House of Aesthetix knows that it is crucial for women monitor their hormones as they age. For that reason, our hormone therapy San Diego addresses a normal decrease in estrogen and testosterone levels. We want our patients to remain comfortable as they get older, so we carefully crafted our Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for women with hormone imbalances, whether due to menopausal or other factors. We are SottePelle accredited, which ensures that we can safely administer these treatments to all our patients.
Our Sotto Pelle accreditation ensures that the criteria for your safety are met with our estrogen hormone treatment. Sotto Pelle is a badge of confidence, denoting a certification granted to our experts dedicated to delivering the best possible hormone replacement therapy. We offer a customized strategy to manage menopausal symptoms and improve the overall quality of life with our developed hormone therapy San Diego. Our bio-identical estrogen and testosterone closely resembles the chemical structure of hormones generated by the body naturally. The estrogen pellets are made from plant-based materials and are injected into the subcutaneous fat. When these pellets are put in, a consistent and controlled amount of estrogen is released into your blood circulation, which reduces menopausal symptoms and restores hormonal equilibrium.

The primary cause of low hormones in women is menopause, occurring typically between 45 and 55 years. During this period, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone secretion from the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and ovaries decrease significantly. This hormonal shift is vital for a woman's mental and physical health. Other factors contributing to low hormones include premature ovarian failure, excessive exercise or extreme dieting, eating disorders, autoimmune diseases, and surgical ovary removal.
The symptoms of low hormones vary based on the specific hormone affected:
Bio-Identical Hormone pellets are tiny, about the size of a grain of rice, and contain natural testosterone and estrogen identical to those produced in the body. This differentiates them from synthetic hormone forms found in other treatments. The bio-identical nature of these hormones is advantageous as synthetic versions can lead to side effects like deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism with oral estrogens, or allergic reactions to injectable testosterones. Pellets offer a gradual, controlled release of hormones over several months, unlike the daily and weekly fluctuations associated with other administration methods. The hormone levels achieved with pellets are more consistent, peaking at about 4-6 weeks after insertion and gradually diminishing over 3-4 months.
For those interested in hormone supplementation:
Both testosterone and estrogen play crucial roles in maintaining various aspects of women’s health, from mood regulation to physical well-being.
Many primary care or gynecology doctors may express reservations about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using bio-identical pellets. Common responses from healthcare providers include skepticism about hormone supplementation for women, citing a lack of supportive data or organizational endorsement. For concerns like low libido, a referral to a sex therapist might be suggested.
These hesitations often stem from a lack of distinction between different hormone preparations like creams, pills, injections, and bio-identical pellets. For instance, oral estrogen supplements, being synthetic, can significantly increase the risk of thromboembolic events. In contrast, bio-identical estrogen mirrors the body's own estrogen and does not carry the same risks. The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study highlighted risks associated with synthetic estrogens and progestins but did not involve bio-identical hormones. Subsequent clinical studies have demonstrated that bio-identical hormone pellets can actually reduce the risk of breast cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease in women compared to those with low hormones and no supplementation.
