What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy restores levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that decline and vary as people age. This supplementation helps alleviate symptoms associated with hormone deficiencies. The objective of HRT is to support overall wellness by maintaining balanced hormone levels.

 

How does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with pellets involves a personalized approach to managing hormonal imbalances. After assessing your hormone levels and symptoms, a customized blend of bioidentical hormones—identical to those naturally produced by the body—is prepared in pellet form. These small pellets are then inserted under the skin through a quick, minimally invasive procedure. Once inserted, the pellets release hormones steadily over several months, maintaining consistent hormone levels throughout the day. Regular follow-up appointments ensure that the therapy remains effective, and adjustments are made as needed. This method provides a convenient and stable solution for alleviating symptoms of hormonal imbalances and supporting overall wellness.

Why Choose Pellets for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Pellets are an effective choice for hormone replacement therapy because they deliver a steady, consistent release of bioidentical hormones directly into your bloodstream. This approach ensures stable hormone levels throughout the day, reducing fluctuations and the need for frequent dosing compared to daily pills or topical treatments. The minimally invasive procedure involves a quick insertion with minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly resume your daily activities. Additionally, pellets closely match your body’s natural hormone rhythms, offering a precise and reliable method for managing symptoms and achieving optimal hormonal balance.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy with Pellets:

  • Consistent Hormone Levels: Pellet hormone replacement therapy provides steady hormone levels over an extended period.
  • Convenience: Pellets are typically inserted every few months, reducing the need for daily medication.
  • Enhanced Symptom Relief: Effective in alleviating symptoms of hormone imbalance such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue.
  • Improved Quality of Life: May enhance energy levels, libido, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
  • Personalized Treatment: Custom-compounded to suit individual hormone needs based on lab tests and symptoms.
  • Reduced Risks: Bioidentical hormones in pellets mimic natural hormones closely, potentially reducing risks associated with synthetic hormones.

Personalized Hormone Assessment Consultation

At Aspire MedSpa and Beauty Bar, we begin your journey with a detailed evaluation of your hormone levels and symptoms. This includes thorough blood tests to get a complete picture of your hormonal health. Based on these results, we develop a customized treatment plan specifically designed to address your unique needs and goals. Our goal is to ensure that your treatment is as effective and personalized as possible, setting you on the path to improved well-being.

Custom Pellet Preparation

We prepare a personalized blend of bioidentical hormones with Biote, who provides us with precisely formulated pellets. These pellets are designed to match the hormones naturally produced by your body and are carefully crafted to deliver a steady, consistent release of hormones over time. This collaboration with Biote ensures that you receive a highly effective, customized treatment to address your unique hormonal needs and enhance overall well-being.

Pellet Insertion

Our skilled professionals insert the pellets under the skin using a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure. This involves a small incision, through which the pellets are placed into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring that you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. This method is quick, with a focus on your comfort, and requires little recovery time.

 

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

We schedule regular follow-up appointments for both men and women to closely monitor the effectiveness of your hormone therapy. During these visits, we evaluate how well the treatment is working, review any changes in your symptoms, and adjust your plan if needed. Typically, hormone pellets need to be replaced every 3 to 6 months to ensure you maintain the optimal balance of hormones. This continuous monitoring and adjustment help us provide the best possible results, supporting your overall health and well-being. Whether you’re a man or a woman, our goal is to help you feel your best by personalizing your care and keeping you on track.

Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQ

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy suitable for both men and women?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is beneficial for both women and men, offering tailored solutions for hormonal imbalances. For women, HRT alleviates menopause symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings by restoring estrogen and progesterone levels. For men, it addresses low testosterone symptoms such as fatigue and reduced libido by boosting testosterone. Customized to individual needs, HRT provides various delivery methods, including pellets, to enhance overall well-being and improve quality of life for both genders.

Can Hormone Replacement Therapy be used in combination weight loss programs?

Yes! Hormone Replacement Therapy can be used with a weight loss program and may enhance its effectiveness. Hormonal imbalances can affect metabolism, appetite, and fat storage, making weight loss more difficult. By correcting these imbalances with HRT, you can improve your body’s ability to lose and manage weight, supporting better results from your weight loss efforts.

Are you a candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

It is essential for all our patients to come in for a consultation to assess the patient’s medical history, risk factors, lifestyle, preferences, and treatment objectives to establish the most appropriate treatment plan.

How long do Pellets last?

Typically, pellets last approximately 3 to 4 months in women and 4 to 6 months in men. The lasting effects of the pellets depend on the patient’s metabolism and lifestyle, which may necessitate earlier insertion of pellets for some patients.

Is there any downtime with Hormone Replacement Therapy?

After pellet insertion, avoid strenuous exercise and water activities for 3 days for women and 7 days for men. This includes not taking tub baths, hot tubs, swimming pools, or ocean swims during this period. You can shower but avoid scrubbing the insertion site until it is fully healed, which typically takes about 7 days. If you experience mild tenderness or discomfort, you may use Acetaminophen/Tylenol or apply an ice pack. This minimal downtime helps ensure a smooth recovery.
