Hormone Optimization Therapy in Murrieta, CA
WHAT IS HORMONE OPTIMIZATION THERAPY?
As part of the natural aging process or because of genetics, our hormone levels can start to change and become irregular.

To help you live more comfortably, Dr. Lily Phillips is proud to offer Hormone Optimization therapy to her Murrieta, CA community. Depending on your needs, we will assess your condition and develop a tailored treatment plan that works best for you. Please call to schedule an appointment at Ageless Grace, and learn more about this innovative procedure.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR HORMONE OPTIMIZATION?
Hormone Optimization therapy is often provided to assist people who are dealing with decreased or unbalanced hormone levels. Often, these issues are prevalent in people who are older than 40 and are beginning to notice decreases in their energy levels, sexual performance, and mental clarity in addition to weight gain or loss of muscle mass. These signs could additionally be seen in women under age 50 who have had a total hysterectomy. A hormone imbalance may cause several health concerns, like erectile dysfunction, thyroid disease, elevated cholesterol levels, nighttime sweats, difficulty sleeping, and issues with memory. People with a history or family history of heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and certain reproductive cancers may not be candidates for hormone replacement therapy. During your consultation, Dr. Phillips will review your medical history and current health to ensure you are a great candidate.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH HORMONE OPTIMIZATION
To determine if this procedure is right for you, we will complete a series of blood panels to assess your hormone levels. Dr. Phillips will also listen to your questions, cosmetic goals, and medical history. All of these factors will help her create the best treatment plan for you. This procedure can help both men and women who experience:
​
-
Decreased sexual libido
-
Decreased energy levels
-
Diminished mental clarity
-
Reduced muscle mass
-
Increased weight gain
​
For women, it can also help with vaginal dryness, PMS symptoms, hot flashes, and night sweats. After creating your tailored treatment plan, we will insert a pellet near the upper buttocks. This process should not cause discomfort. You can resume your daily activities, but you should avoid strenuous activity, swimming, and hot tubs for about a week. Because the body needs time to adjust to your newly balanced hormone levels, you should begin to experience the benefits in 3 – 6 months. We customize each patient’s treatment plan so Dr. Phillips will discuss when to schedule the next follow-up appointment.
