Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) supplements the body with hormones deficient due to aging or other factors. By restoring balanced levels of hormones like estrogen or testosterone, HRT can alleviate symptoms like low libido, fatigue, mood swings, and decreased muscle mass. At Dynamic Health and Wellness, we personalize hormone therapy treatments to meet your needs, whether through injections, oral medication, or hormone pellets.

What It Treats
How Hormone Therapy Works
Testing
We conduct blood tests and lab analyses on-site to determine if hormone therapy is appropriate for you.
Injections
We teach you how to inject hormone injections. Or, you can come to us for your injections when you need them.
Pellets
Implanted hormone pellets slowly dissolve over time, releasing a steady stream of hormones into the bloodstream.
Hormone Therapy Step-by-Step
Step 1: Consultation
Before we start HRT, we take time to understand your concerns, health history, and health goals.
Step 2: Diagnostic Testing
We conduct a blood test to assess how much testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid hormones your body produces.

Delivery methods include oral medication, injections, and pellets. You need a prescription for hormone therapy in Leesburg, and some substances are compounded at a compounding pharmacy. We deliver them straight to you or to our facility, depending on what is more convenient for you. Your provider will discuss the options that best suit your personalized needs.
Hormone pellets provide an effective solution for hormone imbalances. These pellets dissolve gradually over time, releasing a consistent stream of hormones directly into the bloodstream. We assess a range of factors, including hormone levels, weight, and symptoms, to determine appropriate testosterone and estrogen doses for each patient.
On the day of the procedure, our provider uses a local anesthetic to make a painless 5 mm incision to insert the hormone pellet subcutaneously, just under the skin.
The time it takes to feel the benefits of hormone replacement therapy can vary from person to person. Some patients notice improvements in their energy levels, mood, and libido within a few weeks. Others may need up to three months to experience significant changes. Consistency is integral to long-lasting results, and we closely monitor your progress to ensure optimal results from your hormone therapy in Leesburg.
The duration of results from hormone replacement therapy depends on the individual and the type of treatment used. Hormone pellets typically last between about 3 months in women and up to 6 months in men. Injections and oral medications may require more frequent administration. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor hormone levels and maintain long-term balance and effectiveness.
At Dynamic Health & Wellness, we conduct thorough diagnostic tests that help us determine if you have a hormonal imbalance. Patients with estrogen or testosterone deficiencies may be a good fit for our testosterone injections or hormone pellets. However, patients with a history of the following health conditions may want to consider alternatives:
- History of blood clots, cancer, or heart attack, heart disease, liver disease, or high blood pressure
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Testosterone is a hormone that occurs naturally in both men and women. It helps regulate libido, bone mass, muscle mass, fat distribution, and strength. Testosterone replacement is a core part of our hormone therapy in Leesburg, helping patients regain energy, build muscle, and improve overall health.
Estrogen is a hormone that regulates body temperature, improves cognitive health, helps build muscle mass, improves mood, and increases libido. Balancing estrogen levels can significantly improve overall well-being, especially in women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Hormone therapy in Leesburg affects each individual differently. Common side effects include:
- Breast tenderness or pain
- Hot flashes
- Mood changes
- Sweating
- Fatigue
Our team at Dynamic Health and Wellness will work closely with you to minimize any side effects and ensure that your treatment is safe and effective.
