Overview
About Hormone Therapy
What it is
Hormone replacement pellet therapy. A small pellet of bioidentical hormone is placed under the skin, usually in the hip, during a short in-office visit. It releases steadily over several months instead of spiking and dropping the way a cream or a weekly injection can, which for most people is the point.
It starts with labs, not with a pellet
We don’t guess at this. You get blood work first, we look at the actual numbers alongside what you’re experiencing, and only then do we talk about whether this is appropriate for you. Sometimes the labs say the problem is something else entirely, and you should see your physician instead.
What people come in describing
Usually not a symptom with a clean medical name. Tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix. Foggy. Irritable with people they like. Losing strength they used to have, or sleeping badly for months. Low libido. Those are worth investigating rather than putting up with, and worth investigating properly.
What to expect
The insertion takes fifteen to thirty minutes and you go back to your day. Most people notice a change over two to four weeks instead of overnight, and pellets are typically repeated every three to six months depending on how you metabolize them. We recheck labs to confirm the dose is right instead of assuming it is.
Being straight with you
Hormone therapy is a genuine medical treatment with genuine risks and contraindications, and it isn’t right for everyone. Your history, especially any history of hormone-sensitive cancer or clotting disorders, changes the answer. This is a conversation with a nurse practitioner, not a menu item you add to a facial.
Candidacy, risks, benefits, recovery, and expected results vary by individual and are determined during consultation. This page is educational and isn’t medical advice.

Hormone Therapy We Offer
Which of these suits you is a conversation, not a checkbox. We sort that out at your consultation.
How it works
We look before we treat. What you came in asking for and what your skin actually needs are often different, and sorting that out — under proper light, with your history and medications on the table — is the consultation.
The visit itself
You are in a room set up for that one treatment, with the provider who planned it. Nothing gets wheeled in from elsewhere, and nobody is being treated in the next chair.
What to expect
Before you book: how many sessions, what it costs, and how long you will look less than your best afterwards. After: written aftercare and a follow-up, usually at two weeks, to see the result and adjust.
Treatment candidacy, risks, benefits, recovery, and expected results vary by individual and are determined during consultation.

Hormone Therapy — Questions
Facials and skin treatments including microneedling and dermaplaning, injectables (neurotoxins, dermal fillers, PRF and EZGel), laser treatments from hair reduction to Tetra CO2 CoolPeel resurfacing, hormone replacement pellet therapy, and vitamin and wellness therapies including IV infusions and NAD+. Each plan is built around what your skin and your labs actually show.
Yes, and it is not a formality. We need your health history and you need to know what you are agreeing to. The consultation runs about forty-five minutes and there is no obligation to book treatment at the end of it.
Every treatment is medically supervised. Nancy Walker is a board-certified nurse practitioner, and we use FDA-cleared devices and products. Safe does not mean risk-free, though, and part of the consultation is going through the actual risks for you specifically.
It depends entirely on the treatment. IV therapy, vitamin injections, and most injectables are lunch-hour appointments. Microneedling and laser resurfacing will leave you red and flaking for several days. We tell you which one you are signing up for in concrete terms before you book, not afterward.
October through March. Laser and light treatments work best on skin that is not tanned, and freshly treated skin is more sun-sensitive for a couple of weeks. At 6,920 feet, strong sun is most days of the year. If you ski, tell us and we will schedule between your trips.
A small bioidentical hormone pellet is placed under the skin and releases steadily over three to six months. We start with blood work, not with a pellet. If your labs and symptoms line up we will talk about it; if they point somewhere else we will tell you to see your physician.
Yes, through Cherry. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, which does not affect your score. We make no lending decisions and never see your credit file.
