What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment designed to support hormone balance by supplementing essential hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone for those experiencing hormonal imbalances. This therapy can help alleviate symptoms associated with these imbalances, supporting overall health and well-being.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a personalized approach by using plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those the body naturally produces. BHRT includes tailored forms of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, customized to each individual’s needs by pharmacists for precise hormonal balance.

Potential Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

BHRT may offer various benefits, potentially improving quality of life and alleviating symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, including:

• Enhanced mood and libido
• Relief from hot flashes and vaginal dryness
• Support for bone density and skin elasticity
• Improvement in muscle mass

BHRT at DermaLuxe Medical in Deerfield Beach, FL

At DermaLuxe Medical, we focus on a safe, customized approach to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, prioritizing each patient’s unique health needs for balanced hormone support.

Comprehensive Initial Assessment

Our process begins with a thorough assessment, including screening for risks related to breast, uterine, and cervical health. We review genetic background, family history, and current cancer screenings (mammograms, ultrasounds, PAP smears). If BHRT is recommended, we conduct detailed blood tests to assess estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA levels, allowing us to tailor treatment to each patient’s needs.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support

Patient safety is our priority. After starting BHRT, we schedule regular follow-ups in person or through telehealth to monitor hormone levels and adjust dosages as needed. These assessments, conducted approximately every 3–4 months, help maintain safe and effective hormone balance.

BHRT Delivery Options

We offer several BHRT delivery methods to accommodate personal preferences and ensure optimal absorption:

• Hormone Creams/Gels: Applied topically for convenient, non-invasive absorption.
• Hormone Troches: Dissolved under the tongue, allowing direct bloodstream absorption.
• Hormone Pellets: Implanted under the skin for a consistent, long-lasting release of hormones.
