Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

HRT at Élan Aesthetics administers safe levels of hormones to boost energy, restore balance, support a healthy weight, and enhance overall wellness. Individualized hormone replacement therapy plans with Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf are tailored to help you feel better, inside and out.

Élan Aesthetics uses bioidentical hormones, which are identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. Hormone therapy can supplement testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, or other hormones to support balance and enhance quality of life. 

Which type of hormone replacement therapy is best suited for me?

Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf discusses your medical history, medications, lifestyle, symptoms, and treatment preferences to determine which HRT is the most appropriate for you. She also orders blood testing to determine your current levels. 

In addition to hormone optimization, Élan Aesthetics offers advanced injectables for anti-aging, body contouring, and regenerative aesthetics like PRP therapy to further optimize natural-looking outcomes. Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf often combines multiple regenerative and/or wellness solutions to help you look and feel more like yourself. 

What can I expect during HRT?

Hormone replacement therapy is available as pills, patches, injections, creams, gels, vaginal applications for women, and pellets. If you’re a candidate for BioTE pellets, Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf cleans and numbs the skin near your upper buttocks. She makes a tiny incision to insert the pellets and uses medical tape to close the incision. 

Hormone pellets deliver a consistent, steady stream of bioidentical hormones into your blood for 3-6 months. Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf can replace the pellets as needed to maintain long-term balance. 

Routine blood work determines if your current treatment is effective. Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf can alter your plan whenever necessary to optimize anti-aging results.
