Our bodies produce fewer hormones as we age, making us feel less like our younger, more energetic selves. A lack of natural hormones can also cause many issues affecting daily life, especially having less energy, more irritability, and overall negative physical and emotional challenges.
It can be frustrating when your body doesn’t function like it used to, even if you’re otherwise in good health. If you feel lackluster in your regular routine, with everything from sleep to sexual drive affected, your hormones may be out of balance. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at Capitis Medical and Aesthetics can help bring the pep back in your step, improving your mood, physical function, and self-confidence for a rejuvenated, happier you.
Bioidentical hormones help patients who have either low or imbalanced hormones and are experiencing related symptoms such as:
- Low energy
- Reduced sexual drive and performance
- Imbalanced mood
- Difficulty concentrating
- Inexplicable weight gain
- Insomnia
- Osteoporosis
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are synthetically identical hormones to the ones our own body produces naturally. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the most commonly used bioidentical hormones.
The body’s endocrine system naturally produces hormones that serve many functions and affect different processes, such as growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, reproduction, and mood. These functions can be adversely affected when these hormones are out of balance.
Low-level or imbalanced hormones can make you feel older than you are and can adversely affect how you go about your daily life. When one system is not functioning correctly, it can be hard to maintain your usual pace and outlook.
What Are the Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
There are many types of manufactured hormones available, but bioidentical hormones are the most effective and closest to the natural hormones found in the body. Bioidentical hormones are created in a lab and come in many forms for different applications. These hormones are chemically identical to the ones your body makes, so they are easily absorbed and processed.
A detailed treatment plan from Dr. Crose at Capitis Medical Aesthetics can help you feel, look, and function like your younger, healthy self.

When Will I See the Results of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
The results of your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may vary from patient to patient. Some people may see mild relief from symptoms within a few weeks, but in most cases, it takes a few months to see the full results of hormone therapy.
How Much Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Cost?
The cost of your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy will vary depending on the treatment plan Dr. Crose creates for your specific needs and goals, including the type of bioidentical hormone application you choose.
How Long Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Recovery?
There is little to no downtime and a few days of some restricted activities with SottoPelle pellet therapy associated with bioidentical hormone replacement. You will be able to resume your daily activities almost immediately following treatment.
Patients who undergo injections for their hormone replacement may see some redness or minor swelling around the injection site, but this should subside within a few hours.
Am I a Candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy candidates should be in generally good health with low or imbalanced hormone levels. Patients experiencing adverse symptoms due to menopause or andropause may also be ideal candidates.
It is vital that you have thorough hormone testing before treatment. Your physician will need to assess how your natural hormones function to create the ideal prescription of bioidentical hormone replacement.
If hormones are even slightly imbalanced, be it naturally or through a new treatment, you may experience undesirable side effects. Additionally, patients with the following conditions should not take bioidentical hormones:
- Blood clotting disorders
- Heart or cardiovascular disease
- Breast cancer or those with an increased risk for cancer
- Stroke
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can improve symptoms of low or imbalanced hormones, allowing patients to live longer—and better.

How Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Performed?
Before starting bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, you must undergo comprehensive lab testing to assess your current hormone production and isolate any imbalances and deficiencies. Once your hormone levels have been determined, you will have a consultation with Dr. Crose to discuss your concerns and goals and to create a treatment plan that will detail the dosage and type of bioidentical hormone replacement that will work best for you.
Depending on the form of hormones you are prescribed, you may be injected in the office or be given a prescription for your medication.
