Low libido affects both men and women and is most commonly driven by hormonal decline. It's one of the most treatable wellness concerns — when the right cause is identified.
get startedLow libido refers to a meaningful and persistent reduction in sexual desire that represents a change from the patient's prior baseline. It affects men and women across all age groups but becomes significantly more common in midlife as hormonal changes accelerate. It is among the most underreported symptoms of hormonal decline — patients often normalize it, attribute it to stress or relationship factors, or simply don't raise it with their healthcare provider. It is, in most cases, directly addressable.
Patients come in about low libido when it's affecting their relationship or their sense of themselves. Many have been told it's just part of aging. At CAMI, we don't accept that as an answer before ruling out everything treatable.
Low libido is multifactorial, but hormonal decline is the most common physiological driver.
Testosterone decline: Testosterone is the primary hormone driving sexual desire in both men and women. Its decline with age, stress, or medical conditions is the most directly treatable cause of low libido in both sexes.
Estrogen changes: In women, estrogen affects both the psychological and physical aspects of desire and arousal. Estrogen decline during perimenopause reduces lubrication, can cause pain with intercourse, and affects the neurological components of arousal.
Cortisol elevation: Chronic stress suppresses testosterone production through a direct hormonal competition — the body prioritizes cortisol production over sex hormone production under sustained stress. The result is reduced desire even in the absence of age-related hormonal decline.
Poor sleep: Testosterone and growth hormone are predominantly secreted during deep sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation measurably reduces testosterone levels in both men and women.
Patients presenting with low libido typically describe:
Testosterone declines gradually in both sexes from the late 20s onward. The rate of decline accelerates in women during perimenopause and in men through andropause. By the mid-40s, many patients are experiencing a testosterone level meaningfully below their youthful baseline — a decline that's gradual enough to normalize but significant enough to affect libido, energy, mood, and body composition simultaneously.
The longer the deficit goes unaddressed, the more the contributing factors compound. Poor sleep suppresses testosterone. Low testosterone affects sleep quality. Reduced physical energy and mood changes reduce the psychological components of desire. The cycle reinforces itself.
Low libido responds best to a protocol that identifies and addresses all contributing factors.
At CAMI, we treat low libido as a physiological concern that deserves the same investigation as any other hormone-related symptom. We run a full panel, identify the drivers, and build a protocol that addresses all of them. We also have a straightforward conversation about what patients can expect — timeline, degree of improvement, and what adjustments may be needed.
The goal isn't to return a patient to a 25-year-old's libido. It's to restore them to a level of desire and vitality that feels like a natural, healthy version of themselves at this stage of life.
Care guided by experience, precision, and a deep understanding of natural beauty.

I have been coming to CAMI for 5 to 6 years now and their service is bar none! I’m always exceptionally pleased with my results, as I rotate Botox and Xenomin. The staff are very friendly and I always make me feel right at home!
I can’t say enough about the entire team at CAMI and overall experience as a new patient. My concerns were addressed and at no point did I feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Katie and the entire staff put me at ease. My results are amazing and have made me feel so much more confident. Thank you CAMI! Highly recommend!

Ashley at CAMI has been amazing. She made me feel comfortable before, during and after my treatments and helped me feel more confident in my appearance
I saw Madison for my Botox appointment and she was the best! She listened to my concerns and I’m very pleased with the results. She also recommended some great skincare products! Can’t recommend this office enough!
I had a wonderful experience with Madison Mikolajczyk,. From the very beginning, she explained everything about my face in detail and with such professionalism that I immediately felt comfortable. I truly appreciated her honesty in telling me exactly what I needed and what would work best for my features. She performed my filler injections using the cannula method and normal injections which left me with beautiful, natural-looking results—and no bruising at all. No one can do that using that method with no bruising. The entire process was completely painless, as she took her time and worked so gently.I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. My results are subtle, natural, and exactly what I hoped for. I’m truly in love with the way my face looks now and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking safe, professional, and natural enhancements. I did Sculptra, Botox and Radiesse filler looking forward for more.
I’ve had nothing but a great experience at CAMI! Ashley is amazing at what she does, as someone who has never gotten any kind of injections before, she was very knowledgeable explaining everything to you beforehand, and will make you feel as comfortable and confident as possible!
I have been very happy with my services over the past few months. Meredith is so sweet and always makes my time there very comfortable. She is patient with me and never pushes me into anything I’m not comfortable with regarding my skin.
I love visiting the CAMI location in Huntersville! They treat everyone special and I left feeling refreshed and uplifted. It was my first time meeting Katie, and she was spectacular! She spent time addressing my needs and concerns and I will definitely request an appointment with Katie again. Thank you CAMI!!
Very personable fun atmosphere and relaxing. Normally I go to California for my facials but I feel very good going to CAMI in Huntersville for my beauty needs.
Easy to schedule consult and treatments! Wonderful welcoming staff at CAMI who make you feel relaxed and excited to be there. Will continue to choose CAMI for all cosmetic needs and recommend to everyone!
This is a great place to come for any facial treatments, fillers, etc. The staff is excellent and I felt totally pampered.
The team is awesome. The staff takes great care of me. I would highly recommend CAMI.
The team was amazing. This was my 1st time getting Botox. They were very thorough and informative. They made the experience easy.
Their team is highly skilled and very good at what they do. I have never had any type of facial treatments before and decided it was time for a little pick-me-up. They took the time to listen to my concerns and recommended the procedure that was best suited for the outcome I was wanting.
Ashley is fantastic! Professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She’s my go-to for all my skincare maintenance needs. I always leave feeling confident and refreshed!

I was honestly skeptical about trying CAMI since I hadn’t had the best experiences with Botox and other treatments elsewhere. But choosing CAMI turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. Madison, in particular, is the best nurse and injector I’ve ever worked with—she’s honest, genuinely cares about your results, and makes you feel like her top priority. While the treatments are an investment, as we age a little extra care and attention truly go a long way.
I Love CAMI, and all there staff! Katie Wilson is the absolute Beauty Making Queen!!! 👑 She is very particular when she was doing what I asked of and the results are perfection. I have recommended CAMI to multiple people and they are just as please. Thank you CAMI
I’m so glad I gave this med spa another chance. Everything feels completely different now in the best way. I had a hydrafacial and hydr with Meredith and noticed an immediate improvement in my skin. I went back and purchased a microneedling package, and the results have been good so far. Meredith truly made my experience there so much better. She made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and kept me laughing the entire time. She is also very honest, which I really appreciate. I’ve finally found my person, and I won’t let anyone else touch my face. Highly recommend!
