At Skin Damsel, we take hormone health seriously, and personally. We understand how disconnected you can feel from your own body when things are off. That’s why our approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy is thoughtful, evidence-based, and tailored just for you. We don’t do cookie-cutter protocols. We listen, we test, and we build a plan that fits your symptoms, your goals, and your life.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment that helps bring hormone levels back into balance when they’ve dropped or become inconsistent due to age, stress, or other factors. We often use it to support women going through perimenopause or menopause and men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone or andropause.
At Skin Damsel, we use bioidentical hormones—compounds that closely match the hormones your body naturally produces. These can be delivered in a variety of ways depending on your preferences and health needs. Hormone therapy supports your body so you feel grounded, stable, and clear again.
Types of HRT We Offer
HRT isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are the delivery methods. After reviewing your labs and health history, we may recommend:
Every option comes with benefits and considerations. We’ll walk you through them and help you decide what fits best.
Hormonal shifts affect everyone differently. Some people feel it emotionally, others physically, and many feel both. Common symptoms we address include:
These symptoms can be frustrating, especially when you’ve tried everything to support a healthy lifestyle. HRT helps support your body from the inside, restoring a sense of balance that can be hard to reach otherwise.
When your hormones are back in balance, everything else feels easier. You sleep more deeply. Your moods feel more even. Your brain clears up. Your energy lasts throughout the day. Many people also notice a return of skin elasticity, increased muscle tone, and improved sexual health.
It’s not about chasing youth—it’s about reconnecting with your own rhythm. And when that happens, the rest tends to fall into place.
We work with women in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, as well as men experiencing age-related hormone changes. But age isn’t the only factor. Some people begin noticing symptoms earlier than expected, and others don’t feel the shift until much later.
You don’t have to wait until symptoms are severe. If you’ve been feeling “off” and suspect hormones might be involved, we’ll help you figure out what’s going on and what options are available.
There’s no recovery time in the traditional sense, but your body may take a few weeks to adjust to the new hormone levels. Some people feel a difference within a few days. For others, changes build more gradually. We’ll stay in touch during this time and make adjustments if needed. This is a partnership—and we’re in it with you.
Most clients begin noticing improvements within the first month, with more consistent relief settling in around 6 to 8 weeks. If you're using pellet therapy, you may feel more even, steady progress as the dose is released slowly over time. Your energy, your mood, your skin, your sleep all starts to feel more like you again.
It’s not all in your head. The mood swings, fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, or sudden shifts in weight and skin texture can feel like they came out of nowhere. For many women and men, it’s not just aging—it’s hormones.
If you’ve been told “your labs are normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, you’re not alone. We’re here to help you feel good again—and stay that way.
HRT is very safe when administered thoughtfully and under ongoing medical supervision. That means regular lab work, symptom tracking, and proper dosing. You’ll be supported at every step with clear communication and careful monitoring to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
If you’re experiencing symptoms that don’t respond to lifestyle changes—or you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel off—HRT might be worth exploring.
No. We see women in perimenopause, post-partum recovery, and even in their 30s. Men also benefit from hormone support as testosterone declines with age.
We’ll typically run blood work to assess key hormone levels. Sometimes additional tests are recommended based on your symptoms and history.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally similar to what your body naturally makes. Many people feel better on them, and they tend to be well-tolerated.
Hormone balance can improve metabolism and reduce inflammation, which often helps with stubborn weight. It’s not a weight loss drug, but it supports your body’s ability to regulate itself more effectively.
As with any medical treatment, there are risks. We’ll walk you through these considerations and help you make an informed decision based on your health profile.
Not necessarily. Some people use it for a few years while others stay on it longer. We’ll reassess your treatment plan as things evolve.
Yes. Hormones like estrogen and testosterone play a role in collagen production, skin hydration, and elasticity. Many clients notice firmer, brighter skin over time.
Yes, especially when low libido is tied to hormonal shifts. Balancing hormones can restore natural desire and improve comfort.
We see this often. Sometimes dosing needs to be adjusted, or the delivery method isn’t right. We’ll review your current plan and help you make sense of what’s missing.
