Hormone depletion is a naturally occurring consequence of aging. As such, many women and men over the age of 35 suffer from some level of hormonal imbalance. A helpful way to determine if hormone therapy can alleviate your symptoms of aging and help you feel like a younger version of yourself is by taking the quiz below.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Hormonal imbalance in women can happen at any age. However, it is most prevalent in women over the age of 35 as they undergo perimenopause and menopause. A significant portion of “age-related” issues that plague women can be attributed to depleting hormone levels, specifically depleted oestrogen (estrogen,) progesterone, and even testosterone.

Hormonal imbalance can significantly impair your standard of living and make you feel much older than you are. Symptoms of hormone imbalance in women include trouble sleeping, weight gain, hair loss or hair thinning, vaginal dryness and atrophy, painful intercourse, hot flashes or night sweats, thinning skin, fine lines and wrinkles, cognitive impairment or poor memory, increased risk of disease, and a higher mortality rate.

How Much Does HRT Cost?

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is customized to meet the specific needs of each patient. Therefore, HRT cost varies per individual. During your consultation, we will discuss prices in detail. We will also share more ways to save on hormone treatments and detail available financing options.

What Are Bioidentical Hormones?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) utilizes hormones that are chemically identical to testosterone, estrogen, or other hormones produced by the body. Because Bioidentical hormones share the same molecular makeup of our own hormones, many people refer to BHRT as natural hormone therapy.

BHRT with BioTE

To ensure patients receive the highest quality treatment during their Hormone therapy, Dr. Tajkarimi provides BHRT using pellets from BioTE Medical. The renowned medical training company is an industry leader in hormone optimization, and the only nutraceutical line explicitly formulated to improve hormone health.

Hormone Pellet Therapy

Hormones may be administered via injections, topical creams, transdermal patches, or hormone pellets. Most hormone specialists recommend hormone pellets above other methods of administration. Pellets consist of a bioidentical hormone, concentrated down to a pellet the size of a tic-tac. The pellets are specially designed to slowly release a consistent amount of hormone over a prolonged time. Typically, pellets last between 3 to 5 months.

Pellets provide a better delivery system than other methods of HRT in several ways.

  • Fast, painless procedure

  • No downtime

  • Convenient (no injections, gels, patches, or creams to deal with)

  • Consistent release of hormones

  • Customized dosing

  • Long-lasting effect

  • Requires fewer office visits

Before your Hormone Replacement Therapy, Dr. Tajkarimi performs a blood test to customize your hormone pellet towards your specific needs. Once formulated, Dr. Tajkarimi implants the pellet subcutaneously (beneath the fatty layer of skin) near the hip. Local anesthetic ensures the placement of the implant is comfortable and pain-free. The procedure typically takes 15-minutes to complete.
