Hormone Therapy in Miami Lakes
Evidence-based support for perimenopause, menopause, and hormone-related symptoms.
Hormone therapy can be an effective option for managing certain symptoms related to menopause and hormonal changes. At iGlō Aesthetics & Wellness, our approach is medical, personalized, and safety-first, rooted in clinical screening, informed decision-making, and ongoing follow-up.
What Is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy generally refers to the use of prescription hormones to relieve symptoms related to menopause and other hormone-related conditions. For menopausal symptoms, major medical organizations note that hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes/night sweats) and for the genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and it can help prevent bone loss.
Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Risks and benefits depend on factors such as the type of hormone used, dose, route, timing of initiation, and personal medical history.
Our role is to help you understand your options, review your health history, and determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate for your goals.
