Menopausal and PMS Symptoms / Hormone Imbalances

The philosophy behind Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is the following:

Revage Medical Spa works with the highly reputable Menopause Clinics of America to treat hormone imbalances by using Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).

As no two patients are the same, the factors that necessitate custom-prescribed medication for hormone imbalances include:

• Allowing doses to be specifically adjusted and monitored, determined by fluctuating symptoms.Patients with Daily Hormone fluctuations
• For lowering and preventing side effects from over or under dosing.
• Giving the patient the absolute minimum dose of what they require.

By working with the patient, our highly-skilled practitioners can provide the highest level of care. With the ability to individualize doses we are in the unique position to maintain higher patient compliance, as well as provide outcomes specific to their needs.

How are Natural Hormones made?

Natural hormones are produced in a lab and are derived from diosgenin, a chemical compound found in yam and soy. These hormones are prepared as per an individualized prescription by a doctor, by a specialist pharmacist.

Natural Hormones: Their place in Modern Medicine

There are two statements that place Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) into perspective:
Hormones do not decline because we age - rather we age because our hormones decline. BHRT is not the secret to the fountain of youth: it is the secret to the fountain of youthfulness.

Decline in key hormones is the primary cause of Menopause. The symptoms experienced by patients (Hot Flashes, depression, sleeplessness, drying skin) are the body's reaction to this sudden decline. Natural, Bio-identical hormones allow low dose treatment that reduces the risks of side effects attributed to synthetic treatments.

The goals of BHRT are to alleviate the symptoms usually caused by the natural decrease in production of hormones by the body, and to bring balance back to the body's hormonal balance. Another goal of BHRT is to imitate the body's natural processes as much as possible, by doing this, doctors believe it will limit most of the unwanted effects and long-term risks of the traditional synthetic hormone replacement therapies.

*other than long term use and anecdotal evidence supported by the high level of patient satisfaction and absence of litigation and fatalities, there is no long term studies that have been done to prove the absolute safety or lack of side effects of BHRT.
