BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones produced in the human body. They are considered to match the molecular structure of our own hormones to be better utilized by our bodies

Forms of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone are prescribed, and come in a variety of forms such as creams, gels, patches, and pills.

We are transitioning away from pellet therapy and will no longer offer it to any patients after the end of this year. At this time, due to safety concerns, we do not offer pellet therapy for men.

While pellets can deliver hormones over time, emerging research and our clinical experience show some drawbacks:

• Extreme highs and crashes in hormone levels

• Difficult to titrate (adjust dose once placed)

• Semi-permanent until the pellet fully dissolves, limiting flexibility if your needs change

Because our priority is safety, consistency, and personalization, we’ve chosen to focus on treatment options that are easier to monitor, adjust, and optimize for each patient.

As with any medical treatment, certain side effects can occur. When a healthcare professional manages your Hormone Therapy, side effects are generally rare, but can include: weight gain, bloating, acne, facial hair, spotting/cramps, breast tenderness, headaches, skin changes, and fatigue. Oftentimes, these initial symptoms will dissipate over time as your body achieves a more regulated level of hormones.

In addition to having labs drawn in our office, we do require all patients to be up to date on their PAP, mammograms, colonoscopies, and prostate exams through their PCP, gynecologist, or urologist.

We do not take health insurance here at House of Bloom Medical Aesthetics, but here's why... We believe that we are able to work with full autonomy to bring patient's the best care they need and deserve without being constrained to traditional insurance based restrictions. Often time insurance companies will dictate and limit what patients may need and deserve.

While we do not accept or bill insurance, some patients find that their insurance coverage will reimburse for certain aspects of the care provided by our Bloom healthcare practitioners. Patients would need to independently contact their individual plan and submit provided receipts on their own. We are happy to accept HSA and FSA cards for payment of covered services. Payment of covered services is dependent upon plan criteria and the responsibility of the patient to determine.

Our healthcare providers can prescribe some medications to local pharmacies for patient's to utilize their prescriptive health coverage. Costs of copayments is not included in any of House of Bloom services, as they vary from insurance carrier and pharmacy. Patient's are advised to contact their respective plans to determine prescriptive coverages.
