What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural treatment designed to restore hormonal balance using hormones chemically identical to those produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, BHRT is derived from plant sources like yams and soy, making it more compatible with your system. This therapy is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of aging, menopause, andropause (low testosterone in men), and other hormone-related imbalances.

At iGlow MedSpa in Beverly Hills, we specialize in personalized BHRT to help patients regain vitality, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being.

How Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

BHRT can be administered in several forms, including creams, pills, patches, and pellets. The most effective and long-lasting method is pellet therapy, where tiny hormone-infused pellets (about the size of a grain of rice) are inserted under the skin, typically in the upper buttock area.

The BHRT Process:

Consultation & Testing – A thorough evaluation, including blood work, determines your hormone levels.

Customized Treatment Plan – Hormone pellets are tailored to your specific needs.

Pellet Insertion – A quick, in-office procedure under local anesthesia ensures minimal discomfort.

Gradual Release – The pellets dissolve over 3-6 months, providing steady hormone release.

Many patients report improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within weeks, with full optimization achieved after a few months.

What Are the Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

BHRT offers a wide range of benefits for both men and women, making it a powerful anti-aging solution:

For Women:

• Reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings
• Improves libido and vaginal dryness
• Enhances skin elasticity, hair growth, and nail strength
• Supports bone density and muscle retention

For Men:

• Boosts energy, muscle mass, and stamina
• Enhances cognitive function and mental clarity
• Improves sleep and reduces irritability
• Restores sexual vitality and performance

Patients also report better weight management, reduced cholesterol levels, and overall improved quality of life.

The Biote Method

Biote is a trusted name in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), offering a specialized pellet-based treatment to restore hormonal balance. Their method is designed for precision, using bioidentical hormones derived from plant sources like soy and yams to match the body’s natural hormone structure.

How Biote’s Pellet Therapy Works

Customized Hormone Pellets – Tiny pellets (grain-of-rice-sized) are inserted under the skin, providing a steady release of hormones over 3–6 months.

Avoids Fluctuations – Unlike creams or pills, pellets maintain consistent hormone levels, reducing side effects like mood swings or energy crashes.

Liver-Safe Delivery – Since pellets bypass the digestive system, they don’t strain the liver or affect clotting factors.

Key Benefits of Biote’s BHRT

Sustained Energy & Mental Clarity – Patients report improved focus and reduced brain fog.

Enhanced Mood & Emotional Balance – Alleviates anxiety, irritability, and depression linked to hormonal decline.

Revitalized Libido & Sexual Health – Restores desire and performance for both men and women.

Bone Density & Muscle Retention – Helps combat age-related bone loss and muscle weakening.

Long-Term Anti-Aging Effects – Supports skin elasticity, weight management, and overall vitality.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

BHRT is ideal for:

• Women in perimenopause or menopause experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, or low libido.
• Men with low testosterone (Low T) struggling with fatigue, weight gain, or diminished performance.
• Younger adults with hormonal imbalances due to stress, thyroid disorders, or PCOS.
• Individuals seeking anti-aging solutions to enhance vitality and longevity.

However, BHRT may not be suitable for those with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers or severe liver disease. A consultation with our Beverly Hills specialists ensures safe and effective treatment.
