Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men & Women

Zi Medspa offers personalized treatment

Hormonal imbalances can lead to a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms. For women, these symptoms are often related to menopause and may include hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings. For men, reduced testosterone can lead to symptoms such as loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and mood changes.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that involves taking hormones to supplement the body’s natural hormone levels. Zi MedSpa offers personalized HRT treatment to address your symptoms and help you start feeling like yourself again.

What happens during hormone replacement therapy?

The process begins with a consultation with a healthcare provider. During the consultation, you will be asked about your medical history, current symptoms, and any medications you are taking. Blood tests will be ordered to check your hormone level. The healthcare provider will use all of this information to determine if you are a good candidate for hormone therapy.

If you are cleared to begin the process, the healthcare provider will prescribe HRT. The specific type will depend on your needs and medical history. There are different methods for delivering hormones, including pills, patches, creams, and injections. The provider will also discuss the potential benefits and risks of HRT.

Throughout the course of your treatment, the healthcare provider will monitor your progress and adjust the dosage of hormones as needed. The goal is to find the optimal dose that alleviates your symptoms and improves your quality of life while minimizing side effects.
