Hormone Replacement Therapy
As people age, hormone levels (Testosterone, Estrogen, & Progesterone) made naturally in the body begin to diminish. At 518 Medspa, we treat low hormone levels for both men and women using Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Our process begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation and bloodwork to assess current hormone levels. Next we will develop a customized treatment plan that includes a prescription for a bioidentical hormone injection delivered directly to your home for self-administration. We will provide ongoing monitoring of your treatment plan to ensure a safe and effective therapy regimen.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Testosterone, Estrogen, and Progesterone are hormones that regulate things like sex drive, bone density, muscle mass and growth, and mood. They’re an important part of the body’s endocrine system. Bioidentical Hormones are medically developed in a laboratory and are engineered to be chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced in the body. As a result, people who suffer from low hormone symptoms can benefit from BHRT. Each persons treatment is individualized and based upon their unique needs.
BHRT can come in multiple forms: pellets installed subcutaneously, weekly or bi-weekly injections, and creams. At 518 Medspa, we prefer injections for a few reasons. While pellets only require one procedure and lasts a few months, they lack the flexibility to adjust the prescribed dosage through monitoring of testosterone levels. Injections allow this flexibility while also providing quicker results and a more precise dosage as compared to topical creams.
Could you benefit from BHRT?
Men and women’s natural levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone decrease over time due to age. Other factors can also contribute including stress, environmental factors, physical trauma, drug or alcohol use, etc. Benefits of BHRT can include:
- Increased energy
- Improved libido & sexual function
- Improved muscle mass and bone density
- Better Mood
- Weight management
- Improved cognitive function, memory, & concentration
- Better sleep
