Why Luxura Med Spa Chicago Avoids Anabolic Steroids—and Uses Medical Peptides Instead

At Luxura Med Spa Chicago, our mission is to help you achieve lasting wellness and results—safely. That’s why we never use or prescribe anabolic steroids. While these synthetic hormones can create rapid changes in muscle tone or fat loss, they come with significant long-term risks, especially for women.

The Risks of Anabolic Steroids

Though they may seem appealing for quick results, anabolic steroids can disrupt your body’s natural hormone balance and cause irreversible damage. Over time, steroid use can lead to both physical and metabolic complications that outweigh any temporary benefits.

Common Side Effects of Steroid Use Include:
  • Severe acne and oily skin
  • Premature facial aging and hair loss
  • Abdominal bloating or distention
  • Hormonal suppression and infertility
  • Voice deepening and unwanted facial hair growth
  • Increased risk of stroke, heart disease, and liver damage
The Safer, Smarter Alternative: Medical Peptides & HRT

Instead of using synthetic hormones, Luxura Med Spa Chicago offers medical-grade peptide therapy and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) under physician supervision. These treatments work with your body—not against it—by supporting the natural hormones and growth factors your system already produces.

Peptides signal your body to rejuvenate, repair, and optimize performance safely and gradually. Results are steady, sustainable, and long-lasting—with fewer side effects and better overall balance compared to anabolic steroids.
