In short: Hormone replacement therapy uses bioidentical pellets, made from plant materials with the same molecular structure as the body's own hormones, to treat menopause and low-testosterone symptoms. At Results Medical Aesthetics & Wellness in Tulsa, a pellet is inserted near the hip and lasts three to five months before a follow-up is needed.
As both men and women age, our hormones can change, leading to all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms. In women, it’s usually menopause, while men normally experience lower testosterone levels than they are used to. That’s where hormone replacement therapy comes in. With one simple pellet, we can address any hormonal imbalance issues you’re struggling with.
But what exactly is hormone replacement therapy, and how does it work? Let’s take a look!
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to help both men and women address hormonal imbalances and changes that tend to come with growing older. Whether you’re going through menopause and experiencing the uncomfortable symptoms that often come with it, or you’re struggling with a decrease in testosterone levels and noticing sexual or physical changes, hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormone pellets can be a great treatment option for you.
How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
At Results Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we use bioidentical hormone replacement pellets made of organic plant materials. They have the same molecular structure as the hormones found in your body.
The pellet is inserted near your hip, and then the body gradually absorbs the hormones, allowing you to see results almost immediately. Once the pellet is inserted, you can go back to your regular routine immediately. Your body and the pellet will do the work for you.
The pellets last anywhere from three to five months, so you’ll want to schedule a follow-up appointment around that time to ensure you maintain your results.
What hormones are being delivered via the pellet will depend on a number of factors, including your symptoms and gender.
