At Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre’ (BCSVC) we use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to optimize hormone levels. BHRT have the exact same chemical structure as our own hormones. In other words, they have not been chemically altered to allow for patenting. It is the alteration in the chemical structure that leads to the risk of long-term problems such as cancer, blood clots, and heart attacks. Optimizing hormone levels has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and also breast cancer in women.
By maintaining a healthy and balanced level of hormones you can continue to have an improved lifestyle with more energy, vigor, and a lower risk of disease.
During your visit, you will answer a questionnaire and have blood work done. Another appointment is scheduled in 2 weeks to review the laboratory results and go over a plan. The pellets are inserted under local anesthesia. There are no stitches, and you can remove the bandage in a couple of days. Pellets are placed just under the skin in the soft tissue of the buttocks. Symptom improvement generally takes 2-3 weeks. Additional lab monitoring is fairly infrequent. Usually the first follow-up visit is in 4 weeks.

“I had a mental fog, anxiety, fatigue, night sweats, and no sexual desire. Now I can focus with clarity, my mood is enhanced, the night sweats are gone, and my libido is back! I feel the best I have in years thanks to the testosterone pellet.” – Tonya, 43
“Before starting bioidentical hormones, I was constantly tired, my mind felt groggy, and I had absolutely no energy. After seeing my low levels of testosterone and progesterone, Dr. Bailey and I developed a treatment plan, and I saw results within a week. I am sleeping better, my mood improved, I have mental clarity, and I have increased energy and libido! I cannot thank Dr. Bailey and his staff enough for giving me back my old self!” – Rebecca, 31
