Convenient, Effective, and Tailored to Your Needs

How HRT Cream Works

HRT cream is applied topically, typically to areas like the inner arms, thighs, or abdomen. The bioidentical hormones are absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream, bypassing the liver for efficient, direct delivery. This method provides a steady release of hormones, helping to stabilize levels and alleviate symptoms effectively.

Available Options:

  • Estradiol (for estrogen replacement)
  • Progesterone (to balance estrogen and support overall hormone health)
  • Testosterone (for libido, energy, and muscle maintenance)
  • Custom formulations available based on your lab results and symptoms.

Simple Application Process

Using HRT cream is straightforward, but proper technique ensures the best results:

  1. Consultation: Meet with our hormone specialists to determine your needs.
  2. Testing: Comprehensive bloodwork to assess your hormone levels.
  3. Custom Prescription: Receive a tailored cream formula and dosage instructions.
  4. Daily Application: Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin once or twice a day, as directed.
  5. Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to adjust dosage and track progress.

Pro Tip: Rotate application sites to avoid skin irritation and maximize absorption.
