That's why our approach extends beyond aesthetics to address the underlying factors that influence your overall health and well-being.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

HRT is a personalized treatment for females and males that restores or optimizes hormone levels when they become imbalanced or decline over time. While hormonal changes commonly occur during perimenopause, menopause, and andropause, they can also result from aging, medical conditions, surgery, or other factors.

When hormone levels are no longer optimal, symptoms may include fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, poor sleep, weight changes, low libido, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, or reduced overall vitality.

Depending on your symptoms and laboratory results, treatment may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or a combination of hormones.

Hormone therapy may be delivered in several forms, including:

  • Creams or gels
  • Injections
  • Patches
  • Capsules or tablets
  • Troches (dissolving lozenges)

Because every patient is different, treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, medical history, goals, and laboratory findings to help restore hormone balance and support long-term health.  

Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances can develop gradually and are often mistaken for a normal part of aging. If your hormones are no longer optimized, you may experience symptoms such as:

  • Persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Mood changes, anxiety, or irritabilityPoor sleep, insomnia, or night sweats
  • Decreased libido or changes in sexual function
  • Hot flashes or vaginal dryness (women)
  • Loss of muscle mass or strength
  • Thinning hair or changes in skin quality

While these symptoms don't always indicate a hormone imbalance, they may be a sign that it's time for a comprehensive evaluation.

  • Increased energy and libido
  • Support for healthy body composition and overall vitality

  • Support for overall well-being and vitality

For both women and men:

  • Improved weight management when combined with a healthy lifestyle
  • Enhanced overall quality of life

Results vary from person to person and depend on the underlying hormone imbalance, overall health, and adherence to an individualized treatment plan.

Are You a Good Candidate for HRT?

The best way to determine whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is right for you is through a comprehensive wellness evaluation—not by symptoms alone. We begin with an in-depth review of your medical history, health goals, and advanced lab testing that evaluates far more than hormone levels alone. By analyzing key biomarkers related to hormones, metabolism, inflammation, nutritional status, thyroid function, and overall health, our providers gain a complete picture of your wellness.

Using these insights, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. While many men and women with lab-confirmed hormonal decline are excellent candidates for HRT, every recommendation is based on your individual health profile rather than symptoms alone.

Certain personal or family medical histories require additional evaluation before starting treatment, including:

  • Some cancers
  • Cardiovascular conditions
  • Clotting disorders

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

The process starts with a consultation and lab work to measure current hormone levels. This baseline testing is what separates a responsible HRT program from guesswork, and it's the first step before any treatment plan is discussed. This visit typically covers:

  • A review of symptoms and health history
  • Hormone panel bloodwork
  • A discussion of goals and expectations

This baseline data separates a responsible HRT program from guesswork and is the first step before any treatment plan is discussed.

Treatment Options

Based on your comprehensive lab results, symptoms, medical history, and health goals, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Depending on the hormones being treated and your individual needs, therapy may be delivered through:

  • Oral medications
  • Topical creams or gels
  • Injectable therapies
  • Other evidence-based delivery methods, as appropriate

The most effective treatment approach is determined on a case-by-case basis—there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Monitoring and Results

Follow-up lab work and check-ins ensure that hormone levels remain within a healthy range and that the treatment plan is adjusted as needed. Results tend to unfold in stages:

  • The first few weeks involve early changes in energy and mood
  • The following months involve gradual improvement in other benefits with consistent treatment

Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs

How long does it take to see results from HRT?

Is HRT safe?

Do I need lab work before starting HRT?

What are the side effects of HRT?

How long does it take to see results from HRT?

Some symptoms, like low energy or mood changes, can improve within a few weeks. Other benefits, such as changes in body composition or sleep quality, tend to build more gradually over two to three months of consistent treatment.

Is HRT safe?

HRT is generally considered safe for appropriately screened patients, but it isn't risk-free. The right candidacy, dosage, and monitoring depend on individual health history, which is why lab testing and ongoing follow-up are part of every treatment plan.

Do I need lab work before starting HRT?

Yes. Hormone panel testing confirms whether a true deficiency exists and guides the type and dose of hormone therapy recommended, rather than relying on symptoms alone.

What are the side effects of HRT?

Side effects vary by hormone type, delivery method, and individual health history.

Testosterone therapy in men can carry risks such as worsening sleep apnea, prostate changes, or enlarged breast tissue.

Hormone therapy in women may involve risks like breast tenderness, bloating, or mood changes, particularly in the first few weeks of treatment.

Most side effects are manageable and often improve as the body adjusts or as the treatment plan is fine-tuned, which is why ongoing monitoring is built into every HRT plan at Robb Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics.
