Before your consultation, we draw labs to understand where your hormone levels are. This ensures your consultation is constructive towards helping you accomplish your goals. We discuss the results of your labs and create a custom hormone mixture that will restore your levels and help you feel more balanced. Then, our team will schedule your appointment for you to receive your hormone pellets.
Balance Your Hormones to Optimize Your Health
There are many natural side effects that come with aging—and they can be uncomfortable.
Hot flashes, low libido, fatigue, and other symptoms can easily affect our daily lives, making us feel less like ourselves every day. At Crescent Wellness & Weight Loss, we dedicate ourselves to helping you feel like your best self.
Imbalanced hormones cause many of these symptoms. As we age, our natural production of hormones decreases, which can quickly cause our hormone levels to become imbalanced. By providing HRT in Florence, we can re-balance your hormones and optimize your health, making you feel like yourself again.

How it Works
Hormone replacement therapy works by supplementing hormones (which were once naturally produced) back into your body.
Both men and women have natural hormone cycles that begin at puberty and typically end around middle age. When these hormone cycles end, it can disrupt your life, causing you to experience fatigue, sleeping issues, and more.
We measure your specific hormone levels at our health clinic, seeing which hormones you need to put your levels back into balance. After we learn what hormones you need, we create a customized blend of hormones that work to restore your health and get you back to feeling like yourself.
What to Expect
We offer your unique hormone solution in a condensed, slow-release pellet that is inserted into the buttocks. Before inserting the pellets, we clean the treatment area, spray a topical numbing solution, and inject lidocaine into the area. A sterile field is created, and a small incision is made, we then use a tool called a trocar to insert the pellets into the fatty tissue before closing the incision with Steri-Strips. A clean dressing is applied.
Once your pellets are inserted, your provider will give you all the aftercare instructions to ensure your incision heals nicely. We will repeat your labs after 6 weeks to see how the pellets are affecting your hormone levels and can adjust your pellet solution as needed. Once we have found the right hormone mixture for you, we will re-insert pellets every 6 months for men and 3 to 4 months for women.

Benefits of HRT
Customized Treatment
When you receive HRT in Florence, it’s not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Our HRT pellets are customized to your needs and optimized for your body.
Lasting Solutions
Unlike injected HRT, we place pellets under the skin and slowly release hormones over time. This balances hormones for 3-4 months in women, and 5-6 months in men.
Sexual Benefits
One of the most common symptoms of imbalanced hormones is low libido. When you optimize your hormone levels, you can improve your time spent in the bedroom.
Pre/Post Care Instructions
-
Let your provider know about all medications you take. Some medications work against HRT and reduce its efficacy
-
Drink plenty of water before beginning treatment to ensure your body is properly hydrated
-
Keep drinking plenty of water. This will help improve your health and increase the efficacy of HRT
-
Maintain a healthy, balanced diet, as fat deposits release certain hormones and work against your treatment
-
Avoid strenuous exercise for one week.
-
Do not submerge in water post procedure. Three days for women and five days for men.
