Bioidentical hormones are synthesized from plant sources such as yams or soy. They are designed to be molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced in your body—such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Because of this similarity, your body can recognize and process them efficiently, often with fewer side effects than synthetic hormones. At L’Elite MediSpa, we use FDA-approved bioidentical formulations tailored to your lab results and wellness goals.

Many clients begin to notice improvements in symptoms—such as energy, mood, and sleep—within 2 to 4 weeks. However, full hormone optimization typically takes 3 to 6 months as the body adjusts and hormone levels stabilize. Your provider will track your progress through follow-up lab testing and regular check-ins to ensure your dosage is working as intended. Every treatment plan is personalized for long-term success.

Yes—when monitored and managed by a trained provider, BHRT is considered safe for most individuals. Because bioidentical hormones mimic those naturally produced by your body, they’re often better tolerated than synthetic options. Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary bloating, headaches, or mood swings during early treatment. At L’Elite MediSpa, we closely monitor hormone levels to fine-tune your dosage and minimize risks.

Treatment frequency depends on the delivery method and your individual response. For pellet therapy, you may only need treatment every 3–6 months. Creams, patches, or injections may be administered more frequently, such as weekly or daily. Your provider will determine the most convenient and effective schedule for you based on lab results, symptoms, and your lifestyle.

BHRT is appropriate for both men and women experiencing hormone-related symptoms—such as fatigue, weight gain, low libido, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. It’s commonly used during menopause, perimenopause, and andropause, but younger individuals with hormone deficiencies may also benefit. A blood test and consultation will determine if you’re a candidate and help customize the right treatment plan for your needs.
