Get answers to common questions about Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Hormone Replacement Therapy replaces deficient hormones using individualized dosing and delivery methods like injections, gels, or pellets. At Lotus Medspa we begin with lab testing, medical evaluation, and ongoing monitoring to safely restore balance and reduce symptoms associated with hormonal decline.

Candidates include adults experiencing fatigue, low libido, weight changes, mood disturbances, or menopausal symptoms. A comprehensive lab panel and health history at Lotus Medspa determine whether HRT or TRT is appropriate and safe, considering individual risks and goals.

Many patients report improved energy and mood within weeks, while changes in body composition or sexual function may take several months. Lotus Medspa monitors progress with follow-up testing and adjusts therapy to optimize benefits and minimize side effects for each individual.

Initial evaluation includes blood tests assessing sex hormones, thyroid function, adrenal markers, metabolic panel, and sometimes vitamin levels. Individualized testing ensures correct diagnosis and safe dosing. Lotus Medspa reviews results with you and creates a personalized treatment and monitoring plan.

Like any medical treatment, HRT/TRT carries potential risks including fluid retention, mood changes, acne, or blood-clotting concerns in some patients. Lotus Medspa evaluates medical history and monitors labs closely to minimize risks and tailors therapy for the safest, most effective outcome.

Administration varies: options include injections, transdermal gels, topical creams, and subcutaneous pellets based on clinical needs and lifestyle. Your provider at Lotus Medspa will recommend the best delivery method, explain administration, and schedule follow-ups for dose adjustments and safety monitoring.
