Feel Like Yourself Again

Hormonal imbalances can throw your whole body off kilter in more ways than one: fatigue, weight gain, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, just to name a few.

Don’t tough it out! Find relief and take back your life with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women. By addressing deficiencies in your hormone levels, we can help you feel your best again.

What to Expect from BHRT

1

Step 1: Consultation

During your consultation, we will talk with you about your symptoms and medical history. We’ll look at your blood work to determine the cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan customized to your needs.

2

Step 2: Treatment

Your appointment will take about 30 minutes, but the procedure itself should only be 10 to 20 minutes. First, we will numb the insertion site, then we make a small incision and insert the hormone pellet.

3

Step 3: Results

Pellets release a consistent amount of hormones over time, so you can expect the benefits to develop over the next weeks and months as your hormone levels stabilize to normal.

Our Approach at Total Skin

We will schedule your first follow-up appointment for 4 to 6 weeks after your initial appointment. We’ll check in with you about your symptoms and how you’re feeling, and we can modify your treatment plan if needed.

What BHRT Treats

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women can address a variety of issues brought on by unbalanced hormones. BHRT might benefit you if you suffer from one or multiple of the following:

  • Fatigue

  • Decreased sex drive

  • Weight gain

  • Brain fog

  • Depression and mood changes

  • Muscle weakness

  • Joint pain

Did you know…

On average, menopause begins around age 51, but symptoms may occasionally appear as early as your 30s in a stage known as perimenopause.

Care Instructions

Pre-Care Instructions

  • Avoid blood thinners and NSAIDs (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for a week before your appointment. Consult your primary care provider before discontinuing any medication.
  • For 24 hours before your appointment, avoid alcohol to minimize bruising and bleeding.
  • Your appointment will last about 30 minutes, and then you can get back to your routine!

Post-Care Instructions

  • After your appointment, you may experience some bruising, swelling, and redness around the incision site. These symptoms should resolve on their own within 2 to 3 weeks.
  • Don’t soak in baths, hot tubs, or swimming pools for the next 3 days. You can shower but treat the incision site gently until it heals more after about 7 days.
  • For 3 days after your appointment, avoid strenuous activity that exercises the incision area, including running, squats, ellipticals, etc.

    Total Skin changed my life. I lived a confused, sad life with acne rosacea. Dr. Laframboise took one look at me and knew the cures for my skin problems. THANK you for the best 6 months I’ve had in forever. I feel comfortable with no makeup and I no longer look for the place in a room that doesn’t have harsh bright light to shine on the bumps on my cheeks. Now I’m bump free!

    Julia M

    I’m so glad I found Whitney and followed her to Total Skin! I’m 67 and I work as a flight attendant. I’m also not into needles. Many of my coworkers do Botox and fillers, but I can’t do it. Whitney had recommendations that have improved my skin while keeping within my budget and my crazy work schedule. I constantly get compliments on my skin from both my coworkers and my passengers. Thank you, Whitney and Total Skin!

    Kirsten K

    Total Skin is everything you want in a dermatology clinic! Jen and her staff are phenomenal at what they do. I never feel pressured to purchase items or services like I had been at previous skin/esthetic clinics. They take the extra time to explain the different procedures and which ones would be best for my situation. I am so happy with my results! I highly recommend Total Skin!!
