Changes in hormone levels during perimenopause and menopause can affect much more than your monthly cycle. Hot flashes, disrupted sleep, mood changes, low energy, changes in sexual wellness, and difficulty feeling like yourself can all make this stage of life more challenging.
At NexGen Aesthetics, we take a personalized approach to hormone health. Hormone Replacement Therapy may include carefully selected estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone management, depending on your symptoms, health history, laboratory findings, and individual needs.
Our approach goes beyond hormone therapy alone. When appropriate, we may also incorporate nutrition guidance, targeted supplements, sleep support, stress management, and lifestyle changes to support your overall wellness through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy, often called HRT, is a personalized treatment approach used to help manage symptoms associated with hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause.
As hormone levels change, some individuals experience symptoms that interfere with sleep, energy, mood, comfort, or quality of life. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may involve hormones such as:
- Estrogen – may be considered for symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and certain vaginal or urinary symptoms associated with menopause.
- Progesterone – may be included in certain treatment plans, particularly when estrogen therapy is used in individuals who still have a uterus.
- Testosterone – may be considered in select patients after a careful evaluation of symptoms, health history, and treatment goals.
Hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Your plan should be based on your symptoms, medical history, personal preferences, and an individualized discussion of potential benefits and risks.
Signs Hormonal Changes May Be Affecting You
Perimenopause and menopause can affect each person differently. Some people notice only mild changes, while others experience symptoms that interfere with daily life.
Hormonal changes may be associated with:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Difficulty sleeping
- Low energy or fatigue
- Mood changes or irritability
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Changes in sexual desire
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Changes in menstrual cycles during perimenopause
- Feeling less like yourself during the menopause transition
If you are experiencing ongoing symptoms, a consultation can help determine whether hormone therapy or another wellness approach may be appropriate for you.
A Functional Medicine Approach to Hormone Health
At NexGen Aesthetics, hormone care is about more than focusing on a single lab value. We look at the broader picture of your health, symptoms, habits, and wellness goals to help create a plan that makes sense for you.
Depending on your needs, your personalized plan may include:
- Hormone therapy when clinically appropriate
- Nutrition and dietary guidance
- Targeted supplement recommendations
- Sleep optimization
- Stress-management strategies
- Exercise and movement recommendations
- Weight and metabolic health support
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care
By combining hormone management with a functional medicine perspective, we can address multiple factors that may be influencing how you feel.
What to Expect During Your Hormone Consultation
Your first visit is designed to help us understand your symptoms, health history, and goals before making any treatment recommendations.
During your consultation, we may discuss:
- Your current symptoms
- Menstrual and menopause history
- Previous or current hormone treatments
- Medications and supplements
- Sleep and stress levels
- Nutrition and lifestyle habits
- Sexual wellness concerns
- Personal and family health history
- Your overall wellness goals
When appropriate, laboratory testing may also be recommended as part of your evaluation.
Once we have a clearer understanding of your needs, we can discuss available options and determine whether hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, supplements, or a combination of approaches may be appropriate.
If treatment is started, follow-up visits may be used to monitor your response, review symptoms, and adjust your care plan when needed.
Personalized Hormone Care at NexGen Aesthetics
At NexGen Aesthetics, we believe hormone care should feel collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized.

With a combination of hormone management and functional medicine strategies, we provide a comprehensive approach designed around your individual needs.
