Bioidential Hormone Replacement Therapy

As hormone levels naturally decline over time, many adults begin to notice symptoms such as persistent fatigue, reduced libido, weight gain that does not respond to diet or exercise, and disrupted sleep. Women may also experience hot flashes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness, while men and women alike may feel less focused or emotionally balanced. At SkinergyMD, our providers offer personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help restore balance and improve overall quality of life for patients throughout Southeast Michigan.

Treatment is guided by comprehensive lab testing and medical oversight to help patients feel healthier, more energized, and more like themselves again.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, commonly referred to as BHRT, uses hormones that are derived from plant sources and designed to be structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body. Because these hormones closely match the body’s own chemistry, they are more readily recognized and utilized. 

BHRT is often used to address symptoms related to menopause, perimenopause, and age-related hormonal decline in both women and men, helping to stabilize hormone levels and reduce unwanted symptoms.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormone deficiencies can affect many areas of physical and emotional health. Patients often seek BHRT due to mood changes, irritability, low energy levels, sleep difficulties, decreased sexual desire, memory concerns, joint discomfort, or stubborn weight gain. Women may experience hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, or discomfort during intimacy, while men may notice reduced muscle mass or erectile challenges. 

Because symptoms vary widely, lab testing is essential to determine whether a hormone imbalance is contributing to these concerns.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormones are designed to replace diminished hormone levels in a way that closely mimics natural hormone function. Many patients choose BHRT because these hormones are plant-derived and identical to those produced by the body, unlike synthetic alternatives that may require additional processing before absorption. 

Hormone therapy can also help to improve energy levels, mental clarity, sleep quality, mood stability, libido, and bone density.

Who Is a Candidate for BHRT?

Hormone levels can begin declining as early as the mid-twenties and continue to change over time. Adults experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance may be candidates for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, though proper lab work is the only way to determine eligibility. Our providers carefully evaluate medical history, current symptoms, and diagnostic testing before recommending treatment. Individuals with certain medical conditions may require additional evaluation prior to starting therapy to ensure safety and effectiveness..

How Hormone Pellets Are Placed

When pellet therapy is recommended, the procedure is performed quickly and comfortably in the office. A small area in the upper buttock or low hip region is numbed with a local anesthetic before a tiny incision is made to place the pellet just beneath the skin. The pellet itself is very small, roughly the size of a grain of rice. Once inserted, the incision is closed and covered, typically healing within a few days while the pellet gradually releases hormones into the body.

What Bioidentical Hormone Pellets Are Made Of

Hormone pellets contain estradiol and/or testosterone derived from plant sources such as soy or yams. The hormones are purified so that even individuals with soy sensitivities can safely receive treatment. In some cases, hormones are prepared to ensure precise dosing tailored to each patient’s lab results and clinical needs.

SkinergyMD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

Bioidentical Hormones Compared to Synthetic Hormones

Bioidentical hormones are absorbed by the body and delivered directly to hormone receptors, allowing for efficient utilization. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, often need to be altered by the body before they can be used. Because bioidentical hormones mirror the body’s natural structure, many patients find them to be more effective and better tolerated. Every patient’s hormone journey is unique, which is why treatment plans at SkinergyMD are carefully customized based on age, weight, symptoms, and laboratory findings.

Potential Side Effects of BHRT

Like all medical therapies, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may carry potential side effects. Some patients experience mild symptoms such as breast tenderness, nausea, temporary mood changes, acne, or irregular spotting during the initial adjustment period. Weight changes or changes in hair growth can also occur. Ongoing monitoring and follow-up appointments allow our providers to adjust dosing as needed, helping to reduce side effects while maintaining optimal hormone levels.
