What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at Alchemy Wellness Medspa uses synthetic hormones, which are just like those your body naturally produces, to reduce bothersome symptoms associated with hormone imbalance. These synthetic hormones boost low levels in your body to help you look your best.

A board-certified gynecologist at Alchemy Wellness Medspa, who is highly trained in bioidentical topical treatments and pellet therapy, customizes each hormone treatment. Topical hormone treatments are those you apply to your skin, such as creams and gels.

Your provider might place hormone pellets beneath your skin, usually in your upper buttocks, allowing them to release a steady amount of hormones throughout your body over time.

Is bioidentical hormone therapy right for me?

You may be a candidate for hormone therapy at Alchemy Wellness Medspa after your provider reviews your symptoms and medical history. They complete a physical exam, check your vital signs, and use blood tests to determine if your hormones are balanced.

What should I expect during my treatment?

You may receive prescription creams, gels, or subdermal pellets during bioidentical hormone therapy. Rub the creams or gels on your skin as directed by your specialist. During pellet implantation, they insert tiny pellets beneath the skin near your upper buttocks and replace the pellets every few months or so.

Your Alchemy Wellness Medspa provider monitors your hormone levels over time using blood tests. They check in with you periodically to ensure your hormone treatment works as it should.
