When the way you look reflects the way you feel, beauty takes on an entirely new meaning. This has always been our philosophy at Radiant Skin, where our team of expert providers goes beyond the surface with a full suite of wellness treatments. Our hormone replacement and peptide therapy treatments support lasting vitality, glowing skin and overall well-being for true, complete rejuvenation.
It’s time to dispel the “either/or” myth. With the Radiant Skin Wellness suite, you can look and feel your best with safe and effective treatments that work with your body’s natural processes. For many women, this starts with restoring hormone balance.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) works to restore balance when your body’s natural hormone production declines or becomes irregular. This treatment addresses deficiencies in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones and cortisol, all of which play vital roles in how you look and feel.
Understanding the Connection Between Hormones and Your Skin
Your hormones act as chemical messengers throughout your body, influencing everything from your energy levels to your skin’s appearance. When these delicate systems fall out of balance, the effects ripple outward in ways you can see and feel. You might notice your skin losing its firmness, developing new lines or becoming drier than usual. Fatigue, mood changes and difficulty maintaining your weight can all signal that your hormones need attention.
Hormonal balance is a perfect example of the relationship between internal wellness and external beauty. When hormone levels are not where they need to be, you may experience accelerated aging, breakouts, dull or uneven complexion and other issues. By addressing these internal factors, you treat the symptoms by treating the root causes for more sustainable and well-rounded results.
How Do I Know I Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?
While hormonal imbalances can occur at any age, they are particularly common during menopause and perimenopause (as well as andropause in men). Thyroid disorders, adrenal gland issues and pituitary gland problems can all throw your hormonal equilibrium off. Internal factors like menopause and external factors like chronic stress and poor diet can all trigger these imbalances.
Signs of hormonal imbalance can vary significantly from person to person. You might feel fatigued or gain weight without changing anything in your diet and exercise routines. You may suddenly find yourself experiencing mood swings or increased difficulty sleeping. Your skin may become noticeably drier, thinner or more prone to breakouts. Hot flashes, reduced libido and mental fog are all common indicators that your hormones need attention.
If these symptoms sound familiar, a consultation with Radiant Skin’s wellness team can help determine whether HRT might benefit you.
The Radiant Skin Approach
HRT at Radiant Skin begins with thorough diagnostics. Before any treatment starts, comprehensive blood work measures your hormone levels to create a complete picture of your hormonal health. Your provider will perform a detailed review of your medical history while assessing your symptoms with a physical examination. In some cases, additional testing, like ultrasound or bone density scans, may be necessary for us to clearly identify the underlying factors in play.
Once we’ve clearly assessed your unique hormonal profile, we will deliver a fully tailored approach to supplementing deficient hormones using one or more of the following methods:
- Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
- Pellet Therapy
- Topical Creams and Gels
- Oral Medications
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are small molecules made up of short sequences of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins found throughout your body. These powerful compounds support communication between cells, as well as tissue repair and regeneration. In skincare and wellness, peptides stand out for their ability to boost collagen production, helping maintain your skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Unlike more invasive anti-aging treatments, peptide therapy works alongside your body’s natural processes to promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin from within. By delivering concentrated doses of peptides directly to your skin, this therapy helps stimulate collagen synthesis and combat visible signs of aging.
At Radiant Skin, peptide therapy treatments are customized to every patient. In your initial consultation, we will carefully assess your skin type, concerns and desired outcomes. Based on this evaluation, your practitioner will develop a targeted treatment plan.
The Peptide Therapy Treatment Process
We often use microneedling and other sophisticated delivery methods to infuse the peptides into deeper tissue layers. The collagen-boosting effects of microneedling beautifully complement the peptides.
Topical peptide products like serums and creams build on your in-office treatments. These products deliver concentrated peptides that penetrate deep into your skin layers, enhancing and maintaining the effects of peptide treatment.
Most clients notice improvements within a few weeks of their first treatment, with optimal results typically appearing after several months of consistent use. The timeline varies based on your age, skin type and the specific peptides used in your personalized protocol.
Benefits of Peptide Therapy for Skin and Wellness
Peptide therapy offers multiple advantages for your complexion and overall vitality. By promoting collagen activity, peptides give your skin that smooth, taut look and feel, all while minimizing fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look.
Some peptides control melanin production, which can reduce the appearance of age spots and sun damage. Others play a crucial role in your skin’s natural healing process, speeding up repair and recovery, which is particularly beneficial if you have damaged or compromised skin.
Certain peptides have hydrating properties that attract and retain moisture in your skin, creating a plump, dewy complexion that our patients love.
The Missing Piece: Thyroid Hormone Balancing
For such a small gland, the thyroid truly does have a major impact on your overall health. This butterfly-shaped gland in your neck produces hormones responsible for regulating your metabolism, energy production and body temperature. Suffice it to say, when your thyroid isn’t functioning at its best, the effects touch nearly every aspect of your well-being.
Thyroid imbalances can cause unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, persistent fatigue, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, thinning hair and cognitive issues like brain fog. Because these symptoms often take hold gradually, they are often harder to detect or are mislabeled as stemming from other causes.
Well-informed thyroid hormone balancing requires testing your thyroid hormone levels and, when necessary, supplementing with thyroid medication to restore equilibrium. This process works hand-in-hand with hormone replacement therapy, as your thyroid hormones interact closely with other hormones in your body.
At Radiant Skin, thyroid optimization is part of the comprehensive wellness approach. Your provider will evaluate your thyroid health alongside your other hormone levels, creating an integrated treatment plan that addresses all aspects of your hormonal health.
