Hormones control more than you think. They play a crucial role in your overall wellness, affecting everything from mood and energy to metabolism and libido. When imbalances occur—due to aging, stress, lifestyle changes, or childbirth—they can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and disrupted sleep. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a science-backed solution designed to restore balance and optimize your body’s natural functions. At Facial Aesthetics, we offer hormone pellet therapy, a highly effective method that provides a consistent release of bioidentical hormones (testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone) that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. Unlike injections or creams, pellets are placed just beneath the skin, ensuring steady, continuous hormone release without the fluctuations often associated with other methods.
HRT is a precision-based therapy designed to restore hormonal balance by supplementing key hormones your body no longer produces at optimal levels. The process begins with comprehensive blood testing to analyze hormone deficiencies and determine the right course of treatment.
Based on your results, our Director of Wellness Nurse Practitioner will develop a personalized hormone optimization plan. Treatment options may include pellet therapy, topical creams, or injections, depending on your specific needs. Pellet therapy is a preferred method due to its ability to deliver a steady, controlled release of hormones, helping to reduce fluctuations and maintain consistent benefits over time.
HRT works by addressing symptoms at the root cause—whether it’s low energy, mood swings, weight gain, or brain fog—allowing both men and women to regain mental clarity, vitality, and overall wellness. Our goal is to help you feel and function at your best, with a tailored approach to hormonal healing and long-term well-being.
As men age, they too experience hormonal shifts, often leading to symptoms of andropause (male menopause). Fortunately, HRT can be a powerful solution to help restore youthful energy and mental clarity.
As women go through different stages of life, hormonal changes can lead to a variety of concerns. From perimenopause to menopause, the journey can sometimes feel overwhelming. Thankfully, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is here to help restore balance and vitality.
Hormone pellets are small, rice-sized implants made of bioidentical hormones like estrogen or testosterone. They are inserted under the skin and provide a steady release of hormones over several months, helping to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. A small incision is made in the skin (typically in the hip or buttock area) under local anesthesia. The pellet is inserted into the fatty tissue through a small device, and the incision is closed with tape or a small bandage.
For women, hormone pellets usually last 3-4 months, while for men, they typically last 4-6 months. The exact duration depends on individual factors like metabolism and activity level.
Hormone pellet therapy is considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified healthcare provider. Bioidentical hormones mimic your body’s natural hormones, which can reduce the risk of side effects. However, as with any treatment, there are potential risks that will be discussed during your consultation.
Some patients notice improvements within a few days, but it can take 2-4 weeks to experience the full benefits. This depends on how quickly your body adjusts to the hormones.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the hormones.
These may include:
Fluctuations in energy level
Injection that delivers a custom blend of vitamins to boost energy, support immune health, and enhance skin vitality from within.
Injectable treatments that support fat loss and boost metabolism to help you reach your weight loss goals.
