Wellness is the core of what we do at Vitalify, and hormones play a central role in wellness.
First, you undergo an extensive evaluation by a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner.
We gather information regarding your symptoms, current hormone levels, nutrition, lifestyle, and desired outcomes. We listen to your concerns, and we test as needed.
Once we have a clear picture of what’s happening inside and outside of your body, we work together to create a treatment plan.
Our treatment plans are always holistic: we incorporate diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments, as well as medically-informed hormone supplementation.
We begin your treatment and monitor your hormone levels and symptoms continuously.
Our medical team will monitor your progress and advise on the best time to recheck your labs to ensure optimal outcomes.
We don’t hand you a pill and send you away: we work alongside you to create lasting change.
In truth, you won’t know until you test your hormone levels. Our one-hour consultations are designed to get to the root of your symptoms, to ensure that we are using the right treatment for you.
We see unbalanced hormone levels most frequently in: peri-menopausal or post-menopausal women, women with PCOS, women in their 20s-30s struggling with cystic or hormonal acne, couples struggling to conceive, and men in their late 40s-early 50s.
If you identify with any of the symptoms or patient pools mentioned above, you could be suffering from unbalanced hormones.
Hormone replacement therapy is an effective hormonal acne treatment. If you are struggling with cystic, hormonal acne that is resistant to standard dermatological treatments, it could be a result of unbalanced hormone levels. Unfortunately, hormonal acne is unlikely to resolve until your hormones are balanced.
At Vitalfy Aesthetics in Dupont Circle, Washington DC, we take a holistic approach to balancing your hormones, incorporating sustainable lifestyle and diet changes under the guidance of licensed medical experts.
Hormone replacement therapy is often not recommended for patients older than 60 or patients with an extensive history of hormone-driven cancer. If you aren’t sure whether it’s the right fit for you, rest assured: we thoroughly screen every patient to ensure that it is safe.
If you’d like to discuss whether hormone replacement therapy is the right fit for you, please book a consultation at our Washington, DC clinic, located in Dupont Circle.
Sometimes there is a brief adjustment period as your body rebalances its hormones. HRT can cause a variety of side effects, particularly in the first few months. Side effects include: headache, nausea, unexpected vaginal bleeding, fatigue, hot flashes, mood changes, fluctuations in libido, breast tenderness, and weight gain or loss.
Yes! When supervised and administered by a licensed Nurse Practitioner or Medical Doctor, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a safe and scientifically-proven way to balance your hormones.
The benefits of balanced hormones are wide-ranging. You’ll feel better, you’ll look better, and you’ll wish you’d started sooner.
Our patients cite easier weight loss, acne-free skin, a consistently better mood, less irritability, higher sex drive, and more energy and focus overall.
In most cases, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is covered by insurance, particularly when prescribed for managing symptoms of menopause in women. However, it’s important to check with your specific insurance provider to confirm coverage details and potential out-of-pocket costs.
At Vitalify, we offer HRT to patients regardless of insurance status. You can read more about our payment policies here.
HRT is available to patients of all biological genders. HRT for guys is one of many treatments we offer for men at Vitalify.
No: only hormones can balance hormones. Hormone balancing diets, hormone balancing tea, and supplements to balance hormones rarely work. Providing your body with the hormones it needs is the only medically-supported way to restore hormonal balance safely and sustainably.
