It’s Time to Feel Like Yourself Again

For women, low hormone levels can lead to a variety of common conditions that can impact overall health and wellness. These conditions include fatigue, irritability, weight gain, and decreased libido.

We offer a range of treatments to restore and maintain optimal hormonal balance, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. This treatment can relieve uncomfortable symptoms, improving overall health and well-being.

Is Hormone Replacement Therapy Right for Me?

Typical signs of hormonal imbalance include loss of libido, vaginal dryness, difficulty achieving orgasm, and decreased intensity of orgasms. Additionally, if you're going through perimenopause or menopause, you may also encounter the following symptoms:

Hot flashes and night sweats
Mood swings
Low energy and fatigue
Insomnia
Excessive weight gain despite a healthy diet

The Impact of Estrogen Imbalance on Women's Health and Well-being

Hormonal imbalances in women, particularly in regards to estrogen, can cause a range of symptoms in various body systems. Low estrogen levels can reduce collagen production, resulting in thinner, drier skin that appears older and more wrinkled. Declining estrogen levels can also impact cognitive function, leading to difficulty focusing and concentrating, commonly referred to as brain fog or memory loss. Insufficient levels of estrogen can also cause rapid-onset osteoporosis. Estrogen promotes new bone growth and slows bone deterioration, so low estrogen levels can lead to less bone growth and increased chances of osteoporosis due to brittle and weak bones.

Start with a Consultation

If you're experiencing symptoms related to low hormone levels, a quick test can determine if hormone replacement therapy can help you regain the energy, vitality, and overall wellness you deserve. Based on the results of these tests, your reported symptoms, and your health goals, we'll conduct a comprehensive analysis of your health to prescribe a personalized healthcare plan tailored to your needs. During your consultation, you’ll meet with our board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Adam Hamawy in our Princeton offices. We encourage you to ask questions to help you feel confident in your decision to alleviate the adverse effects of the aging process through hormone replacement therapy.

How It Works

Progesterone is commonly prescribed as a pill, cream, or capsule, while cream or gel is the most frequently prescribed form of oral estrogen. However, all forms of hormone replacement therapy require frequent administration to maintain consistent physiologic levels in your system. Creams and gels may need to be applied multiple times daily, while transdermal patches can have difficulty reaching an adequate dose and may have trouble sticking for those with an active lifestyle. Weekly or biweekly injections can result in hormone levels with high peaks and low troughs, which can be physically and emotionally uncomfortable.

Unlike traditional injections, creams, gels, and patches, pellets provide consistent and steady hormone supplementation without requiring frequent administration. This sustainable delivery method involves inserting pellets into the upper part of the buttocks every three to six months. The pellets contain tailored levels of estradiol or testosterone based on your body's needs. Your system slowly metabolizes them over four months. The slow and steady release of bioidentical hormones is the most natural method that simulates your body's natural hormone secretion, circumventing the uncomfortable side effects of fluctuating hormone levels from other treatment methods.

Recovery and Results

The recovery period for hormone replacement therapy is typically minimal, with little to no downtime required. For hormone pellet therapy, patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it's essential to avoid any strenuous physical activity for the first few days to allow the incision site to heal properly.

It's important to note that the specific results of female hormone replacement therapy may vary depending on the individual's unique needs and goals. Typically, our clients report:
