If you are a perimenopausal or postmenopausal woman experiencing common symptoms of hormonal imbalance including low mood, anxiousness, and low sex drive, hormone therapy may be a great way to regain your full quality of life.
As we get older, many of us simply blame it on age when we get tired easily or put on extra pounds that are hard to lose. Some of us suffer from insomnia or increased stress. And then there’s the drop in libido. Oftentimes, we’re just not interested in sex anymore. We can feel moody or even depressed or experience memory loss and poor concentration. Did you know that many times, hormonal imbalance is the root cause of these symptoms?
This imbalance can occur due to natural changes, including menopause in women and a drop in testosterone in men. Additionally, environmental toxins and diet can accelerate hormone imbalance and the symptoms that follow. The good news is that diminished quality of life isn’t something you have to accept. If your hormones are imbalanced, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may be an effective solution for you.
The symptoms of hormone imbalance can be frustrating to experience, but Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, or BHRT, at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, can help many patients live a normal life. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy may offer relief for many common and debilitating symptoms that are often overlooked by other medical providers. Some of these symptoms include exhaustion, stress, brain fog, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and many other conditions. These ailments may be managed by getting to the root cause and returning you to a state of hormone balance.
At your consultation, one of our certified practitioners will draw a diagnostic bloodwork panel.
In roughly seven to 10 days, we’ll review the results with you to determine your best treatment options.
BioTE pellets are small supplements that are gently inserted under the skin, releasing precise doses of hormones over time.

Our approach to Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach is customized to each patient’s unique physiology, allowing patients to get the most out of their treatment as possible. The benefits of hormone replacement therapy may begin to work within four weeks as the bioidentical hormones enter the bloodstream. Some patients begin to feel the benefits of hormone therapy right away, while others won’t experience hormone therapy benefits for a few months. Full hormone optimization can take up to six months, depending on your individual needs, as well as the plan you and your provider decide to proceed with.
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach is the use of supplemental doses of hormones that derive from plant sources that have identical chemical structures to the hormones we produce naturally.
For women, typically every three to four months. For men, every four to five months.
Although every patient experience is slightly different, many patients report feeling a change within the first two to four weeks, however full hormone optimization can take up to six months.
There is practically no downtime after this treatment. However, we recommend not practicing any strenuous exercise or prolonged water exposure for the first few days after pellet insertion.
Patients are first cleaned and numbed at the site of insertion (typically the butt cheek). Once fully numbed, our practitioners will make a very small incision to insert the pellets (these pellets are about the size of a grain of rice).
Once inserted, we cover the site with a bandage, and that’s it! This treatment takes no longer than 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
