Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to rebalance hormones in the body. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) takes this approach further by using plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces. When your hormone levels become unbalanced, the effects can touch nearly every aspect of your life — from your energy and mood to your sleep, intimacy, and sense of vitality.
Our Approach to Hormone Replacement Therapy
At Thrive Skin + Wellness in Holly Springs, North Carolina, we understand that feeling “off” is more than just a passing phase. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Kreymerman (Dr. K), our team serves patients from throughout Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, and the entire Triangle Area with a science-based, compassionate approach to wellness.
We specialize in EvexiPEL® therapy, a trusted form of BHRT that uses small, plant-derived hormone pellets inserted just beneath the skin. Unlike daily pills or weekly injections, EvexiPEL® provides a steady, consistent release of hormones over several months. Each treatment plan is built around your unique lab results, symptoms, and wellness goals, ensuring that your care is as individual as you are.
The Checklist
If you’ve been wondering whether hormone therapy might be right for you, consider the following signs and symptoms. You don’t need to check every box to be a candidate; even a few persistent concerns can be enough to warrant a conversation with our team.
You might benefit from HRT if you’ve noticed:
- Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, leaving you drained even after a full night of sleep
- A noticeable drop in libido or changes in sexual function that affect intimacy and comfort
- Mood swings, irritability, or feelings of depression that seem to come out of nowhere
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating, such as losing your train of thought or forgetting simple tasks
- Difficulty maintaining a healthy weight
- Joint discomfort or stiffness that’s affecting your movement and quality of life
- Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early
- For women: peri-menopause or PMS-related symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, irregular cycles, or emotional sensitivity
- For men: feeling less driven, motivated, or physically capable, with declining strength and endurance
It’s not just in your head. These symptoms are real, and they’re often tied to hormone imbalances due to aging, stress, lifestyle factors, or underlying conditions like Androgen Insufficiency Syndrome (where the body’s production of testosterone and estrogen declines). The good news is that hormone therapy can help restore balance and bring you back to feeling like yourself again.
