What is HRT?
Hormone Replacement Therapy is a systemic technique to combat the effects of age. The human body performs countless internal functions every second, and hormones facilitate the vital progress of these processes.
As we age, we may have more difficulty maintaining healthy bones, muscle mass, and libido. HRT could be the perfect boost your body needs to support its natural capabilities.

Treatment details
There have been vast advances in the fields of HRT and BHRT over recent years. Gone are the days of troublesome gels and creams. We utilize the pellet and injection methods for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Pellet Therapy
Our health care team utilizes pellet therapy, guaranteeing a consistent physiological release without the roller coaster effects of the aforementioned methods. Depending on your eligibility and needs, the doctor will insert small pellets the size of a grain of rice in the hip area (1-2 for women and 2-10 for men). These customized pellets contain estrogen and/or testosterone for women, and testosterone for men with the occasional estrogen blocker.
Intramuscular (IM) Injections
IM injections offer a variety of advantages. They are safer than topical therapies because they minimize the risk of unintentionally transferring testosterone to others. IM injections last for two weeks, so there’s no need for constant application, as with creams. Injections flow directly into the bloodstream, so they are an efficient means of hormone delivery. You will start noticing the benefits of your therapy within 24 to 48 hours of administration.
