BHRT Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone levels decrease as we age, both for women and men. Hormonal imbalances can cause fatigue, irritability, amnesia, weight problems (which can fluctuate), sleep disorders, and reduced libido.
BHRT, or Bioidentical Hormone Replacement, can restore hormone levels to healthy levels. BHRT involves inserting tiny pellets into the body’s fat tissue in a simple office procedure. Viata Aesthetics and Wellness is proud to offer BHRT to our clients who want to feel young again!
Uses plant-derived, bioidentical hormones that mimic the body's own chemistry.
Tiny pellets placed beneath the skin provide a steady, consistent release of hormones.
Quick, in-office treatment with no recovery required.
Pellets last 4–6 months, depending on your needs and hormone levels.
Supports energy, libido, mood, sleep, cognition, and overall well-being.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy replenishes declining hormone levels using plant-derived hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones integrate seamlessly with the body’s receptors, offering a more natural and often better-tolerated approach to restoring balance. BHRT can be used to support women and men experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, andropause, or general hormonal decline.
At Viata Aesthetics and Wellness, we specialize in pellet therapy, a form of BHRT that delivers a steady, consistent release of hormones to help stabilize mood, energy, metabolism, cognitive function, and sexual wellness.
Your BHRT journey begins with an in-depth consultation, lab testing, and a personalized plan created by our licensed physician, Dr. Mary Davidson. Once your hormone needs are determined, a tiny pellet, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted just beneath the skin, typically in the hip area.
The procedure takes only a few minutes and requires minimal numbing. The pellet then releases hormones steadily into the bloodstream, mimicking the body’s natural rhythm and avoiding the fluctuations common with creams, pills, or injections. Most patients return to daily activities immediately.
BHRT can support a wide range of hormone-related symptoms and age-related changes, including:
Benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy include:
You may be a good candidate for BHRT if you’re experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, weight fluctuations, low libido, or changes in sleep. Both women and men can benefit from pellet therapy, especially during peri-menopause, menopause, and andropause.
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain hormone-sensitive medical conditions may not be suitable for BHRT. During your consultation, Dr. Davidson will review your health history, symptoms, and lab results to determine whether treatment is right for you.
Results from bioidentical hormone therapy appear gradually, with many patients noticing improvements in energy, mood, focus, sleep, and libido within two to three weeks. Full results typically develop over six to eight weeks as your hormone levels reach optimal balance. The steady release provided by pellets helps maintain consistent improvement without daily maintenance.
Depending on the individual, results last 4–6 months. Regular pellet placements help sustain hormonal balance long term, supporting metabolism, cognitive clarity, emotional well-being, and overall vitality.
We combine medical expertise with attentive, patient-centered care, ensuring you feel supported throughout your entire hormone journey. During the initial consultation with our licensed physician, Dr. Mary Davidson, she will gather information about your medical history in order to see if you are a candidate. You’ll receive information about BHRT following your consultation with our physician and answers to any questions you may have. If you are deemed a candidate for BHRT, Dr. Davidson will create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs.
A bioidentical hormone is a compound that matches the natural hormones your body makes when it is in balance. As menopause progresses, intermittent testing is necessary to monitor the changes you need.
Women and men of all ages can use BHRT pellet therapy. Treatment plans are tailored to the needs of each patient.
Approximately two to three weeks after beginning therapy, you will feel some improvement. However, you may not feel the full effects for up to eight weeks.
It depends on the patient and their needs, but typically anywhere from four to six months.
