Women's HRT and Menopause Care for Greater Lansing

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at Aqua is guided by experienced providers including Hollie Town, PA-C and Dr. Lena Weinman, helping women better understand and address symptoms related to hormone imbalance.

HRT is a medically guided treatment that involves administering hormones to replace the ones your body no longer produces. By replacing declining hormones with ones your body recognizes, it’s been shown to help address common symptoms associated with hormone deficiency to help support metabolism, bone strength, mood, and sexual health. For women, this often includes —like progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone—Aqua Aesthetics & Wellness specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy, also called natural hormone therapy, because it mirrors your body’s chemistry. These hormones are molecularly identical to your own, offering smoother absorption than older synthetic or combined therapy.

What Can Hormone HRT Do For Women?

For women in perimenopause or menopause, HRT helps ease the transition and maintain balance. By bringing It can help alleviate symptoms, including:

Hot flashes and night sweats
Sleep disturbances and fatigue
Mood changes or anxiety
Low libido or vaginal dryness
Brain fog and poor focus
Weight gain or slowed metabolism

These symptoms signal that your hormones need support—BHRT helps rebalance them naturally.

Types of Hormone Therapy for Women

Every woman’s needs are unique. At Aqua Aesthetics & Wellness, your HRT specialist develops a personalized plan that may include one or more forms of support.

Estrogen Replacement Therapy

Relieves hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, the hallmark menopause symptoms. When started near menopause onset, it may also support bone density and overall wellness.

Progesterone Therapy

Balances estrogen and protects the uterine lining in women with an intact uterus. It can also promote better sleep, mood balance, and emotional stability.

Testosterone Therapy for Women

Addresses low libido, fatigue, and muscle weakness related to low testosterone levels. In low doses, it may also improve motivation, focus, and mood for greater vitality.

Combined Hormone Therapy

Uses a custom ratio of estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone to manage overlapping symptoms. Each plan is adjusted over time for lasting relief and balance.

Each plan begins with lab testing, health review, and discussion of goals to ensure a safe, effective approach.

Why Bioidentical Hormones?

Your body recognizes the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones. Unlike synthetic estrogen or progestin, which can create uneven effects, bioidentical hormones—derived from plant sources—match human hormone structure. Because they mirror your body’s chemistry, BHRT often provides smoother, more predictable results with fewer side effects—making it a trusted option for perimenopause and postmenopause treatment.

How Hormone Pellets Work

Aqua Aesthetics & Wellness uses bioidentical hormone pellets, an advanced and convenient form of therapy. Each rice-sized pellet is inserted under the skin during a brief in-office procedure. Over the next three to four months, it releases a steady stream of hormones, maintaining consistent levels without daily pills or patches.

Benefits of Pellet Therapy

Long-lasting results (3–4 months between insertions)
Consistent delivery—no roller-coaster mood or energy swings
Customized dosing from lab results

Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

When does perimenopause start?

Perimenopause usually begins in your 40s, though it can start in the mid-30s. It’s the transition before menopause when estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, causing irregular cycles, mood changes, and hot flashes.

Can hormone therapy help with mood swings and anxiety?

Yes. Fluctuating hormones affect brain chemistry. HRT can help stabilize mood and ease irritability or anxiety during perimenopause and menopause.

Does HRT help with vaginal dryness or discomfort?

It can. Estrogen therapy restores tissue elasticity and moisture, reducing dryness and irritation common after menopause.

Will I gain weight on hormone therapy?

HRT doesn’t directly cause weight gain, but changing hormone levels can affect fat distribution. Many women find weight management easier once balance is restored.

How long should women stay on hormone therapy?

Most women use HRT for three to five years, though it varies by symptoms and health goals. Your provider adjusts or tapers therapy based on results and how you feel.

How long do hormone pellets last?

Each pellet releases hormones for three to four months, depending on metabolism and dosage. You’ll return periodically for reinsertion to maintain results.

Is pellet therapy better than creams or patches?

Many women prefer pellets for convenience and consistency. Unlike creams or patches, pellets deliver steady hormones without daily maintenance.

What to Expect at Your Women’s HRT Consultation

Your consultation starts with your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and goals. Tell us about changes in your periods, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep, vaginal comfort, or sexual desire. Your provider can explain whether testing is useful, consider other possible causes, and discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives to hormone therapy.

Menopausal hormone therapy is commonly used for bothersome hot flashes and night sweats, and treatment options also exist for vaginal dryness. The appropriate approach depends on your symptoms and health history; testosterone is a separate treatment discussion for selected patients. Follow-up should assess both symptom response and safety.
