At G&G Med Spa in Wilmington, DE, we offer personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to help you achieve optimal hormonal balance. Whether you're a man or a woman experiencing the effects of aging, menopause, or low testosterone, HRT can help restore your vitality and improve your quality of life. Our treatments are tailored to your specific needs, addressing hormonal imbalances to alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being.

How It Works

Hormone Replacement Therapy involves replenishing the body's natural hormone levels with bioidentical hormones that are similar to those your body produces. Through a variety of delivery methods, including creams, injections, pellets, or patches, HRT helps restore hormonal balance, which can reduce the symptoms of age-related hormone declines, such as fatigue, mood swings, and sexual dysfunction. This safe and effective therapy helps promote better health, energy, and emotional well-being.

Conditions Treated with Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT is beneficial for both men and women experiencing a range of hormonal imbalances. For women, it is commonly used to treat the symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. For men, HRT is often prescribed to address low testosterone levels, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, reduced libido, and decreased muscle mass.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

For women, Hormone Replacement Therapy is most often used during menopause, a phase where the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone. This leads to common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. By supplementing estrogen and progesterone, HRT can provide relief from these symptoms and help prevent the long-term effects of estrogen loss, such as bone thinning and heart disease.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

For men, testosterone levels naturally decline with age, leading to a condition known as Low Testosterone or "Low T." Symptoms of Low T include fatigue, reduced libido, decreased muscle mass, and mood disturbances. HRT, often in the form of testosterone replacement therapy, helps restore testosterone levels, enhancing energy, mood, and overall health. It can also support muscle mass, bone density, and sexual health.
