Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a medical approach that involves using hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body to help balance hormone levels and alleviate hormonal imbalances. Hormone balance is crucial for maintaining overall health because hormones act as chemical messengers in the body, regulating various physiological processes, including metabolism, mood, energy levels, sexual function, and more. In the body, there are several types of hormones, each with specific functions.
When hormonal imbalances occur, they can lead to a wide range of health issues, including mood swings, weight gain, fatigue, hot flashes, and more. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) aims to address these imbalances by providing hormones that are biologically identical to those produced naturally in the body. Bioidentical hormones are synthesized from plant sources and have the same molecular structure as human hormones. This makes them compatible with the body and may lead to fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.
BHRT pellet therapy is a specific method of administering bioidentical hormones. It involves the insertion of tiny hormone pellets under the skin, typically in the buttocks area. These pellets slowly release hormones into the bloodstream over several months, providing a consistent and controlled hormone delivery. Sources of bioidentical hormones include compounds derived from soy and yams, which are converted into bioidentical hormones in a laboratory setting. These hormone compounds are then used in various forms, including creams, gels, patches, and pellets, to supplement hormone levels and restore balance in individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances. 4esthetics Lounge uses the pellet therapy method of bioidentical hormone optimization therapy.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers several potential benefits. It’s crucial to note that the benefits of BHRT can vary from person to person, and individualized treatment plans are essential to address specific hormonal imbalances and health goals. Any decision to undergo BHRT should be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider who can assess an individual’s unique medical history, symptoms, and potential risks before recommending and administering BHRT. The nurse practitioners and registered nurses at 4esthetics Lounge are trained and certified to provide BHRT.
BHRT can effectively alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings, helping individuals go through the menopausal transition with greater comfort.
Hormone imbalances, particularly a decrease in estrogen during menopause, can lead to bone loss and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help maintain or improve bone density, reducing the risk of fractures.
Balancing hormones can positively impact mood, cognitive function, and emotional well-being, potentially reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Some research suggests that BHRT may have a positive effect on cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol profiles, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, and supporting overall heart health.
BHRT may enhance libido and sexual function in individuals experiencing a decline in sexual desire or performance due to hormonal imbalances, thereby improving overall sexual satisfaction and intimacy.
Some studies have indicated that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may have a lower risk of certain hormone-related cancers, such as endometrial cancer. However, it’s essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider, as this aspect remains a topic of ongoing research and debate.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is ideal for adults experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance—fatigue, brain fog, low libido, mood swings, sleep disturbances, or menopausal changes. It’s often recommended for women in perimenopause or menopause and men with symptoms of low testosterone.
Those with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, active blood clot disorders, or unexplained vaginal bleeding may not be candidates. During your consultation, our certified providers will review your medical history and labs to determine if BHRT is appropriate for you.
BHRT pellet insertion is an outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort. Most clients experience mild soreness or bruising at the insertion site for 1–3 days. You can resume daily activities immediately, though strenuous exercise is typically avoided for 48 hours.
Most clients notice symptom relief within 7 to 14 days of pellet insertion, with full effects often felt around the 3-week mark. Results typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on your body’s absorption rate and the type of hormone used. Your provider will monitor progress and adjust your dosage as needed.

Like any medical treatment, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is not without potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include breast tenderness, mood swings, bloating, and headaches. There may also be risks associated with specific hormone therapies, such as an increased risk of blood clots or certain cancers. It’s essential to discuss these potential risks and side effects with a healthcare provider before starting BHRT.
BHRT is often recommended for individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances, such as menopausal or perimenopausal women, individuals with low testosterone levels, and those with specific hormone-related conditions. The suitability of BHRT varies from person to person and depends on individual health needs and goals.
The frequency of BHRT sessions varies depending on the individual’s needs and the method of administration. Some forms of BHRT, such as pellet therapy, may only require sessions every few months, while others, like creams or gels, may need daily or weekly application. Our healthcare providers will determine the appropriate schedule for your pellet therapy based on your specific treatment plan.
Diet and exercise play a complementary role in hormone balance and overall health. Maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity can support the effectiveness of BHRT and help manage weight, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) primarily focuses on addressing hormonal imbalances. While balanced hormones can have a positive impact on mood and stress levels, managing stress typically requires a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, and counseling, in addition to BHRT if necessary.
BHRT can be used to address various medical conditions related to hormonal imbalances, including menopausal symptoms, low testosterone in men, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and more. It may also be considered as part of a treatment plan for certain hormone-related cancers or bone health issues.
BHRT and traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) both involve supplementing the body with hormones to address imbalances. However, BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body, while traditional HRT may use synthetic hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is often touted as a more personalized and potentially safer option, but the choice between the two depends on individual circumstances and preferences, and it’s best discussed with a healthcare provider.
