Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

An Alternative to HRT

Our hormones affect all areas of the body, from our brains to our hearts. So it is fair to say that balancing these hormones is vitally important if we are to maintain optimal health.

At Aeternum Aesthetics we use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to help correct hormonal imbalances and replenish the hormones that reduce as we get older. In doing so we can effectively enhance quality of life, slow down the ageing process and improve overall wellbeing.

What we treat with BHRT

At Aeternum Aesthetics we can treat a wide range of symptoms for both men and women.

Women’s Health

Women often don’t understand what is happening in their bodies at different stages in their lives. Perimenopause and menopause remain to be vastly misunderstood and often the lack of knowledge makes it much harder to receive both an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan thereafter. Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge and guidance needed so that you can take control of your health. We offer expertise in:

Men’s Health

Hormones are just as important for men as they are for women. Both men and women produce the same hormones, just in different amounts.

The male equivalent of menopause is referred to as Andropause. For many men approaching middle age, the reduction of hormone levels may lead to them starting to question their lives, jobs and even their relationships.  We offer expertise in:

BHRT FAQs

Bioidentical hormones are used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and have an identical chemical structure to the naturally occurring hormones which are produced in the body.

Bioidentical hormones can be of great benefit to patients who are experiencing a hormone imbalance and looking for treatment options. We are able to use BHRT to treat a wide range of hormone-related conditions. BHRT may also be used as an alternative for those patients who have tried synthetic hormone treatments, such as HRT, but experienced unwanted side effects as a result.

Bioidentical hormones can be an effective treatment choice for both men and women who are suffering symptoms of hormonal imbalance. BHRT can be used to treat a wide variety of hormonal imbalances from PMS to menopause in women and andropause in men.

Initially, you will have an in depth consultation with our Hormone Specialist Nurse so that we can gain all of the necessary information in relation to your medical history, symptoms, test results and so on. Any treatment thereafter will be tailored to you individually and your BHRT medication will be prescribed and formulated to your personal requirements.  Your treatment plan will include ongoing monitoring and regular follow ups to ensure that we help you to achieve the best possible results.

The word ‘natural’ is used to refer to the structure of the hormone molecules, which are produced from natural plant sources (Mexican Yams). The chemical structure is 100% identical to the naturally occurring hormones produced by your own body.

As the hormone therapy received is tailored to you, the duration of any treatment will be specific to you and your needs. For some people symptoms may only be apparent or a few months whereas for others symptoms could last for years. We will provide treatment for as long as you have symptoms and for as long as it continues to improve your wellbeing.
