Quick Overview
Treatment at a Glance
Hormone Care Based on You
Understand Your Symptoms Before Treating Them
Hormones play roles throughout the body, including sexual function, energy, mood, sleep, body composition, bone health, and other aspects of wellness.
When hormone levels change, symptoms can overlap with many other health concerns. That is why hormone replacement therapy at Physician Aesthetic Specialists starts with your symptoms, health history, medications, goals, and appropriate laboratory testing rather than symptoms alone.
If treatment is appropriate, your hormone plan can be individualized and monitored over time as your symptoms, laboratory results, and needs change.
Comprehensive Evaluation
What Hormones May Be Evaluated?
Laboratory testing is selected according to the individual. Your provider may evaluate several hormone-related markers along with other relevant health information.
Estrogen
Estrogen influences reproductive health, bone health, and several other body systems. Levels can change significantly throughout life.
Progesterone
Progesterone is involved in reproductive function and may be evaluated alongside other hormones depending on symptoms and treatment goals.
Testosterone
Testosterone contributes to sexual function, muscle and bone health, body composition, and other physiological functions in both men and women.
Luteinizing Hormone
LH helps regulate reproductive function and can provide useful information when evaluating the body’s hormone signaling system.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
FSH is another reproductive hormone that may help your provider understand changes related to ovarian or testicular function.
Additional Biomarkers
Your evaluation may include additional laboratory markers when they are relevant to your symptoms, medical history, or overall wellness.
How Hormone Therapy Works
From Symptoms and Labs to an Individualized Plan
Hormone replacement therapy is not based on a single laboratory number. Symptoms, medical history, age, medications, risk factors, laboratory findings, and treatment goals all contribute to the decision about whether therapy is appropriate.
If treatment is started, ongoing follow-up helps your provider evaluate symptom response, hormone levels, side effects, and whether your treatment plan should be adjusted.
Evaluate
Discuss symptoms, health history, medications, previous hormone treatment, and wellness goals.
Test
Complete appropriate laboratory testing to better understand your hormone levels and related biomarkers.
Personalize
If hormone therapy is appropriate, develop a treatment and follow-up strategy based on your individual needs.
Beyond Hormone Therapy
Support the Rest of Your Wellness Plan
Hormone therapy does not replace the fundamentals of health. Nutrition, activity, sleep, stress management, and other health needs remain important parts of long-term wellness.
Nutrition
A balanced nutrition plan can help support energy, body composition, muscle health, and overall wellness.
Movement
Regular resistance training and cardiovascular activity can complement broader goals involving strength, mobility, and body composition.
Sleep
Sleep affects energy, recovery, appetite regulation, mood, and many other aspects of health.
Nutritional Support
Your provider may recommend specific supplements when they fit your nutritional needs and broader wellness plan.
What to Expect

Frequently Asked Questions
Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs
When can I expect to notice results?
Some patients begin noticing changes within the first few weeks of treatment, but response time varies according to the hormone being treated, your starting levels, symptoms, delivery method, and individual response. PAS guidance lists treatment effects that may last approximately 3 to 6 months.
How do I know if hormone replacement therapy is right for me?
The first step is an individualized medical evaluation. Your provider reviews your symptoms, health history, medications, risk factors, and goals, then uses appropriate laboratory testing to help determine whether hormone therapy may be appropriate.
Are there side effects from hormone replacement therapy?
Side effects vary with the hormone, dose, delivery method, and individual patient. Possible effects can include breast tenderness, headaches, bloating, mood changes, skin changes, or other symptoms. More significant risks can also apply depending on your medical history and treatment. Report new or concerning symptoms to your provider.
What hormones do you test at Physician Aesthetic Specialists?
Testing is individualized, but the evaluation may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and other relevant biomarkers. Your provider determines which tests are appropriate based on your symptoms, health history, sex, age, and treatment goals.
Why does PAS offer bioidentical hormone pellets?
Bioidentical hormone pellets provide one option for delivering hormone therapy over an extended period without requiring a daily cream, pill, or self-administered injection. They are not the right delivery method for every patient, so your provider can discuss the benefits, limitations, risks, and alternative forms of hormone therapy with you.
How long do hormone pellets last?
PAS treatment guidance lists an expected duration of approximately 3 to 6 months. Actual duration can vary based on the hormone, dose, metabolism, individual response, and treatment plan.
Can nutritional supplements be used with HRT?
Your provider may recommend nutritional supplements when there is a specific reason for including them in your wellness plan. Tell your provider about every vitamin, supplement, medication, and other product you currently take so possible interactions and unnecessary duplication can be considered.
What can I do to support my results?
Hormone therapy works best as one part of a broader health plan. Consistent sleep, appropriate nutrition, regular physical activity, resistance training, stress management, and keeping scheduled follow-up appointments can all support your overall wellness.
