Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Bioidental hormone replacement therapy at Paramount Health Directions uses EvexiPEL pellets that are inserted under the skin to release hormones into your body gradually over time. This treatment increases estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, or other hormones — depending on which your body is deficient in. Hormone therapy restores balance to eliminate undesirable symptoms. 

Which symptoms can bioidentical hormone replacement therapy reduce?

Symptoms of hormone imbalance include:

• Fatigue
• Weight gain
• Low sex drive
• Erectile dysfunction (ED) in men
• Vaginal dryness in women
• Thinning hair 
• Skin changes
• Slowed metabolism
• Loss of muscle
• Increased body fat
• Depression 

Hormone problems affect both women and men, particularly those over 40, but bioidentical hormone replacement therapy restores their overall health and well-being.

What are the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone therapy offers the exceptional quality of life you deserve at every age.

Am I a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

The Paramount Health Directions team completes a physical exam, discusses your symptoms and medical history, and orders lab testing to establish your current hormone levels. If you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, they tailor a plan that suits your needs. 

How does bioidentical hormone replacement therapy work?

Your Paramount Health Directions provider numbs a small section of your upper buttocks, makes a tiny incision, inserts bioidentical pellets under the skin, and closes the incision with medical tape. The procedure is minimally invasive, quick, and painless. 

Over time, your body absorbs the pellets. Their effects typically last about 3-4 months in women and 5-6 months in men. After the pellet hormone activity wears off, simply return to the Paramount Health Directions office and receive additional pellets to maintain proper hormone balance.

The practice also provides psychiatric treatments, aesthetics services, medical weight loss, nutrition therapy, dietary supplements, and more to improve your wellness journey.
