Hormone Therapy
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions, acting as a communication system between cells and organs. They regulate our weight, mood, sleep, stress management and many other processes. When your hormones are out of balance, it creates a chaotic environment for your body and your brain. At Bayou Beauty, we assess your individual goals and requirements, draw labs, and curate personalized hormone replacement options for women and men. Our team of medical professionals will then select the ideal hormones for you and their dosage and administration methods.
How are they administered?
How are they administered?
Hormone replacement therapy can be administered via oral medications, injections, topical creams, or hormone-releasing subcutaneous pellets. Some of these, such as medications, injections, and creams, provide instant hormones. Meanwhile, subcutaneous pellets slowly release steady streams of hormone into your body, thus ensuring you have a stable level of hormones at all times. Hormone-releasing pellet implants are ideal for long-term hormone replacement.
Women
Hormone replacement therapy is generally recommended for women after menopause. That’s because the female body stops producing certain hormones after menopause, leading to hormone imbalances and metabolism issues. Hormone replacement for women is generally administered via subcutaneous pellets. A member of our medical team will place implants under the skin, thus ensuring you receive steady streams of the necessary hormones directly in your blood stream.
