weight loss medications optimize your metabolism to help your body reduce excess fat more quickly. Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) mimic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)–a natural hormone that helps regulate your appetite and improve your insulin sensitivity for more effective weight loss. Tirzepatide, a dual agonist, mimics both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptides (GIP). Your treatment will depend on your medical history, and we can discuss the best option for you during your consultation.
Benefits of Anti-Aging Treatments

- Improved energy levels
- Improved sleep quality
- Enhanced cognitive function
- Healthier skin
- Improved intimate relationships
Candidates
If you are in good overall health, you are likely a good candidate for anti-aging treatments at Evolved Medical. Suitable candidates want to improve their overall health and/or address the aesthetic changes common with aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Candidates for BHRT will need to be prepared to make lifestyle changes to support their bodies during the therapy, such as eating healthy meals, getting adequate rest (7-8 hours each night), and exercising regularly. If you have a chronic age-related condition that affects your hormones, we can discuss long-term treatments to help you stabilize your endocrine system and improve your quality of life.
Consultation
During your consultation, we will discuss your symptoms to create a personalized treatment plan. We will need to know if you have any medical conditions or are taking medications. Please come prepared to discuss your aesthetic goals openly. For hormone therapy, we will need to take a small blood sample to analyze your hormone levels to create an effective treatment plan.
If you have additional goals, we can recommend treatment to help you achieve them. See the blog to learn more about the additional treatments we offer!
After Your Treatment
Many patients also find that their self-esteem improves after anti-aging treatments. After hormone-balancing treatments, you can enjoy improved mood, energy levels, and mental clarity. If you receive skin rejuvenation treatments, you can enjoy plumper skin, fewer fine lines, and a more even skin tone with lasting results.
