Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using pellets involves the insertion of small, biodegradable pellets under the skin. These pellets release hormones consistently over time, mimicking the body's natural hormone release. At Fulcrum Aesthetics in Chicago, we offer pellet therapy as an effective and convenient option for maintaining hormone balance.
Candidates for HRT include individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, decreased libido, and more. Both men and women can benefit from HRT. Our Chicago-based specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if HRT is right for you.
HRT can be administered in various forms, including pellets, injections, creams, gels, and patches. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, we tailor the administration method to suit your preferences and medical needs. For pellet therapy, the procedure is quick and minimally invasive, involving the insertion of pellets under the skin in our Chicago clinic.
Results from HRT can vary, but many patients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks. Symptoms such as increased energy, improved mood, and enhanced physical health often start to manifest as hormone levels stabilize. Our team in Chicago will monitor your progress at 6 weeks by conducting a second lab panel to ensure your levels have been optimized and may adjust your treatment as needed.
As with any medical treatment, HRT can have side effects. Common side effects include mild irritation at the injection site, mood swings, and changes in weight. Our Chicago-based medical team will discuss potential side effects with you and provide strategies to manage them effectively.
Hormone replacement therapy is generally considered safe when administered and monitored by experienced healthcare professionals. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, we prioritize patient safety and use the latest protocols to ensure optimal outcomes. Regular follow-ups and adjustments are part of our comprehensive care approach.
Insurance coverage for HRT can vary depending on your provider and plan. While we do not accept insurance at Fulcrum, we recommend contacting your insurance company to verify potential coverage options.
HRT can aid in weight loss by addressing hormonal imbalances that contribute to weight gain. By optimizing hormone levels, patients often experience improved metabolism and energy levels, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight. Our Chicago-based specialists will develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
If you stop HRT, your body will gradually return to its pre-treatment hormonal state, and symptoms of hormonal imbalance may reoccur. It's important to discuss any changes in your treatment plan with our medical team in Chicago to ensure a safe and effective transition.
