Hormone Replacement Therapy in Buckhead

Hormone replacement therapy, a treatment to replace female hormones that the body no longer produces after menopause, is an effective way of relieving some of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause. While menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and a reduced sex drive pass after a few years, they can be unpleasant to deal with until then. Hormone replacement therapy in Buckhead can offer earlier relief. Call the professionals at the Harley Institute to learn about how you can take advantage of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, medication produced naturally and made from plant estrogen which is identical in chemical makeup to the hormones the human body produces naturally. We look forward to providing you with a consultation and scheduling an appointment for you soon!

How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

image

As women enter menopause, their body will produce less of some crucial hormones that control most of the bodily functions. Hormones help cells communicate throughout the body and manage everything from digestion to immune function and libido. When hormone production begins to drop, people turn to medication and treatments to supplement their supply. Hormone replacement therapy works by providing the body with an extra boost of certain vital hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. There are a variety of delivery methods including pills, patches, gels, vaginal creams, vaginal creams, and more.

Your Buckhead hormone replacement doctor at the Harley Institute will walk you through the options and help you select the method most ideal for your situation and needs. Our friendly staff and professional health experts will be by your side before, during, and after the process if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to call us today if you have any specific questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment soon.

What Are the Risks of Hormone Replacement Therapy?

As with many medical procedures, hormone replacement therapy is not without risks. Research has shown that hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk for certain conditions such as blood clots, stroke, heart disease, breast cancer, gallbladder disease, and anxiety or depression. Other studies suggest that these risks vary depending on age. For instance, if hormone therapy is started before the age of 60 or within 10 years of menopause, the benefits appear to outweigh the risks. Still, women who begin hormone therapy more than 10 or 20 years from the onset of menopause or at age 60 or older are at greater risk of the above conditions.

We recommend all patients consider the associated risks and speak with their physician to determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks. Dr. Harley is committed to making sure you are comfortable. Please give us a call and allow one of our friendly health experts to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Frequently Asked Question

Is hair reduction using laser permanent?

Treatment results may vary among patients. The Altus CoolGlide Laser is cleared by the FDA for Permanent Hair Reduction. The FDA defines permanent hair reduction as the long term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime.

Will it work on dark skin?

The Cutera CoolGlide Laser is FDA-approved for use in types I to VI skin, that is, from the whitest white to the darkest dark. Care is taken with the darker shades of skin, but excellent results can be obtained in black skin.

What does it feel like?

The laser treatment may feel like a mild sting for a fraction of a second. It has a built-in cooling tip that not only helps to protect the skin but also helps to minimize the discomfort.

How long do the treatments take?

An upper lip and chin can be done in 5 to 10 minutes. Underarms or bikini lines usually take 15 to 20 minutes. Legs and backs take longer. Very often, follow-up treatments are shorter (and less expensive) because there is much less hair to treat.

How many treatments are necessary?

This is very important to understand. Hair goes through 3 stages of development. Typically in the anagen stage, the hair will respond more effectively to treatment. At any given time, only one third of human hair is in the anagen stage. For this reason, it is necessary to treat an area at least 3 times with the treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart in order to see the best and longest lasting results. Darker hair will respond better, but both dark and light hair may need up to 5 treatments for maximum response and the best long-term results.

Results - What can I expect?

There is often no immediate change. Your skin may get slightly red or even develop a small crust that will peel. The laser may leave small red marks on your skin. The marks clear up in a few days. The hair that has been destroyed will not start to fall out for 2-3 weeks. Many times it will get darker and thicker just before it falls out. Don't worry if you do not see an obvious change immediately after your first treatment.

I haven’t even been using my Sotto Pelle pellets for 60 days yet, and I already feel like a brand new woman. The results started showing in just about two weeks, which was amazing and encouraging.

Richard was the epitome of professionalism. I found that Dr. Harley was very professional. Brian the phlebotomist drew my blood and I barely felt anything.

Frances Hamilton

Atlanta, GA

I was one of Dr. Harleys 1st patients with Bio-Identical Hormones in 2006. I was bloated up like a balloon on synthetic hormones.  The natural hormones took away the bloat and now 10 years later in 2016 at 61 years young my skin looks better than it did in my 40's!
