Question 1

What symptoms may indicate a hormone imbalance?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms of hormone imbalance can include fatigue, weight gain or inability to lose weight, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, low libido, and decreased energy. In women, discomfort with intercourse, vaginal dryness or genital itching or burning in absence of infection also may be caused by hormonal changes. Because symptoms can vary from person to person, a consultation and laboratory evaluation can help determine whether hormones may be contributing to your symptoms.

Question 2

Is hormone pellet therapy available for women and men?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Allure Laser and Medical Spa offers bioidentical hormone pellet therapy for both women and men. The pellets are placed just under the skin and release hormones steadily over several months. This treatment may help address symptoms related to hormone imbalance, menopause, perimenopause, and low testosterone.

Question 3

Can hormone pellets help menopause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy may help reduce common menopause symptoms (or perimenopause symptoms) such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, brain fog, vaginal dryness, and decreased sexual desire. At Allure Laser and Medical Spa, treatment plans are customized to each patient's unique hormone needs and health goals.

Question 4

Can hormone therapy help low libido?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hormone therapy may help improve low libido when hormonal imbalances are contributing to a decrease in sexual desire. Changes in estrogen and testosterone levels can affect libido, energy, mood, vaginal comfort, and overall sexual wellness. A comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether hormone therapy may be an appropriate option based on your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels.

Question 5

Is hormone therapy only for women?

Accepted Answer

No. Hormone therapy can benefit both women and men who are experiencing symptoms related to hormone imbalances or age-related hormone decline. Women often seek treatment for symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause, such as weight gain, low libido, low energy, night sweats, and mood swings, while men may seek evaluation for symptoms of low testosterone such as fatigue, disrupted sleep, decreased ability to focus or concentrate, decreased libido, reduced muscle mass, and low energy. A comprehensive consultation and hormone assessment can help determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate for your individual needs. At Allure Laser and Medical Spa, we evaluate and treat both males and females.

Question 6

How long do hormone pellets last?

Accepted Answer

Most patients receive hormone pellet therapy every 4-6 months, depending on metabolism, activity level, and individual hormone needs. Female patients' pellets usually last for 4 months and male patients' pellets usually last about 5-6 months.

Question 7

What lab testing is needed before treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most patients will need laboratory testing before beginning hormone therapy. Lab work helps evaluate hormone levels and provides important information about your overall health to determine whether treatment is appropriate. Depending on your symptoms, age, medical history, and treatment goals, testing may include hormone levels, thyroid function, metabolic markers, kidney and liver function, screening for vitamin deficiencies and other health screenings. Your provider will recommend the specific tests that are right for you as part of a personalized treatment plan.

Question 8

How does bioidentical hormone pellet therapy work?

Accepted Answer

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that match the ones your body naturally makes. At Allure, this treatment is offered in pellet form for women and men. It may help address symptoms linked to hormone imbalance, menopause, perimenopause, and low testosterone. Your provider will review your symptoms and help you decide whether pellet therapy is a good option for you.

Question 9

What is the difference between pellets, creams, and injections?

Accepted Answer

Hormone pellets, creams, and injections are all methods of delivering hormones, but they differ not only in how they are administered and how long they last but also in possible side effects or risks. Pellets are inserted just beneath the skin and provide a steady release of hormones over several months, mimicking the body's natural production of hormones. Creams are applied 1 to 2 times daily and absorbed through the skin, allowing for flexible dosing. Injections are not bioidentical and are typically given on a scheduled basis and may cause hormone levels to fluctuate between doses. The best option depends on your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and treatment goals. Your provider can help determine which method is right for you. Allure Laser and Medical Spa only prescribes pellet therapy, however.

Question 10

Do you prescribe hormone options other than pellets?

Accepted Answer

This office only provides pellet therapy for women and men. All of the bioidentical hormones that Dr. Strobel and other providers prescribe are bioidentical, which means they are not covered by insurance. If you would like to see what option is best for you, reach out to 903-957-3409.
