Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

A hormone imbalance can drastically reduce your quality of life and lead to serious health concerns. However, when treating a hormone imbalance, it’s important to identify the root cause and develop the safest and most effective treatment plan. 

Advanced Practice Aesthetics is your partner in uncovering a hormone imbalance and designing a treatment tailored to your lifestyle and needs. Integrating bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is one of the safest options, often with fewer side effects than non-bioidentical hormone therapy treatments. 

Book a consultation with our nurse practitioners at our main clinic in Hopkins to see if BHRT therapy is a good choice for you.

What Is BHRT & How Does It Work? 

When the body stops producing the right amount of a specific hormone, such as estrogen or testosterone, hormone replacement therapy can help replenish and maintain natural production levels. 

Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapy, which often uses synthetic hormones, BHRT therapy uses bioidentical hormones derived from natural sources. These hormones are an exact structural match to your own hormones. 

Because of this, bioidentical hormones are more likely to fit into your body’s hormone receptors. This often reduces side effects and enhances the effectiveness of the treatment for patients. 

Our nurse professionals use hormone pellet therapy as the delivery method because it improves the efficacy and outcomes for our patients.

Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy

Our providers prefer using EvexiPEL hormone pellet therapy for BHRT therapy for their safety and efficacy. Our patients have enjoyed all of these additional benefits:

  • Ease of Use and Convenience: During a short, regularly scheduled visit, the hormone pellets are inserted under the top layer of skin; no daily pills, creams, or gels are required. The treatment occurs only two to four times per year.
  • Releases Naturally: The hormone pellets dissolve slowly and release the right amount of hormone to support your body's needs. Compared to other delivery methods, you receive steady, consistent dosing.
  • Better, More Natural Absorption: Because the hormone pellets are placed under the skin, they are absorbed more naturally and delivered throughout the body by cardiac output.
  • Reduced Side Effects: Each EvexiPEL pellet is custom-compounded to be structurally identical to your body’s natural hormones. This allows your body to more easily adapt to the supplement, increases the speed and effectiveness of the treatment, and reduces the chance of side effects usually associated with HRT.
How Are Hormone Pellets Implanted?

Our providers make BHRT treatments quick and easy. The hormone pellets are implanted at our office in a 15-minute procedure.

The process begins with cleaning a small area on the hip or buttock, followed by administering a local anesthetic to ensure the site is thoroughly numbed. Via a minor incision, the appropriate number of pellets is skillfully inserted into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin.

Afterward, a sterile dressing is applied, and patients receive guidance to ice the implantation site and keep it dry for several days. Most individuals generally regarded the procedure as efficient, straightforward, and pain-free.

What Are Hormone Pellets Made Of?

Bioidentical hormone pellets are specially crafted by a pharmacist based on our specifications. These pellets often include plant-derived hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or DHEA, designed to closely mimic the hormones naturally produced by your body.

Additionally, the pellets consist of inactive components, such as binding and lubricating agents like stearic acid or cholesterol. The precise composition and dosage are tailored to suit your individual requirements.

Safety of Pellet Hormone Therapy & BHRT

Hormone pellets have a long history of use. They are largely seen as a safe delivery method with mild and temporary complications, such as redness, bleeding, dermatitis, and scarring at the implantation site.

Serious complications are rare, with pellet extrusion occurring in less than 1% of cases. Over 90% of patients continue using hormone pellets after their initial treatment.

Proper aftercare, like applying an ice pack and keeping the site dry, is essential to avoid side effects.

To further reduce complications, our providers can use pellets with a low dose of triamcinolone, a corticosteroid that minimizes scar tissue and pellet extrusions, reduces booster doses for new patients, and enhances consistent hormone absorption for quicker symptom relief.

Estrogen Therapy

Numerous symptoms experienced by women with hormonal imbalances are linked to decreases in estrogen levels. Insufficient estrogen can lead to diminished libido, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

Our providers offer estrogen replacement therapy with bioidentical hormone pellets as an effective solution for addressing estrogen imbalances.

Often, bioidentical estrogen therapy combined with bioidentical progesterone and testosterone provides comprehensive symptom relief and aids in reducing the risk of diseases.

Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone therapy is beneficial for managing hormone imbalance symptoms in both men and women. Widely recognized as the "male hormone," testosterone is also crucial for female health and well-being.

It contributes to maintaining a healthy weight, supports brain functions, benefits cardiovascular health, and enhances sexual function and desire. Low testosterone levels in either gender can result in unwelcome symptoms, making everyday tasks challenging.

This deficiency can lead to constant fatigue, reduced focus, impaired memory, loss of muscle tone, and decreased libido.

Using EvexiPEL bioidentical hormone pellets through our providers, testosterone hormone therapy is an effective treatment for addressing low testosterone in both men and women.

Additional Nutraceutical Supplements

Balancing hormones requires more than just hormone therapy; it involves ensuring your body receives sufficient nutrients to maintain its peak condition. Even ideal diets may not fulfill all nutritional needs.

Our professional practitioners provide a comprehensive range of pharmaceutical-grade supplements crafted by top experts with premium ingredients. These supplements are designed to maximize absorption and supply your body with essentials for optimal performance, including enhancing metabolic functions and supporting hormone health.

How Our BHRT Program Works

Our providers take your overall and hormonal health very seriously. You will need to book a lab appointment to determine whether you are a good candidate for our bioidentical hormone replacement program.

At that appointment, we will book a follow-up appointment one week later for a consultation and review of your labs. If you qualify and choose to proceed, you will receive a hormone pellet treatment that day.

You may then return in five weeks for follow-up labs to ensure the treatment is working safely and effectively with no side effects.

Continual BHRT Treatments

Our BHRT program requires pellet treatments every 3-4 months for women and every 5-6 months for men.

Labs are done annually to ensure the efficacy of the treatment.
