Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Severna Park, MD | Skinlogic
Aging can cause the body to slow hormone production and release, including testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone.
We have far too long ignored these hormone imbalances which can cause symptoms, including irritability, fatigue, decreased motivation, weight gain, mood swings, decreased libido, muscle loss, and sleep disorders. How many times have you been told to exercise more, watch what you eat, or create an effective bedtime routine? While all of these things are important, abnormal hormone levels could largely be the culprit of your symptoms.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
In the past, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), specifically estrogen, has been surrounded by stigma due to studies on the causation of breast cancer. Typically, oral HRT is normally made synthetically and from equine sources. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a plant-based option that mimics the body’s natural hormones, hence the term “bioidentical.”
Current studies show that bioidentical oral estrogen is not associated with an increased risk for breast cancer, at Skinlogic, we prefer alternate forms of estrogen and other hormone therapies, including creams, patches, and pellets.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps restore your hormones to achieve ideal levels of hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, in the body. BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are identical to the composition of the body’s naturally occurring hormones.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help the common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and andropause. Changes that can occur include:
- Mood changes
- Fatigue and low energy
- Interrupted sleep
- Reduced libido and sexual function
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Impaired mental clarity and cognitive function
- Hair loss
- Muscle loss
- Weight gain
During your BHRT consultation, our expert team will:
- Conduct a thorough consultation, symptom evaluation, and hormone-level assessment
- Develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your individual symptoms, lab results, and lifestyle
- Monitor your progress and adjust your therapy as needed to ensure optimal results
How Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can be delivered in many forms. Your provider at Skinlogic will base your treatment regimen on your serum labs, symptoms, and lifestyle. Options for BHRT include creams, patches, oral capsules, or pellet insertion.
Bioidentical Hormone Pellets
After insertion, the pellets consistently release the hormones your body requires to help progressively improve your levels and symptoms. The BHRT pellets gradually dissolve under the skin in 3 to 6 months.
Our experts will monitor your hormone levels to adjust your BHRT pellets before each treatment. BHRT appointments are typically scheduled 3 to 5 months apart for women and 4 to 6 months apart for men.
