Hormone replacement therapy is the perfect treatment to treat symptoms of hormonal imbalances, including menopause and testosterone deficiency. It’s an undeniable fact that, as we age, our hormones can deplete. A hormonal imbalance can affect anyone no matter their age or sex. However, these imbalances become much more prevalent with age.
Fortunately, new treatments developed during years and years of scientific research have given those suffering from hormonal imbalances a long-awaited solution. At Xanadu Med Spa, we provide our clients suffering from menopause and other hormone conditions with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a treatment that replenishes depleted hormones.
We have served the people of Windsor and Northern Colorado for many years, and we only offer the best, most advanced treatments to our clients.

What Is Hormonal Replacement Therapy?
HRT is used to replenish depleting hormones. Symptoms of hormonal imbalances look different for men and women. Spotting the signs of a hormonal imbalance is the first step in stabilizing hormone levels and getting you feeling like yourself again.
Hormone Imbalance in Women
As women grow older, their body goes through a natural process called menopause. When a woman goes through menopause, estrogen levels deplete significantly. Estrogen is responsible for the development of the female body, including the reproductive system.
During menopause, the production of the hormone progesterone in the ovaries is also decreased significantly. This can cause complications in the uterus and make it extremely difficult to become pregnant.
Hormonal imbalance and menopause symptoms in women include:
- Hot flashes.
- Weight gain.
- Mood swings.
- Vaginal dryness.
- Fatigue.
- Memory loss.
Hormone Imbalance in Men
As men get older, their bodies produce less and less testosterone. Produced in the testicles, testosterone is responsible for the normal development of the male body.
As boys become adults, the body produces an ample amount of testosterone. When this happens, boys may notice their voice becoming deeper, more body hair growth, and muscle strength and development.
When men suffer from a lack of testosterone, this is known as Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome. Blood testing is the most effective way of testing for low levels of testosterone in the body.
Symptoms of this imbalance include:
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Gynecomastia.
- Reduction of libido.
- Loss of muscle mass.
- Hair loss.
- Sleep apnea.
- Fatigue.
- Weight gain.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
When a client experiences a depletion in hormones, we highly recommend bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The bioidentical hormones are chemically made up of the same hormones that the individual is lacking.
These synthetic hormones are man-made and designed to have the same properties and benefits as natural hormones. Bioidentical hormones are easily absorbed by the human body, so patients don’t have to worry about the body rejecting them.
How Are the Hormone Replacements Administered?
Hormone replacement therapies can be administered in a variety of ways. These treatments are usually administered via the following ways:
- Pills.
- Creams.
- Pellets.
- Injections.
At Xanadu Med Spa, we believe that out of the methods available, pellets are the best option. During your appointment, the pellets are inserted underneath the skin by one of our estheticians. As the blood flows through the body, the pellets react to the blood and start working immediately.
We love the pellet method, as it is both effective and fast-acting. The hormones get to work quickly to balance out hormone levels and get you feeling like yourself again.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
After undergoing a course of hormone replacement therapy, most patients notice an improvement quickly. Benefits of HRT include:
- Improved mood.
- Boost energy levels.
- Prevents hair loss.
- Improved sleep.
- Reduces the severity of hot flashes and night sweats.
- Increased sex drive.
- Reduces feelings of anxiety and depression.
