Reclaim Your Vitality
Are you experiencing symptoms like fatigue, low libido, night sweats, or foggy thinking? These could be signs of hormone decline, a natural part of aging that affects both men and women. At North Beach Plastic Surgery in Virginia Beach Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, or BHRT is offered to help restore hormonal balance and improve your overall health and well-being.
Led by Caroline Ford, NP, a highly experienced and certified practitioner, North Beach Plastic Surgery provides personalized BHRT plans tailored to your unique needs. We understand that hormone imbalance can significantly impact your quality of life, and we're committed to helping you regain your vitality and feel your best again.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) addresses hormonal decline by replacing missing hormones with bioidentical versions. These hormones are identical in structure to those your body naturally makes. As we age, hormone production decreases, leading to symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and night sweats. BHRT utilizes bioidentical hormones, typically derived from plants and processed to match human hormones. This approach offers a potentially safer and more natural alternative to traditional HRT, which uses synthetic hormones. BHRT comes in various delivery methods, like implantable pellets, allowing for a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs and alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal imbalance. Women are typically treated every three to four months, while men are typically treated every five to six months. For some women, micronized oral progesterone may be an essential part of their treatment.
Our Virginia Beach Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy offers several delivery methods, each with its own advantages and considerations. Here, we'll focus on a popular and effective option: Biote® pellets. The special device we use for insertion delivers the pellets into the subcutaneous tissue, where the pellets will evenly dissolve over time, providing a more steady state than other forms of HRT.
Biote® Pellets
At North Beach Plastic Surgery, we utilize Biote® pellets, a safe and convenient method for delivering bioidentical hormones. These tiny pellets, about the size of a rice grain or slightly larger depending on the dosage needed, are composed of compressed bioidentical hormones. The specific hormones included in the pellet will depend on your individual needs and gender.
The Insertion Process
The insertion process is minimally invasive and performed during a quick in-office procedure. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy offers a smooth recovery. The in-office procedure has minimal downtime, with slight discomfort at the insertion site resolving within days.

Additionally, patients are advised to avoid bathtubs, swimming, and hot tubs during this period, although showers are permitted. Most patients experience initial improvements within weeks, with optimal results taking three to six months.
Post-treatment life involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle and attending follow-up appointments to monitor hormone levels and determine if additional pellet insertions (lasting three to four months for women, five to six months for men) are needed.
