Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) at Luminess Med Spa
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment designed to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances in men and women. It involves the administration of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone to replace those that body no longer produces in sufficient quantities.
Whether you’re facing menopause, andropause or other hormonal changes, HRT can help reduce common symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood swings and reduced libido.
Additionally, it may provide benefits for heart health and bone health, reducing the risk of diseases like osteoporosis. By carefully, tailoring the therapy to the individual needs, HRT can significantly improve quality of life and overall well being for both men and women.
