Though not an absolute for every relationship, sexual intimacy can be an important part of connecting with your partner.
It’s just sometimes we can’t seem to get in the mood. Aging can put stumbling blocks on our path to romance:
- Loss of libido
- Discomfort during intimacy
- Lack of function (male and female)
- General fatigue
- And more
At Marcos Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we have treatments and therapies to help men and women increase libido in San Antonio. Contact us for a consultation, and let’s see about helping you and your significant other recapture this part of your relationship—so you can love your love life again.
Why Is Intimacy Important?
For some couples, sex just isn’t important—and that’s perfectly normal.
For sexually active adults, however, a study reported that 40% of participants felt that the frequency of sex was less often than they wanted to have. Almost 40% of those adults reported not having sex at all in the previous year.
The fact is, those who want sexual intimacy and feel it’s an important part of their relationship enjoy certain benefits:
Emotional Connection
Sex can increase emotional intimacy along with physical intimacy. This sharing of pleasure, and the cocktail of beneficial hormones it creates, can strengthen the bond between partners. A healthy sex life helps partners feel better about their relationship connection.
Physical Health
Sex can have physical benefits, such as boosting the immune system, reducing anxiety, and lowering blood pressure. Not to mention that it can involve a bit of cardio.
Stress Relief
Positive sexual intimacy can help relieve stress and tension, both by activating hormone release and by the soothing nature of positive physical contact.
Self-Image
Sex can help partners develop a stronger self-image. They feel attractive, wanted, and confident enough to express their desires without fear.
Commitment
Sex can increase commitment to the relationship, resulting in the likelihood of staying together longer and more happily.
But to truly enjoy physical intimacy, you need the desire to have sex before everything else can happen. When you feel like you should want to but your body won’t follow your heart, there are ways to increase libido in San Antonio for more joyous outcomes.
For Women
Though highs and lows happen for sexual desire, a woman’s libido can be consistently negatively impacted by a number of factors. Pregnancy, menopause, illness, and medications can greatly diminish a woman’s sex drive.
Many of these situations or times of life create physical issues that lessen a woman’s desire for intimacy, including:
- Vaginal dryness
- Painful intercourse
- Loss of sensation/tightness
- Difficulty reaching orgasm
- Urinary incontinence (affecting confidence)
Marcos Medical has several treatments and therapies that help women regain the pleasure of intimacy, leading to a much stronger and lasting libido.
HRT for Women
When it comes to sexual performance, hormones are a big deal. They keep people functioning properly and help enhance the mood for intimacy. But when a woman suffers from a hormone imbalance, her system doesn’t function like it should.
Having too much or not enough of certain hormones affects not only the body’s tissues and organs, it can also impact other hormone production, furthering the imbalance and affecting practically every part of their biology.
Women’s bio-identical hormone replacement therapy at Marcos Medical helps women regain hormonal balance for:
- Increased libido
- Improved vaginal health
- Elevated mood
- Boosted energy
- Increased focus
- Improved memory
- Better sleep
How BHRT Works
A Marcos Medical team provider will conduct a thorough hormone panel assessment to understand your unique hormonal requirements. Based on the results, we will customize a treatment plan for bio-identical hormones that will restore hormonal balance.
We administer this therapy via bio-identical hormone pellets, sourced from natural plant sources. All of our pellets are manufactured and tested for potency, sterility, and endotoxins to ensure proper hormone optimization.
In a painless procedure, we insert the pellets into the upper buttocks, where they gradually release hormones into your bloodstream. You can expect the BHRT support for your body’s natural hormone balance to last up to 6 months.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
If you’re like many women who experience vaginal dryness and decreased sexual function, our revolutionary Juliet vaginal rejuvenation system and Emfemme system increase female libido in San Antonio from the inside out.

Juliet Vaginal Rejuvenation
This nonsurgical procedure uses laser technology to improve intimate wellness, and is particularly effective for women experiencing menopause. The Juliet vaginal rejuvenation laser helps to restore tone to the vaginal wall and to rejuvenate the vulvar area, for:
- Improved sensation
- Enhanced lubrication
- Elevated personal aesthetic
Emfemme
Emfemme from BTL—advanced creators of Emsculpt NEO and Emsella—provides FDA-approved, nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation that lifts and tightens labial tissue via radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Depending on your treatment goals, Emfemme can also strengthen and tighten vaginal walls and enhance blood flow to the clitoris to heighten sensation and increase libido in San Antonio.
Both of these vaginal rejuvenation treatments require zero downtime. Though they may take up to 36 hours for recovery time, after that you can enjoy sexual activity with improvements that begin almost immediately.
Emsella
Pelvic floor disorders, childbirth, and aging can weaken a woman’s pelvic floor muscles. Emsella’s pelvic floor therapy can strengthen those muscles simply and easily. Bring a book or magazine, sit in the amazing Emsella chair, and prepare to regain some of that “magic” you’ve been missing.
How Emsella Works
Emsella starts with an ergonomic chair equipped with high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM®). When you sit in the Emsella chair, electromagnetic energy rises from the seat to stimulate the pelvic floor.
This causes pelvic muscles to contract. Think of it like doing Kegels. A lot of Kegels. Basically 12,000 Kegels in one 30-minute treatment.
This muscle training and rehabilitation directly contributes to sexual sensation by:
- Tightening the vaginal canal
- Enhancing blood flow to the clitoris and vaginal opening
- Increasing sexual pleasure for easier and more powerful orgasms
O-Shot®
Marcos Medical has attained the training and certification to be a licensed provider of the O-Shot for women to increase libido in San Antonio. This simple, painless series of injections uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the female patient’s own blood to:
- Increase natural lubrication
- Enhance genital sensitivity
- Achieve more intense and frequent orgasms
- Decrease urinary incontinence for improved confidence
Your Marcos Medical provider will apply a topical anesthetic to the injection area. When that has properly numbed the skin, they will inject the PRP. No recovery time is needed, and you can go on about your day. Our patients generally feel sensation changes within 3 to 7 days of treatment.
Your body continues healing and growing new tissue over the next few weeks. Although every patient is different, optimal results typically last for 14 to 18 months.
For the Men
A man’s confidence plays a large role in his ability to get in the mood and maintain his ability to engage in sexual intimacy.
There are only so many choices a man has to increase his libido on his own, including:
- Getting more exercise
- Limiting alcohol intake
- Choosing proper nutrition
- Reducing stress
- Sleeping better
Sometimes the lack of desire comes from natural changes. For example, andropause develops as men’s bodies stop making as much testosterone as when they were younger. Unlike the more sudden cessation of women’s hormone production involved in menopause, andropause results from an average 1% decline in testosterone production each year after the age of 40.
In addition to the direct impact on libido, these hormonal changes can negatively affect the way a man looks and his overall energy and vitality. Depression, sleeplessness, and a loss of motivation can follow, further decreasing libido.
These issues can also affect his ability to achieve and maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction), which can create a sense of shame and a loss of self-esteem.
Marcos Medical offers treatments and therapies for men that can help increase libido in San Antonio for better days and happier nights.
HRT for Men
Hormone deficiency in men affects their function in a cascade of effects—including erectile dysfunction and loss of libido.
That hardest part of all? Talking about it.
That’s why when you schedule a consultation at Marcos Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we create a safe space to discuss the issues causing you concern. In this no-judgment zone, we’ll talk about your current health, your lifestyle, and your libido problems. If the symptoms point toward a hormonal deficiency, we’ll run blood tests for a hormone panel.
With the data in hand, we’ll schedule an appointment to review male bio-identical hormone replacement therapies. These can get you back on track to feeling like yourself again.
Benefits of BHRT include:
- Enhanced sexual performance
- Increased libido
- Improvements in mood
- More energy
- Enhanced weight loss
- Enhanced mental clarity
Our BHRT pellets gradually release hormones into your bloodstream, supporting your body’s natural hormone production for up to 6 months following treatment. This is how a fella got his groove back!
The P-Shot®
As with the O-Shot, Marcos Medical is a licensed, certified provider of the P-Shot for men to increase libido in San Antonio. Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the male patient’s own blood, the P-Shot is painlessly injected into the penis. This can:
- Heal tissue
- Grow new tissue and blood vessels
- Correct structural issues (such as Peyronie’s disease)
The P-Shot helps increase the firmness of erections as well as penile length and girth (usually by an inch or more).
Shockwave Therapy
Almost every guy over 40 (and some younger) has heard of the “little blue pill.” Medications exist for erectile dysfunction, but often their use has to be pre-planned, which takes some of the spontaneity out of intimacy.
To increase libido in San Antonio, many choose shockwave therapy at Marcos Medical. The problem with achieving and maintaining an erection can be poor blood flow to and within the penis. Shockwave therapy uses noninvasive technology to deliver pulsed acoustic sound waves into the penis—no drugs, surgery, injections, or downtime.
This treatment helps remove plaque and unblock blood vessels while stimulating new blood vessel growth. Over time, this improved flow means more spontaneous erections, better erectile strength, and increased sensation for stronger orgasms.
Benefits of shockwave therapy include:
- Improved erections
- Increased stimulation
- Enhanced blood flow
- Improved confidence
- Increased satisfaction
These long-lasting results arrive painlessly. Shockwave therapy helps your body help your love life.
Emsella
Sometimes the problem with erectile dysfunction lies within—specifically your pelvic floor.
Maybe a guy has a desk job that doesn’t require much movement, or lives a sedentary lifestyle without a lot of exercise. This can weaken the pelvic floor and core muscles, both of which directly contribute to achieving and maintaining an erection.
When a weak pelvic floor causes erectile dysfunction, this feeling of inadequacy can greatly reduce the desire for intimacy. Our Emsella treatment can strengthen the muscles that hold and control your prostate, bladder, and rectum.
This increased strength helps to correct erectile dysfunction caused by the inability of lax muscles to retain blood in an erection.
