Hormone Therapy at SeraNova Wellness
Hormone therapy is a transformative treatment designed to help restore balance in the body, especially during times of hormonal disruption. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply dealing with hormone imbalances, our personalized hormone therapy plans can help you feel like yourself again. At SeraNova Wellness, we offer hormone therapy tailored to your unique needs, promoting overall wellness, energy, and vitality.
Understanding Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy involves the use of hormones to restore the body’s natural balance, which can be disrupted by aging, hormonal imbalances, or certain medical conditions. In women, this often occurs during perimenopause or menopause when the body’s natural production of estrogen and progesterone decreases. In men, testosterone levels may decline with age.
By supplementing these hormones through customized treatment plans, hormone therapy helps to restore balance and improve overall health. Our team takes the time to understand your unique symptoms and creates a treatment plan to address them, ensuring you receive the care you need.

Treatment Options for Hormone Therapy
There are several methods of hormone therapy available at SeraNova Wellness, each offering unique benefits. Our team will work with you to determine the best approach based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and preferences. Here’s an overview of the most common treatment options:
- Hormone Pellets: Tiny pellets are inserted just under the skin, releasing a steady, controlled dose of hormones over time. This method requires minimal maintenance and can provide long-lasting relief for several months.
- Injections: Hormone injections are administered on a regular schedule (typically weekly or bi-weekly) and can be a good option for those who prefer more direct control over hormone levels. Injections provide fast-acting results.
- Topical Creams and Gels: These creams or gels are applied directly to the skin, allowing hormones to be absorbed gradually into the bloodstream. This option is often preferred by those who want a non-invasive method.
- Bioidentical Hormones: Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, making them a preferred option for many patients. These hormones are available in various forms, including pellets, creams, and injections.
The Treatment Process
Your hormone therapy journey begins with a thorough consultation where our medical team will assess your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Based on this information, we’ll create a customized treatment plan designed specifically for you.
- Consultation: We take the time to understand your symptoms and concerns, as well as your lifestyle and health history, to tailor a treatment plan that works for you.
- Testing and Evaluation: Hormone levels are evaluated through blood tests to determine any imbalances. This helps us choose the most effective treatment option for you.
- Ongoing Support: As your treatment progresses, we will closely monitor your hormone levels and overall well-being. Regular follow-up appointments ensure we adjust your treatment as needed for optimal results.
- Adjustments: Hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution, which is why we will make adjustments to your treatment as necessary. We want to ensure that you are receiving the maximum benefits.
