What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
When your body’s hormone production is disrupted, whether due to natural aging or other factors, you may begin to notice changes in how you feel.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replaces hormones that the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including menopause, thyroid issues, low testosterone, growth hormone and etc deficiencies.
You might be a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy if you are experiencing the following:
- Persistent fatigue and low energy throughout the day
- Trouble sleeping at night
- Difficulty concentrating or memory issues
- Feelings of moodiness, anxiety, or depression
- Weight gain, particularly around the belly
- Struggling to lose weight despite a healthy lifestyle
- Decreased muscle strength
- Joint or muscle pain
- Reduced libido and sexual performance

How are bioidentical hormones administered?
Bioidentical hormones are available in several forms, including:
- Pills
- Patches
- Creams
- Gels
- Injections
- Implanted pellets
BioTe Method
Bioidentical hormone pellets are a form of hormone replacement therapy in which small pellets are implanted under the skin to provide a steady release of hormones into the bloodstream. These pellets are derived from natural plant sources and are structurally similar to the hormones produced by the body.
Some benefits of bioidentical hormone pellets include:
- Stable hormone levels: Pellets offer consistent hormone release, minimizing the fluctuations commonly seen with creams, pills, or patches.
- Direct absorption: The hormones are delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver and reducing the risk of increased clotting factors.
- Fewer side effects: The slow, continuous hormone release from the pellets reduces the likelihood of side effects compared to oral or injectable methods.
Why Weight Management?
The goal of weight loss and maintenance is to reduce health risks while helping you achieve your desired appearance. Benefits of weight management include lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and osteoarthritis. Additionally, weight loss can improve conditions such as high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, cholesterol levels, joint pain, and sleep quality. Pharmacological solutions, combined with diet, exercise, technology, and other advances, are used to create personalized weight loss plans.

A Bless Beauty Medspa and Clinic Reviews
Bless beauty spa was absolutely amazing! I’ve had laser hair removal done before at a different place and I always just thought that it was supposed to hurt. I ended up getting it in a similar area and their laser left little to no redness and was not painful at all. I will absolutely be going back since they offer so many services.
Beautiful staff! Well educated on treatments for all ethnicities! Great experience!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
Hormone replacement therapy can be a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained medical professional. At A Bless Beauty Medspa and Clinic, we thoroughly evaluate each patient and monitor their hormone levels to ensure their well-being. Please inform our staff of any pre-existing medical conditions or medications you are taking so we can provide the best care possible.
Will hormone replacement therapy help with weight loss?
Hormone replacement is not considered a weight loss treatment, but it can help with weight management. Imbalanced hormones can contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight despite a healthy lifestyle. By restoring balance, HRT can improve metabolism and energy levels, making it easier to keep unwanted fat at bay.
How long does it take to see results from bioidentical hormone therapy?
The timeline for seeing results from bioidentical hormone therapy varies for each individual. Some patients may start noticing improvements within the first few weeks, while others may take several months. It is important to have regular follow-up appointments with our team members in Atlanta, GA, to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
