Hormone replacement therapy in Spanish Fork
When you do not feel like yourself,
the answer starts with understanding why.
Hormones influence many body systems, but fatigue, sleep disruption, mood changes, weight changes, and sexual symptoms can have many possible causes. A careful evaluation matters before treatment begins.
At Revival Aesthetics and Wellness, hormone replacement therapy is personalized. Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical and family history, medications, goals, and appropriate laboratory information before discussing whether hormone therapy—and which delivery method—may fit your needs.
For appropriate patients, hormone therapy may be considered for certain menopause-related symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, or discomfort with sexual activity. Benefits and risks depend on the hormone, dose, route, timing, and individual health profile.1
What it is
Prescription hormone therapy intended to address a clinically evaluated need using a plan selected for the individual patient.
What “bioidentical” means
A hormone with the same chemical structure as a hormone produced by the body. The term does not, by itself, indicate FDA approval or prove greater safety.1
Why follow-up matters
Symptoms, side effects, clinical response, and relevant testing may change over time. Ongoing monitoring keeps the plan connected to your health.
The symptom conversation
Your symptoms are signals.
They are not a diagnosis.
Explore common reasons people begin a hormone-health conversation. These experiences can overlap with other medical, sleep, nutritional, psychological, or lifestyle factors.
When the usual rhythm feels harder
Changes in energy
Persistent fatigue or reduced stamina may lead someone to ask about hormone health. Because these symptoms are nonspecific, evaluation may also consider sleep, thyroid function, nutrition, medications, mood, anemia, and other health factors.
Hormone therapy is not a general energy treatment and should follow a clinically supported diagnosis.
Every plan begins with a conversation
The Revival approach
Personalized does not mean improvised.
It means carefully considered.
Your consultation is designed to connect how you feel with the medical context behind those symptoms. The goal is not to chase a single number. It is to build a clear picture of your health and determine whether treatment is appropriate.

Symptoms & goals
What has changed, when it began, and how it affects daily life.
- 02
Health history
Medical conditions, reproductive history, surgeries, family history, and prior hormone use.

- 01
Consult
Tell us what has changed.
Your provider reviews symptoms, goals, personal and family history, medications, prior therapies, and factors that may affect candidacy.
- 02
Evaluate
Look beyond one number.
Appropriate examination and laboratory testing may be used alongside your history and symptoms. Testing and treatment decisions depend on the clinical situation.
- 03
Plan
Discuss the full picture.
If treatment is appropriate, your provider discusses the proposed hormone, formulation, route, expected benefits, alternatives, product approval status, risks, and monitoring plan.
- 04
Treat
Place the pellet carefully.
For pellet therapy, the area is prepared and numbed, a small incision is made, and the pellet is placed beneath the skin. Exact technique and aftercare are explained by your provider.
- 05
Follow
Monitor how you respond.
Scheduled follow-up helps evaluate symptoms, side effects, the insertion site, and relevant clinical or laboratory findings. Timing and future treatment are individualized.
Understanding pellet therapy
A small format.
A significant decision.
A hormone pellet is placed in tissue beneath the skin and is intended to release its contents over time. Because a pellet cannot be adjusted as readily as a daily oral or transdermal product after placement—and may not be easily removed—product selection, dosing, informed consent, and follow-up deserve careful attention.2
Ask your provider to identify the exact product and formulation being proposed, whether it is FDA-approved or compounded, what evidence supports its use for your situation, and which alternatives are available.

Why some patients ask about pellets
- No daily application or pill for the duration of the pellet.
- Designed for gradual release over time.
- Placement occurs during an in-office procedure.
- Follow-up is planned around the individual response.
What deserves a direct conversation
- The exact hormone, dose, and FDA approval status.
- Procedure-site risks and aftercare.
- Limited ability to change the dose after placement.
- Alternatives using FDA-approved oral, transdermal, or local products when appropriate.

A consultation before a prescription
Is hormone therapy right for you?
Candidacy cannot be determined from symptoms alone. The appropriate treatment—if any—depends on diagnosis, age, health history, risk factors, medications, treatment goals, and the specific hormone and route being considered.
A consultation may make sense if…
- Persistent symptoms are affecting quality of life.
- You want a medical evaluation rather than guessing from symptoms.
- You are ready to discuss hormone and non-hormone options.
- You can participate in scheduled monitoring and follow-up.
Tell your provider about…
- Pregnancy or the possibility of pregnancy.
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding or relevant cancer history.
- Blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or liver disease.
- All medicines, supplements, prior hormones, and allergies.
For menopause hormone therapy, FDA identifies several conditions that may make treatment inappropriate.1
Clear information is part of good care
Important hormone therapy safety information
This summary is educational and does not replace the prescribing information for the exact product, informed consent, or an individualized discussion with a licensed provider.
“Bioidentical” does not mean risk-free—or automatically FDA-approved.
Some FDA-approved hormone products contain hormones identical to those made by the body. Compounded products are not FDA-approved, and FDA states it does not have evidence that compounded bioidentical hormone therapy is safer or more effective than FDA-approved therapy.1
What risks should be discussed?
Risks depend on the hormone, dose, formulation, route, duration, age, timing, and personal history. Depending on the therapy, discussion may include blood clots, stroke, cardiovascular effects, breast or endometrial cancer considerations, gallbladder disease, bleeding changes, acne, hair changes, breast tenderness, mood changes, and other product-specific effects. Review the exact medication information with your provider.1
What are pellet-specific considerations?
Pellet therapy involves a minor insertion procedure, so bruising, bleeding, tenderness, scarring, infection, or pellet extrusion may occur. A pellet may not be easily removed or adjusted after insertion. ACOG recommends considering delivery methods other than pellet therapy for testosterone because of limited safety data and the inability to remove the pellet.2
Are compounded hormones regulated like FDA-approved medicines?
No. Compounded preparations are not reviewed by FDA for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality before marketing. The Endocrine Society notes concerns about consistency in dose and purity and recommends careful counseling about these limitations.3
When should I contact a medical professional urgently?
Follow the emergency guidance for your exact medication and procedure. Seek urgent evaluation for symptoms such as chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, one-sided weakness, severe sudden headache, significant leg swelling, severe allergic symptoms, heavy or unexplained bleeding, or signs of a serious insertion-site infection.
Did FDA recently change menopause hormone therapy labeling?
Yes. In February 2026, FDA announced approved labeling changes for six menopausal hormone therapy products, including removal of certain risks from boxed warnings while retaining product-specific warnings and risk information elsewhere in labeling. This update concerns specific FDA-approved products and does not establish that every hormone product or compounded pellet has the same evidence or approval status.4
Hormone therapy FAQ
Questions deserve
clear answers.
These general answers cannot determine candidacy or replace the consent information for a specific hormone product.
Ask in consultation (opens in a new tab)What is hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy is prescription treatment that provides one or more hormones when a clinician determines there is an appropriate indication. The hormone, dose, route, and duration depend on the diagnosis and individual patient.
What does “bioidentical hormone” mean?
It means the hormone has the same chemical structure as a hormone produced by the body. Some bioidentical hormone products are FDA-approved; others are compounded and are not FDA-approved. The word alone does not show that a product is safer or more effective.1
What is hormone pellet therapy?
Pellet therapy places a small hormone-containing pellet beneath the skin for release over time. Ask which hormone and formulation is proposed, its approval status, expected duration, alternatives, and what can be done if side effects occur.
How is a hormone pellet inserted?
The treatment area is prepared and numbed. A small incision is made, the pellet is positioned in tissue beneath the skin, and the site is dressed. Your provider supplies exact activity restrictions, wound care, and warning signs.
How soon might I notice a change?
Some patients report changes within the first several weeks, but timing varies with the symptom, diagnosis, hormone, formulation, dose, and individual response. A 2–3 week estimate should not be treated as a guarantee.
How long does a hormone pellet last?
Duration varies by the exact product, dose, metabolism, and clinical response. Revival will explain the expected interval for the proposed formulation and schedule follow-up rather than applying one timeline to every patient.
Can a pellet dose be adjusted after insertion?
Not as easily as a daily oral, topical, or transdermal therapy. A pellet may not be easily removed, which is why dose selection, informed consent, and a discussion of alternative delivery methods are important before placement.2
Will I need laboratory testing?
Testing depends on the clinical situation. Appropriate labs may support evaluation or monitoring, but results should be interpreted with symptoms, history, examination, medications, and the specific treatment—not used as a stand-alone diagnosis.
Can HRT help with fatigue, weight, mood, or libido?
Those symptoms may occur alongside hormonal changes, but they can also have many other causes. Treatment should target a clinically evaluated condition, and no responsible provider can promise that hormone therapy will correct every nonspecific symptom.
Who may not be a candidate for menopause hormone therapy?
FDA advises that menopause hormone therapy may not be appropriate for people who are pregnant, have unexplained vaginal bleeding, certain cancers, prior blood clots, stroke or heart attack, or liver disease. The exact contraindications depend on the proposed product and your health history.1
