Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Miami, FL

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement

Call our Miami office at (813) 855-0111 to schedule your consultation.

Through the body’s natural lifespan, hormone levels naturally rise and fall. Hormones peak during adolescence and early adulthood, often reaching full maturity in the 30s and then beginning the process of decline. Many individuals experience an acute turning point when the body’s natural hormones begin to reduce in an unstable pattern. While this is a natural part of aging, there’s no need to experience the downsides of reduced hormones for many years.

Miami Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in Miami, FL, can rejuvenate energy, vitality, strength, and libido starting as early as the 30s. Reduction in hormones is often misdiagnosed as depression or ADD, but in reality, many people can maintain their best selves with the help of hormone maintenance through BHRT treatments tailored to the unique optimal hormone balance for their body.

You can find bioidentical HRT in Miami, Florida, right here at Arviv Medical Aesthetics in Miami.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical HRT or BHRT is the administering of natural hormones that match the hormones and hormonal balance produced by your body at its peak. After a personal analysis, bioidentical hormones are formulated from natural sources like yams and soy in a compound pharmacy to match what your body naturally produces. This results in up to a 98% match compared to the 7% match typical of synthetic HRT.

Benefits of Bioidentical HRT

Your body’s natural hormones play a vital role in the health and wellness of every biological system, from your bones and joints to sexual desire. Bioidentical HRT in Miami, FL, can help to restore your body’s ability to remain vital, energetic, and even mentally focused by restoring your natural hormonal balance.

  • Minimizing menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats
  • Increased sexual desire ability
  • Lowered risk of age-related health issues like osteoporosis, thyroid issues, and cancer

Hormone Balance

Hormone balance is crucial for overall well-being. These hormones play important and diverse roles in your body. They can assist with pain relief, regulate body temperature and blood pressure, improve heart health, maintain elasticity, improve insulin sensitivity, and maintain your memory – among many other benefits.

Hormones improve muscle tone and core energy, act as an anti-depressant, reduce body fat, prevent bone density loss, boost confidence, and increase sexual desire, along with many other advantages when properly balanced.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Experience

What should you expect from hormone replacement therapy in Miami? At Arviv Medical Aesthetics, we offer a personalized treatment program for Hormone Pellet Therapy.

 

This is the ideal method for bioidentical HRT. The pellet, about the size of a tic-tac, contains natural hormones that have been derived from plants to match your body’s natural hormone balance. The pellet is placed under your skin and provides a long-term time-release of balanced hormones for 4-6 months. This ensures a steady hormone level that rejuvenates and energizes you as your body regains its healthiest hormonal balance with no ups and downs of traditional hormone therapy.

The pellet injection is a fast and painless procedure using local anesthesia with zero downtime.

Where these Hormones Come From

Natural (or bio-identical) hormones are exclusively derived from converting plant compounds into molecular compounds that are the same as what the human body makes. The compounds are a 98 percent bio-identical match for hormones like 17-beta-estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone. That 98 percent match compares to only a 6 percent to 8 percent match for synthetic hormones.

Before you begin bio-identical hormone therapy, your hormone levels with be taken and evaluated. In four to six weeks after you begin therapy, your hormone levels will be re-evaluated. Then again in three to five months. After your first year, your hormone levels will be evaluated less frequently.

Please call us to schedule a consultation to help you start your journey into HRT in Miami, FL. We can help you navigate this next step in your life so that you feel great and keep enjoying life. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Benefits of Estrogen

Estrogen is a female hormone that is produced in the ovaries.  Your body has receptor cites for estrogen everywhere including in your brain, muscles, bones, bladder, gut, uterus, ovaries, vagina, breasts, eyes, heart, lungs, and blood vessels.  Estrogen has over 400 crucial functions in your body.  It regulates your body temperature, helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease, helps prevent muscle damage and maintain muscles, helps regulate your blood pressure, enhances your energy, improves your mood and increases your sexual interest.

Other Functions of Estrogen in Your Body

  • Acts as a natural calcium blocker to keep your arteries open

Benefits of Testosterone

Testosterone falls into a class of hormones called “androgens.”  Androgens are commonly referred to as “male” hormones, but they are present in women as well.  The reason they are called male is because the human characteristics they stimulate and control are considered to be masculine characteristics.

Testosterone is made in the adrenal glands and ovaries.  For more women as they age, the ovaries produce less testosterone.  Of this testosterone, only one percent is free, meaning it is available for the body to use.  The rest is bound to sex-hormone binding globulin.  Women who have increased levels of androgens have higher levels of free testosterone.

Other Functions of Testosterone in your Body

  • Decreases bone deterioration
  • Decreases excess body fat
  • Elevates norepinephrine in the brain (has the same effect as taking an antidepressant)
  • Helps maintain memory
  • Increases muscle mass and strength
  • Increases muscle tone (so your skin doesn’t sag)
  • Increases sense of emotional well-being, self-confidence, and motivation
  • Increases sexual interest (86 percent of women say they experience a decrease in sexual interest with menopause)

Causes of Testosterone Deficiency:

  • Adrenal stress or burnout
  • Birth control pills
  • Chemotherapy
  • Childbirth
  • Cholesterol-lowering medications
  • Depression
  • Endometriosis
  • Menopause
  • Psychological trauma
  • Surgical menopause

WHAT MIGHT OCCUR AFTER A PELLET INSERTION

A significant hormonal transition will occur in the first four weeks after the insertion of your hormone pellets. Therefore, certain changes might develop that can be bothersome.

  • FLUID RETENTION: Testosterone stimulates the muscle to grow and retain water, which may result in a weight change of two to five pounds. This is only temporary. This happens frequently with the first insertion, and especially during hot, humid weather conditions.
  • SWELLING OF THE HANDS & FEET: This is common in hot and humid weather. It may be treated by drinking lots of water, reducing your salt intake, taking cider vinegar capsules daily, (found at most health and food stores) or by taking a mild diuretic, which the office can prescribe.
  • UTERINE SPOTTING/BLEEDING: This may occur in the first few months after an insertion, especially if you have been prescribed progesterone and are not taking properly: i.e. missing doses, or not taking a high enough dose. Please notify the office if this occurs. Bleeding is not necessarily an indication of a significant uterine problem. More than likely, the uterus may be releasing tissue that needs to be eliminated. This tissue may have already been present in your uterus prior to getting pellets and is being released in response to the increase in hormones.
  • MOOD SWINGS/IRRITABILITY: These may occur if you were quite deficient in hormones. They will disappear when enough hormones are in your system. 5HTP can be helpful for this temporary symptom and can be purchased at many health food stores.
  • FACIAL BREAKOUT: Some pimples may arise if the body is very deficient in testosterone. This lasts a short period of time and can be handled with a good face cleansing routine, astringents and toner. If these solutions do not help, please call the office for suggestions and possibly prescriptions.
  • HAIR LOSS: Is rare and usually occurs in patients who convert testosterone to DHT. Dosage adjustment generally reduces or eliminates the problem. Prescription medications may be necessary in rare cases.
  • HAIR GROWTH: Testosterone may stimulate some growth of hair on your chin, chest, nipples and/or lower abdomen. This tends to be hereditary. You may also have to shave your legs and arms more often. Dosage adjustment generally reduces or eliminates the problem.

Nutraceuticals

Optimize your bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy with specially formulated BioTE® Nutraceuticals! Ask your participating provider which supplements are right for you to better balance hormones.

DIM

This powerful, optimizing natural component balances the metabolism of estrogen in the body. Found in cruciferous vegetables, DIM can be beneficial for breast, uterine, cervical and prostate health. DIM is not a plant estrogen or an estrogen mimic like soy isoflavones, but rather an estrogen balancer. DIM stimulates more efficient metabolism for estrogen. DIM promotes beneficial, healthy estrogen metabolism in both women and men and frees testosterone from binding agents in your blood, which helps balance your hormones and makes you feel great!

ADK

The most powerful combination of protection and absorption for the body.

Probiotic

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are either the same as or similar to those found in the human body. Although we tend to think of bacteria as harmful “germs,” many bacteria actually help the body function properly. Probiotics aide a variety of gastrointestinal issues such as immune support. Probiotics are also used for preventing tooth decay and other oral health problems.

Omega 3

An important factor in maintaining healthy bodily functions. BioTE® Omega-3 aids in muscle activity, blood clotting prevention, digestion, fertility, and cell division and growth. Commonly used supplements that contain omega 3 include: fish oil (which provides EPA and DHA) and flaxseed oil (which provides ALA). DHA is vital for brain development and function. ALA is considered an “essential” fatty acid, meaning we obtain it through diet or supplements because the body cannot manufacture it. BioTE® Omega 3 is beneficial to the heart, eyes and brain, and helps with arthritis relief and infant development.

VITAMIN A

Required for the normal development, growth and maintenance of the bones.
Supports bone remodeling, which is our body’s way of removing old or weakened bone tissue to make room for new, stronger tissue. This remodeling process is critical to the repair process of the bone matrix to retain bone density. It also plays a role in stimulating bone-building cells to secrete proteins that are required for bone mineralization.

VITAMIN D3

Fat-soluble vitamin essential for maintaining normal calcium metabolism.
Supports calcium absorption in the stomach and helps maintain adequate blood levels of calcium and phosphate to enable normal mineralization of bone. It’s also needed for proper bone growth and remodeling. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle or misshapen. It also helps support normal cardiovascular function and healthy blood pressure.

VITAMIN K2

Plays an essential role in our health — cardiovascular disease is an illness of nutritional deficiency. Nutritional deficiency appears to be a factor in the development of diabetes and liver cancer. Plays an essential role in bone metabolism and promoting healthy teeth. It helps vitamin k2 guide calcium toward the areas of the body where it is needed (such as the skeleton) and away from areas where it could have a negative effect (such as the cardiovascular system).
