Hormone Replacement Therapy
in Coral Gables, FL

HRT helps restore the body’s hormone levels, balancing hormones for improved well-being.

Hormone Replacement Therapy benefits

Relieves Menopausal Symptoms: HRT is highly effective at managing common symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.
Improves Bone Health: Estrogen therapy helps protect against osteoporosis, increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures.
Enhances Sexual Health: By addressing vaginal dryness and loss of libido, HRT can improve sexual function and comfort.
Reduces Risk of Heart Disease: For some women, estrogen may help protect against cardiovascular disease by improving cholesterol levels and blood vessel health.
Improves Sleep Quality: Many people report better sleep after starting HRT due to the relief from menopausal symptoms that disrupt rest.

How does Hormone Replacement Therapy work?

Restores Hormonal Balance: HRT works by replenishing hormones that are decreasing due to aging or medical conditions. In women, estrogen and progesterone are typically replaced. In men, testosterone may be used.
Symptom Relief: By balancing hormone levels, HRT can help relieve common symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and low libido.
Bone Health: Estrogen helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, which can occur during menopause or due to hormone imbalances.
Mood and Cognitive Health: Some types of HRT may help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and improve memory or cognitive function by stabilizing hormone levels in the brain.

How to prepare for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Avoid alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption for at least 24-48 hours before starting treatment, as alcohol can interact with medications.
Avoid smoking: Smoking increases the risk of blood clots and cardiovascular issues, so it’s advisable to avoid smoking or consult with your healthcare provider if you do.
Consultation: Schedule a consultation to evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and the best type of HRT for your needs. Your doctor may conduct tests to measure hormone levels.
Medical History: Discuss any existing medical conditions such as breast cancer, blood clots, heart disease, or liver disease. These conditions may affect the suitability of HRT.
Lab Tests: You may be asked to undergo blood tests to assess your hormone levels before starting treatment, particularly if the therapy is tailored to specific imbalances.

Who can get Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is generally recommended for women experiencing menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It’s particularly useful for managing symptoms during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, as well as for those who have undergone surgical menopause (like after a hysterectomy). HRT can also help prevent bone loss and osteoporosis.

Hormone Replacement Therapy aftercare

Immediately After:

Monitor for side effects: Some women and men may experience side effects after starting HRT, including breast tenderness, headaches, bloating, or spotting (in women). These side effects are often temporary.
Keep track of symptoms: Make a note of any changes in your symptoms, either improvements or new side effects, and share them with your healthcare provider during follow-up visits.

I had my botox done from the aesthetic injector Raffaella Pizio and I couldn’t be happier about the results!! I will definitely go back to try other treatments with her. Everyone at the SPA was very nice. Relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Great place, I highly recommend it.

I just had an hydrafacial with Raffaella Pizio at the spa. Right after the treatment I was shocked at how amazing my skin looked and felt. I can’t get over the difference in my skin!!! I have already scheduled my next one with Raffaella. I recommend the spa, very clean and everyone is very professional.

I came here all the way from North Bay Village because I heard it was a very good and professional medical Spa where I could get specific treatments for my skin. They have many options and advanced technology with the newest machines for treatments like Morpheus or Fotona4D. I got the Morpheus with Dr Rafaella Pizio, who first explained to me everything and answered all my questions, then She treated my face very professionally and She made sure that I will get the best results. I’m very satisfied and I’ve already booked my next appointment with her for the eye Fotona in 3 weeks. I highly recommend this Spa to everyone who is looking for a professional and advanced place to treat their skin. Thank you V&C! Thank you Raffaella!

I came to this amazing Spa to get Fotona4D on the eyes area…I can’t be happier from the results I got. I used to have the area around my eyes very empty and dark…after 2 of the 3 sessions with Rafaella Pizio, my eyes look new, the skin around them is tight and no more tired look on my face. It gave me a younger look and I’m so excited to see the last results. I’m looking forward to try also the Morpheus with Rafaella, She is very professional and caring. I would recommend this Spa to everyone!
