Bio-Identical Hormone Regeneration For Women

Balancing hormones for women is a special program designed by Dr. Lander who has over 30 years of experience in replacing hormones. We focus on replacement when needed and ideally regeneration when possible to help the body make its own natural hormones. Certain patients may benefit from replacement with bio-identical hormones that are exactly the same biological substance that the body makes naturally, rather than pharmaceutical hormones that are modified in the laboratory.

Female Hormone Replacement
Menopause can creep up silently or may be very sudden such as after hysterectomy.

Hormonal imbalance can significantly impact your ability to enjoy youthful aging and vigorous health.

Are you feeling fatigue or experiencing difficulty losing weight?
Have you felt depressed or had mood swings?
Are you having trouble dealing with menopausal changes?
What about difficulty concentrating and remembering?
Does your skin have less elasticity than it used to?

 

When your hormones change, you might notice your skin feels different or you may experience changes in your muscles and body composition. Women may start wondering where their libido went.

Many symptoms that are commonly ignored or treated with pharmaceuticals are actually related to the changes we begin to experience due to hormonal imbalances associated with normal aging.

That’s where hormone balancing steps in and helps patients achieve their health goals in a natural way.

 
The hormonal system is a complex network: Changing one hormone affects all the others so the regeneration and balance program must be methodical and comprehensive. Dr. Lander can use creams or alternatively bio-identical pellets for convenience to replace hormones.

Dr. Lander’s Bio-Identical Hormone Regeneration For Women program is a customized system developed to replace hormones and restore your body’s ability to produce natural hormones where possible.

Methods of Women Hormone Replacement

Creams

We have specially compounded testosterone creams using the latest technology to provide steady absorption and distribution for optimal effects. These creams can be compounded specially with other ingredients based on individual needs such as preventing conversion into other hormones.

Pellets

Pellets are compressed male hormones into small cylinders that can be implanted under the skin. The pellets are inserted in a brief office procedure associated using local anesthetic with minimal discomfort. Success with pellet therapy requires a fundamental knowledge of dosing and the various insertion methods. Patients report that pellets inserted under the skin maintain the highest steady state levels with maximum convenience, requiring re-insertion only a couple times per year.

Injections

Injections can be either given at our office or we can train our patients to do their own convenient self-injections. This is a very popular and effective method to replace hormones in women.

FAQ: Women Hormone Replacement

Are Bio-Identical hormones safe?

Bio-identical hormone replacement is natural and very safe if supervised carefully. Normal levels of hormones in men are associated with mental, sexual, and physiologic effects that are vital to good health and quality of life. These are the exact same compounds your body would be making naturally under optimal functioning conditions.

What kind of hormones do women need?

Testosterone is not just a male hormone. It is naturally produced in small amounts by women and is necessary for bone density, healthy skin elasticity, cardiac health, energy and the development of lean muscle mass. Testosterone can help stabilize mood and can improve memory. Testosterone is an important hormone for libido in women. Women’s testosterone levels should be approximately one twelfth of the levels found in men.

Why is "pellet" a popular choice for hormone therapy?

Patients will report that pellets inserted under the skin in women maintain the highest steady state levels with maximum convenience. The pellets are placed under the skin in a brief office procedure associated with minimal discomfort. Dr. Lander is one of the few physicians in this region of California that has extensive experience with pellet therapy.

How long does it take to get results?

Treatment often makes a dramatic difference very early on in a woman’s sense of wellbeing. The effects of the hormonal regeneration program are optimized when combined with good nutrition, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.

How much does it cost and does insurance cover it?

Unfortunately insurance companies do not recognize the value of this level of customized care. Patient fees include medications, evaluation, monitoring of progress and ongoing surveillance. Our office can discuss financial arrangements when consultations are scheduled.
