What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves the administration of hormones to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause. In women, it aims to replenish estrogen and progesterone levels to reduce symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. HRT can also protect against osteoporosis and heart disease. At Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, we offer personalized hormone replacement therapy in San Carlos to restore your optimal hormone balance and enhance your overall well-being. We can prescribe topicals (creams or patch), oral medications, and pellet therapy to best suit your lifestyle and goals.

How does hormone replacement therapy work?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) works by supplementing your body with estrogen and, sometimes, progesterone to compensate for the decline in these hormones during menopause. Estrogen receptors in various tissues, such as the brain, bones, skin, and cardiovascular system, respond to these hormones, which alleviates symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Estrogen also plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density and skin health. By restoring optimal hormone levels, hormone replacement therapy in San Carlos can improve your overall quality of life during and after menopause.

During your consultation at Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, a medical history will be taken to understand your unique health profile and symptoms. The medical team will discuss your specific needs and goals and develop a personalized HRT plan. They will explain the different hormone formulations available and help you choose the best option for your situation.

Once you begin hormone replacement therapy, you will receive regular monitoring to ensure the treatment is effective and to make any necessary adjustments. Your progress will be closely tracked through follow-up appointments, blood tests, and ongoing evaluations. The goal is to balance your hormone levels, alleviate symptoms, and improve your overall well-being.
