Questions About Dermal Fillers

  • What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

    Dermal fillers restore volume and smooth out lines. Common treatment areas include cheeks, lips, jawline, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows for a refreshed, youthful look.They can also enhance facial contours and correct asymmetry. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best product and treatment areas to help you achieve natural-looking, balanced results, tailored just for you.

  • How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

    Results with fillers are visible immediately after treatment, though there may be minor swelling or bruising initially. The full effect will reveal itself in a few days as swelling settles. Depending on the type of filler and where it's placed, your rejuvenated look can last six to eighteen months. We’ll guide you on maintaining your results and schedule touch-ups as needed.

  • Is there downtime after filler injections?

    Downtime is minimal! You might experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising in the injection area, but most clients return to their usual activities right away.We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours to minimize swelling. Most side effects resolve within a few days, so you can enjoy your results quickly and confidently.

  • What are hyaluronic acid fillers?

    Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are injectable gels designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts water and improves skin hydration, elasticity, and plumpness.


  • What areas can be treated with HA fillers?

    HA fillers are versatile and commonly used to enhance:

    • Cheeks and midface volume
    • Lips (lip augmentation and hydration)
    • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
    • Marionette lines
    • Chin and jawline
    • Temples
    • Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
    • Nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty)

  • How long do HA fillers last?

    Depending on the product and treatment area, HA fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months. Areas with less movement (like the cheeks) tend to retain results longer than high-mobility areas (like the lips).

  • Are dermal fillers safe?

    Yes. HA fillers are FDA-approved and have a strong safety profile when administered by a licensed and experienced injector. At REJUV Medical, we prioritize safety, precision, and natural results.

  • What is the difference between Botox and filler?

    Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while HA fillers add volume and contour. Botox is typically used for dynamic lines (caused by movement), and fillers address static wrinkles, volume loss, and facial sculpting.


  • Does getting filler hurt?

    Most patients report minimal discomfort. We use topical numbing and gentle techniques to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Many fillers also contain lidocaine to ease discomfort during injection.


  • When will I see results from filler?

    Results from HA fillers are visible immediately after treatment, with full settling typically occurring within 1 to 2 weeks once swelling subsides.


  • What should I avoid after filler injections?

    Post-treatment, avoid the following for at least 24–48 hours:

    • Touching or massaging treated areas
    • Intense exercise
    • Alcohol and salty foods
    • Heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs)
    • Lying flat immediately after treatment

    Filler pricing varies based on the type of product and number of syringes used. At REJUV Medical, we provide personalized treatment plans and offer event specials and package pricing.


  • Who is a good candidate for hyaluronic acid filler?

    Ideal candidates are healthy individuals seeking to restore facial volume, enhance features, or correct signs of aging. A personalized consultation will help determine the best approach for your needs and facial anatomy.


Questions About Microneedling

  • What is microneedling and how does it work?

    Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. It improves skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall glow.


  • What are the benefits of microneedling?

    Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin. It’s excellent for improving texture, reducing acne scars, minimizing pore appearance, and diminishing fine lines.  This minimally invasive treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries, kicking your body’s natural healing response into gear. Over time, your skin will feel softer, look brighter, and appear more youthful, with little downtime.

  • Does microneedling hurt?

    Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes before the procedure to ensure a comfortable experience.


  • How many treatments will I need?

    Many people see improved skin texture after a single session, but a series of three to six treatments often offers optimal results for scarring, wrinkles, or more stubborn concerns.  Treatments are spaced about four to six weeks apart. We’ll customize a plan during your consultation based on your skin’s condition and your desired outcome for beautiful, lasting results.

  • What skin concerns does microneedling treat?

    Microneedling is effective for:

    • Acne scars and surgical scars
    • Fine lines and wrinkles
    • Enlarged pores
    • Uneven skin tone and texture
    • Stretch marks
    • Skin laxity and dullness
    • Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

  • What’s the difference between microneedling with exosomes, PRP, and PRF?

    Each biologic booster enhances microneedling in unique ways:

    • Exosomes: Cell-derived messengers rich in growth factors and peptides. Exosomes promote powerful regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing—ideal for those seeking advanced anti-aging and skin repair without a blood draw.
    • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Derived from your own blood, PRP contains concentrated platelets that stimulate healing and collagen production. Great for skin rejuvenation, especially in those with early signs of aging.
    • PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin): A next-generation version of PRP with a slower release of growth factors for longer-lasting results. PRF includes more white blood cells and stem cells, making it ideal for under-eye hollows and delicate areas.

  • Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

    Yes! Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin tones and types when performed by a licensed and trained provider. It's a great option for people seeking a natural, non-laser-based rejuvenation method.


  • How many microneedling sessions do I need?

    Most patients see best results after a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns and goals. Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months can help prolong results.


  • How long is the recovery after microneedling?

    Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, slight swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for 24–72 hours. Skin may lightly peel as it heals. Most clients return to normal activities the next day.


  • What should I avoid after microneedling?

    Post-procedure, avoid for 48–72 hours:

    • Direct sun exposure
    • Harsh skincare products (retinol, acids, exfoliants)
    • Heat, steam rooms, saunas
    • Sweating and intense exercise
    • Makeup (for 24 hours)

  • When will I see results from microneedling?

    Some clients notice an immediate glow, but true improvements develop over the following 2–6 weeks as collagen builds. Skin continues to improve for months after a full treatment series.


  • How much does microneedling cost?

    Pricing varies based on the use of boosters like exosomes, PRP, or PRF, and the number of sessions. At REJUV Medical, we offer personalized packages and seasonal promotions. Book a consultation for customized pricing.

Questions About Weight Loss Program

  • What is a GLP-1 weight loss program?

    A GLP-1 weight loss program uses FDA-approved medications like semaglutide (Ozempic® or Wegovy®) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), which mimic the GLP-1 hormone in your body to regulate appetite, slow digestion, and support long-term weight loss. At REJUV Medical, this treatment is paired with medical supervision, nutrition support, and lifestyle coaching to ensure safety and success.

Questions About Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL)

  • What concerns does IPL treat?

    IPL, or “photofacial,” treats sun damage, age spots, redness, broken capillaries, and uneven pigmentation. It gives you a clearer, more even complexion and a youthful glow.It’s also useful for treating rosacea or minor scarring. IPL works by targeting pigment and blood vessels in the skin using light energy, which your body then naturally removes over time.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    A typical course is three to five sessions, spaced about three weeks apart. However, this can vary depending on the type and severity of your concerns.Improvements appear gradually with each treatment. Your provider will create a tailored plan to achieve your desired level of correction and brightness for your skin’s healthiest appearance.

  • Is there any downtime?

    Downtime is minimal. You might experience mild redness, darkening of spots, or slight swelling for a day or two, but most people return to regular activities immediately.Sun protection is essential after treatment. Any pigment changes usually flake off within a few days, leaving your skin looking fresh, even, and luminous.

  • What is IPL treatment?

    IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses broad-spectrum light energy to target pigmentation, sun damage, redness, and signs of aging. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL treats multiple skin concerns at once with minimal downtime.


  • What skin concerns does IPL help treat?

    IPL is ideal for improving:

    • Sun spots and age spots
    • Rosacea and redness
    • Broken capillaries
    • Uneven skin tone
    • Freckles
    • Fine lines and texture
    • Acne-related pigmentation
    • It can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
  • How does IPL work?

    IPL emits multiple wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin and target melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (redness). The light energy is absorbed by these targets, breaking them down and allowing the body to naturally remove them over time. IPL also stimulates collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.


  • Is IPL the same as a laser treatment?

    No, IPL is not a laser. While both use light energy to treat skin, IPL delivers broad-spectrum light, making it more versatile for treating various skin concerns simultaneously. It’s gentler than many laser treatments, with less downtime.


  • What does IPL feel like? Does it hurt?

    Most clients describe the sensation as a quick rubber band snap followed by a warm feeling. A cooling gel and optional numbing cream may be used for added comfort. The treatment is generally well tolerated.


  • How many IPL treatments will I need?

    Most people see noticeable improvement after just 1–2 sessions, but a series of 3–5 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.


  • Is there downtime after IPL?

    IPL has minimal downtime. You may experience:

    • Mild redness (like a sunburn) for a few hours
    • Darkening of brown spots before they flake off in 3–7 days
    • Sensitivity to sun exposure

    Makeup can usually be worn the next day, and most clients return to daily activities right away.


  • Who is a good candidate for IPL?

    IPL works best on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III) and is ideal for those with sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and redness. Darker skin types may be better suited for chemical peels or RF microneedling, depending on the concern.


  • What should I avoid before and after IPL treatment?

    To ensure the best results and avoid side effects, avoid:


    Before:

    • Sun exposure and tanning beds for 2–4 weeks
    • Retinoids and exfoliants 3–5 days before

    After:

    • Direct sun exposure
    • Hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours
    • Harsh products for 3–5 days

    Always apply broad-spectrum SPF daily after treatment.


  • How much does IPL cost?

    Pricing varies by treatment area and number of sessions. At REJUV Medical, we offer custom IPL packages and event-only specials. Schedule a consultation for personalized pricing.


  • What’s the difference between IPL and BBL?

    IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and BBL (BroadBand Light) are both light-based skin rejuvenation treatments that target pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. BBL is essentially a branded, advanced form of IPL technology, but there is currently no scientific evidence proving that BBL is clinically superior to IPL in terms of results.


    The differences come down to device design and manufacturer branding:

    • BBL devices may offer more customizable settings and integrated cooling features.
    • IPL and BBL both treat conditions like sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and uneven skin tone effectively.
    • The skill of the provider, the quality of the device, and the personalized treatment plan matter more than the brand of technology.

    At REJUV Medical, we use high-performance IPL devices and customize each treatment based on your unique skin needs to ensure safe, visible, and lasting results.


Questions About PDO Threads

  • What are PDO threads?

    PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are biodegradable surgical sutures that are safely inserted under the skin to lift, tighten, and stimulate collagen production. Commonly called a “thread lift,” this non-surgical treatment offers a natural-looking lift and rejuvenation without the downtime of traditional facelift surgery.


  • What areas can be treated with PDO thread lifts?

    PDO threads can be used to lift and firm several areas of the face and body, including:

    • Jawline and jowls
    • Cheeks and midface
    • Neck and décolleté
    • Brows and forehead
    • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
    • Under eyes

    Some threads can also be used on the abdomen, knees, and arms for skin tightening.


  • How do PDO threads work?

    PDO threads are inserted beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. Once in place, they:

    • Mechanically lift sagging tissue
    • Stimulate your body’s natural collagen production
    • Improve skin texture and elasticity over time
    • The threads dissolve safely within 4–6 months, but their lifting and tightening effects can last up to 12–18 months.

  • Are PDO threads safe?

    Yes, PDO threads have been used in medical procedures for decades and are FDA-cleared for aesthetic use. When performed by a qualified medical provider, they are safe, minimally invasive, and offer long-lasting results with little downtime.


  • What’s the difference between lifting threads and smooth (collagen-stimulating) threads?

    • Lifting threads have barbs or cones to physically reposition and lift sagging tissue.
    • Smooth threads are smaller and placed in mesh patterns to boost collagen and tighten fine lines without lifting.
    • Both types are often used together for full facial rejuvenation.
  • What is the downtime after a PDO thread lift?

    Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for a few days. You can typically return to work and social activities within 24–48 hours. Avoid vigorous exercise and facial massages for about 1–2 weeks.


  • Who is a good candidate for PDO threads?

    PDO thread lifts are ideal for adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical lift and skin tightening. It’s best for those not ready for a facelift but wanting more than fillers can offer.


  • Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?

    Absolutely! PDO threads pair well with dermal fillers, neurotoxins (like Botox), microneedling, RF skin tightening, and laser treatments for enhanced and longer-lasting results. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan for your goals.

  • How long do the results of a PDO thread lift last?

    While the threads dissolve within 4–6 months, the collagen remodeling and skin tightening effects can last up to 12–18 months. Maintenance treatments every 12–18 months can help extend your results.


  • How much does a PDO thread lift cost?

    The cost varies depending on the number and type of threads used, as well as the areas treated. At REJUV Medical, we offer custom pricing and package options during your consultation to fit your needs and budget.

Questions About Laser Hair Removal

  • Is laser hair removal permanent?

    Laser hair removal provides long-term reduction, but some hair may eventually regrow thinner and lighter than before. Maintenance sessions can keep skin smooth and hair-free for the long run. It's perfect for reducing unwanted hair on virtually any body area. Many clients require very little upkeep after finishing their initial series of treatments, enjoying lasting confidence and convenience.

  • How many sessions are needed?

    Most individuals need six to eight sessions spaced several weeks apart for best results. The number depends on your hair color, texture, and growth cycle.We personalize your treatment schedule for optimal outcomes. You’ll notice gradual improvement after each visit until areas are silky-smooth and virtually hair-free.

  • Which areas can be treated?

    Laser hair removal can be performed almost anywhere with unwanted hair—popular areas include legs, underarms, bikini line, upper lip, face, arms, back, and chest. It’s a versatile solution for both small and large areas.During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and create a treatment plan. Because the technology is both precise and safe, you can feel confident targeting even delicate areas, achieving lasting results with minimal discomfort and convenience.

  • What is Laser Hair Removal?

    Laser hair removal is a non-invasive, long-term hair reduction treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target hair follicles. The energy from the laser disables the follicle, preventing future hair growth. This treatment is ideal for those looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair on the face, legs, arms, bikini area, and more.


  • What type of laser is used for your hair removal treatment?

    At REJUV Medical, we use the Diode Laser, which is considered the gold standard for laser hair removal. The diode laser is highly effective for various skin types and hair colors and delivers precise, safe, and lasting results. It’s one of the most advanced lasers in the industry for hair removal.

  • What makes the Diode Laser the "gold standard" for hair removal?

    The Diode Laser is regarded as the gold standard due to its efficiency, safety, and versatility. It can effectively treat a wide range of hair types and skin tones, offering precise results with minimal discomfort and downtime. It’s also known for its powerful energy and advanced cooling technology, making it safer and more comfortable for patients.

  • How does Diode Laser Hair Removal work?

    The Diode Laser uses focused light energy that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. This light is converted into heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future hair growth. Because the laser targets hair in the growth phase, multiple treatments are needed to achieve the best results.


  • Are there different types of lasers for hair removal?

    Yes, there are several types of lasers used for hair removal, including:

    • Diode Laser – The gold standard, ideal for medium to dark skin tones and various hair types.
    • Alexandrite Laser – Best for light to medium skin tones and lighter hair colors.
    • ND:YAG Laser – Suitable for darker skin tones but less effective for fine or light hair.
    • Ruby Laser – The oldest type, effective for light skin and dark hair, but not commonly used anymore due to slower results.

    While each laser has its advantages, the Diode Laser is considered the most effective and versatile for a wide range of skin types and hair colors.

  • How many treatments are needed for optimal results?

    Most clients require 4–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve the best results. Since hair grows in cycles, the laser is most effective during the anagen (growth) phase. Additional maintenance treatments may be needed once a year to keep hair at bay.


  • Is Laser Hair Removal painful?

    Laser hair removal is generally well-tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a light snapping or tingling feeling. The Diode Laser used at REJUV Medical is equipped with advanced cooling technology, which minimizes discomfort and makes the procedure more comfortable.

Questions About Sculptra

  • What is Sculptra?

    Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Unlike traditional fillers that immediately add volume, Sculptra works gradually to provide long-lasting, natural-looking results over time.

  • How is Sculptra different from regular fillers?

    Sculptra doesn’t just fill—it stimulates your own collagen production, creating volume and firmness from within. The effects appear gradually rather than right away, so changes look soft, subtle, and natural.Since Sculptra builds your own tissue, results last longer than most hyaluronic acid fillers. It’s a perfect choice for those seeking anti-aging solutions that evolve beautifully with time, blending seamlessly with your natural facial contours.

  • How soon will I see results?

    Sculptra results are not immediate. You’ll notice a gradual improvement in fullness and skin texture over several weeks to months as new collagen develops in your skin.Because the process is gentle and biologically driven, friends and family will notice you looking fresher and younger—without dramatic changes overnight. We’ll guide you on a treatment plan for best, longest-lasting outcomes.

  • What areas of the face can be treated with Sculptra?

    Sculptra is most commonly used to treat the following areas:

    • Cheeks and midface – Restores lost volume and enhances cheek contours.
    • Nasolabial folds – Softens deep lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
    • Marionette lines – Reduces the appearance of sagging skin around the mouth.
    • Temple area – Adds volume and restores fullness to hollowed temples.
    • Sculptra can also be used for overall facial rejuvenation.

  • How many Sculptra sessions do I need?

    Most patients require 2–3 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve the desired results. The number of sessions may vary depending on your individual goals and the areas being treated. Sculptra works gradually, so results develop over time and can last up to 2 years.


  • Is Sculptra better than other dermal fillers?

    Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add immediate volume, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This gradual process provides more long-lasting and subtle results. While other fillers offer immediate results, Sculptra is ideal for patients seeking natural, youthful volume restoration over time, especially for those with moderate to severe volume loss.


  • Is Sculptra painful?

    Sculptra injections are generally well-tolerated. The treatment may cause a mild sensation of pressure, but numbing agents or topical anesthetics are often used to minimize discomfort. Some patients report a feeling of mild discomfort or swelling after the procedure, which usually resolves within a few days.

  • How long do Sculptra results last?

    The results of Sculptra can last up to 2 years, with gradual improvements over time. The longevity of the results depends on factors such as your age, lifestyle, and skin condition. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to keep results looking fresh.


  • Are there any side effects of Sculptra?

    Sculptra is generally well-tolerated, but some temporary side effects can occur, including swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These effects usually subside within a few days. In rare cases, patients may experience small lumps under the skin, which can be massaged away. Always follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to minimize side effects.

  • How should I prepare for my Sculptra treatment?

    Before your Sculptra treatment, we recommend:

    • Avoiding blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) for a few days to reduce bruising.
    • Arriving with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions.
    • Informing your provider of any allergies or medical conditions.

  • Can Sculptra be combined with other treatments?

    Yes, Sculptra can be combined with other aesthetic treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, or microneedling to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan to address your unique concerns and goals.


  • Who is a good candidate for Sculptra?

    Sculptra is ideal for patients who are experiencing volume loss, especially in the cheeks or midface, or those looking for a non-surgical way to restore youthful contours. It’s best for patients with moderate to severe signs of aging who want a more natural, gradual result rather than an instant filler effect.


  • How much does Sculptra cost?

    The cost of Sculptra varies depending on the number of sessions needed, the treatment areas, and the amount of product used. At REJUV Medical, we offer customized pricing and package options during your consultation to fit your goals and budget.


  • What is the recovery time after Sculptra injections?

    There is minimal downtime after Sculptra injections. Some patients may experience swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. You can return to your regular activities immediately after the procedure, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or touching the treated areas for 24–48 hours.


  • How does Sculptra work?

    Sculptra is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable material that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. When injected, it helps to rebuild lost facial volume and improve skin texture by encouraging the body’s natural collagen synthesis. The result is a firmer, more youthful appearance that lasts longer than other fillers.


Questions About Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

  • What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

    Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment designed to restore hormone levels to a more balanced state. It uses bioidentical hormones, which are derived from natural plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. BHRT can help manage symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and reduced libido.


  • What symptoms can this help?

    Many people turn to BHRT for issues like chronic fatigue, night sweats, weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, poor sleep, and low libido. Balancing your hormones often helps relieve these frustrating symptoms.By restoring equilibrium, you may notice improved concentration, motivation, and overall wellness. We work with you closely to continually monitor your progress and adjust your therapy for truly individualized care.

  • Who is a good candidate for BHRT?

    BHRT is beneficial for both men and women experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances. Women in perimenopause and menopause, as well as men facing andropause or low testosterone, are often ideal candidates. If you're dealing with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, or sleep disturbances, BHRT may be a solution.


  • How do I know if I need BHRT?

    If you're experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia, or low libido, it may be time to consider hormone testing. At Rejuv Medical, we conduct comprehensive blood tests to assess your hormone levels and help determine if BHRT is right for you.


  • How does BHRT work?

    BHRT works by restoring your natural hormone balance. It uses bioidentical hormones that are customized to match your body’s specific needs. These hormones are available in various forms, including topical creams, injections, pellets, or sublingual drops, and are designed to gradually restore your hormone levels to improve your overall health and well-being.


  • What are the benefits of BHRT?

    BHRT offers numerous benefits, including:

    • Increased energy levels
    • Improved mood and emotional stability
    • Better sleep and reduced insomnia
    • Enhanced libido and sexual wellness
    • Improved skin texture and tone
    • Weight management and improved metabolism
    • Stronger bones and better overall health
  • Are bioidentical hormones safe?

    Yes, bioidentical hormones are considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare provider. They are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally, reducing the risk of side effects compared to synthetic hormones. At Rejuv Medical, we ensure each patient receives personalized treatment to minimize risks and maximize the benefits of BHRT.


  • How is BHRT different from synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

    Unlike synthetic HRT, which uses hormones that are chemically altered, bioidentical hormones are made from plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. This makes BHRT a more natural and personalized option, offering fewer side effects for most patients.


  • What types of bioidentical hormones are used in BHRT?

    The most common bioidentical hormones used in BHRT include:

    • Estrogen
    • Progesterone
    • Testosterone
    • DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
    • Thyroid hormones

    These hormones are customized based on your specific needs, ensuring a personalized treatment plan.

  • How long does it take to see results from BHRT?

    The timeline for results varies for each patient. Many individuals begin to notice improvements in their energy levels, mood, and sleep quality within 3 to 6 weeks of starting BHRT. For long-term benefits, such as improved skin elasticity or weight loss, it may take several months of treatment.

  • What is the process for starting BHRT?

    The first step in your BHRT journey is scheduling a consultation at Rejuv Medical. During this appointment, we'll discuss your symptoms and conduct a comprehensive hormone panel to assess your hormone levels. Based on the results, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.


  • What side effects can occur with BHRT?

    Most patients tolerate BHRT well, with minimal side effects. Some individuals may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort at the injection site, particularly when starting hormone therapy. Any side effects usually resolve on their own within a few days. If you experience more serious symptoms, please contact us immediately for guidance.


  • How long do the effects of BHRT last?

    The effects of BHRT can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of hormone treatment and individual response. Regular check-ups and follow-up testing will help ensure your hormone levels remain balanced and that your treatment is optimized for long-term results.


  • Is BHRT covered by insurance?

    BHRT is typically not covered by insurance, as it is considered an elective treatment. However, we offer affordable pricing and financing options to make BHRT accessible to everyone. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the cost of treatment and available payment options.


  • Can I combine BHRT with other treatments?

    Yes! Many of our patients combine BHRT with other rejuvenating treatments like microneedling, Botox, or dermal fillers for comprehensive wellness and aesthetic care. We’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.
