Hormone Replacement Therapy

When your hormones are out of balance, it can feel like everything is crashing down. Mood swings, fatigue, memory loss, thinning hair, decreased libido, and painful periods are just a few of the many symptoms unbalanced hormones can cause. While this can be common, it doesn’t have to be your new normal.

The Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Clinics of Louisiana offer hormone replacement therapy to tackle these issues head-on. With over 18 years of experience in the field, Dr. Todd Howell, our Co-Founder and Medical Director, is a recognized expert in hormone optimization and leads our team in delivering safe, effective, and personalized care. We’ll review your background and symptoms to recommend the best replacement therapy for your needs.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used when your body isn’t producing enough hormones naturally. Hormones are chemical messengers that flow throughout the body, signaling when and how to function. They play an integral part in regulating things like growth and development, reproduction, internal balance, and mood, just to name a few. When there is a hormonal imbalance, deficiency, or a decline in levels needed to support healthy function, the body responds with symptoms like depression, irregular periods, or weight gain.

At The Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Clinics of Louisiana, HRT works by supplementing these hormones to bring levels back into balance and relieve disruptive symptoms. Commonly prescribed hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone. These may be provided in synthetic or animal-derived forms and delivered through pills, patches, creams, gels, injections, or implants, depending on your unique needs and health goals.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Women

Although testosterone is often thought of as a “male hormone,” it plays an essential role in women’s health as well. Healthy testosterone levels support energy, muscle tone, bone density, mood balance, and even sexual wellness. When levels decline—often with age or hormonal shifts—women may experience fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low libido, or mood changes.

At The Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Clinics of Louisiana, we offer testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) designed specifically for women. TRT can help improve vitality, sharpen mental clarity, enhance sexual health, and support overall well-being.

Our providers carefully evaluate your hormone levels and symptoms, then personalize a treatment plan that may include creams, injectables, or implantable pellets. The goal is to safely and effectively rebalance testosterone so you can feel like yourself again.

Frequently Asked Questions

This can vary from person to person based on individual symptoms. It’s possible you can be on hormone replacement therapy for a few years, while others may benefit from shorter courses depending on their goals, health history, and how their body responds. Your provider will work with you to individualize your HRT plan and monitor your progress.
As with any medical treatment, side effects are possible. Some patients may experience mild symptoms such as bloating, mood changes, or skin sensitivity when starting HRT. Other side effects can include tender breasts, bloating, irregular bleeding, nausea, and dizziness. Different hormone therapies can have differing side effects, and your provider can recommend the best type for you based on your health background.
Ideal candidates are typically individuals experiencing signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance and/or menopause, like brain fog, mood changes, or decreased libido. Certain health conditions, like having blood clots, cancer, strokes, or a history of heart issues, may exclude you from being a good candidate for the treatment. A consultation and lab testing will help determine if HRT is right for you.
Many patients begin noticing improvements in their symptoms after about 2-4 weeks, with continued progress in the following months. More significant benefits, like changes in body composition or overall vitality, may take a few months as your hormone levels adjust.
