Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause

Are you experiencing persistent symptoms like low energy, fatigue, brain fog, confusion, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, or low libido? You're not alone. Many women find themselves struggling with these issues as they age, often unaware that hormonal imbalances could be at the root of their discomfort. Fortunately, there's a solution that can balance your hormones without the side effects associated with oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT): bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

BHRT has been revolutionary for countless women. Offering a safe and effective way to restore hormonal balance, alleviate troublesome symptoms, and optimize health in women who are in perimenopause or menopause.

Studio R Aesthetics is committed to providing patients with the best possible experience when they come to us for BHRT. We provide a personalized treatment plan that balances hormones, minimizes symptoms, and ensures long-term health.

Balance Your Hormones

And Stop Suffering From Perimenopause Or Menopause

What to expect with our BHRT program

Step 1: Initial Hormone Consultation

A specialized provider will review your medical history and labs will be ordered to evaluate hormone levels, thyroid, electrolytes, blood count, and vitamin levels.

Step 2: Lab Review & Customized Hormone Treatment Plan

Your provider will review your lab results and provide next steps. This includes recommended hormones, doses, and administration options (pellets, pills, creams, or patches).

Step 3: Maintenance

Follow-up visits and labs vary based on the therapy chosen. For pellets, you'll need office visits every 3-4 months; for prescriptions, follow-ups occur as recommended by your provider. Adjustments can be made anytime to ensure your hormone levels remain optimal.

Understanding Hormonal Imbalances in Women

Hormones play a crucial role in virtually every aspect of a woman's health, influencing everything from mood and energy levels to metabolism and libido. However, as women age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to imbalances that can manifest in a variety of unpleasant symptoms classically associated with perimenopause and menopause.

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the primary hormones that regulate women's reproductive health and overall well-being. When these hormones become imbalanced, it can result in a range of symptoms, including:

  • Low energy and fatigue
  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
  • Mood swings and irritability
  • Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
  • Low libido and sexual dysfunction
  • Insomnia and sleep disturbances

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to recognize that you don't have to suffer. Hormone replacement therapy offers a safe and effective approach to balancing your hormones, optimizing health, and restoring your vitality.

The Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Hormone replacement therapy can provide a wide range of benefits for women struggling with hormonal imbalances. Some of the most notable advantages include:

Increased Energy and Vitality

By restoring hormone levels to their optimal range, BHRT can help boost your energy levels, reduce fatigue, and enhance overall vitality.

Improved Mood and Mental Clarity

Hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc on your mood and cognitive function, leading to symptoms like brain fog, confusion, and irritability. BHRT can help stabilize your mood and sharpen your mental clarity, allowing you to feel more focused and emotionally balanced.

Weight Management

Hormonal imbalances can make it challenging to maintain a healthy weight, especially as you age. BHRT can support weight management efforts by optimizing hormone levels and promoting metabolic function. BHRT compliments our weight loss treatment program with semaglutide.

Enhanced Libido and Sexual Function

Many women experience a decline in libido and sexual satisfaction due to hormonal changes. BHRT can help rejuvenate your sex drive, improve lubrication, and enhance overall sexual function, allowing you to enjoy a more fulfilling intimate life.

Better Sleep Quality

Hormonal imbalances can disrupt your sleep patterns and contribute to insomnia and sleep disturbances often associated with perimenopause and menopause. BHRT can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle, promote restful sleep, and improve overall sleep quality.

Protection Against Bone Loss and Osteoporosis

Declining estrogen levels can increase your risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. BHRT can help preserve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures and osteoporotic complications.

Introducing Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets

One of the most popular and effective forms of HRT for women is bio-identical hormone pellet therapy (BHRT). These tiny pellets, typically made from natural plant sources like soy or yams, contain bio-identical hormones that are molecularly identical to those produced by the human body.

Bio-identical hormone pellets offer several advantages over other forms of hormone replacement therapy, including:

  • Consistent Hormone Delivery: Unlike oral medications or topical creams, which can result in fluctuations in hormone levels, bio-identical hormone pellets provide a steady, sustained release of hormones into the bloodstream, ensuring consistent symptom relief.
  • Convenience and Longevity: Bio-identical hormone pellets are implanted subcutaneously during a simple in-office procedure and can last for several months, eliminating the need for daily hormone administration and frequent doctor visits.
  • Customized Dosage: The dosage of bio-identical hormone pellets can be customized to meet your individual needs, allowing for personalized treatment and optimal symptom relief.

“You will feel more like a friend rather than a patient.”

"I went to see Dr. Segura, and she is absolutely amazing! I haven’t had filler or Botox in a couple of years, and this was my first time seeing Dr. Segura and coming to Studio R. She listened to my concerns, and her attention to detail and knowledge is everything you can ask for and more. I got lip filler, as well as some Botox, and it is by far the best experience I have had getting it done. Highly recommend Dr. Segura and Studio R!"

–S.L., Charlottesville, VA, Botox and lip filler patient.
