What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a physician-prescribed natural treatment that can help women with hormone imbalances as they age. In essence, BHRT can effectively replace hormones that are no longer produced by the body after menopause, such as estrogen and progesterone.
BHRT is used to treat many symptoms experienced by women during menopause, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, insomnia, low sex drive, weight gain, and more.
In addition to these symptoms, many women who are going through menopause also experience skin changes, including:
- Acne
- Dryness
- Increased wrinkles (both in number and severity)
- Longer healing times
Thankfully, BHRT can provide a range of benefits for your skin.
How BHRT Helps Your Skin
BHRT has the ability to boost your body’s collagen production. Collagen is a key protein for healthy skin, as it provides structure and support to the skin, aids in wound healing, and even contributes to healing sun damage.
After starting BHRT, you may find that your skin appears to be more supple than before, as your body’s increased collagen production can give your skin’s hydration a boost while also decreasing skin atrophy.
Many people find that BHRT helps them achieve a more even, younger-looking skin texture. Even if you begin BHRT solely to benefit your skin, you’ll likely find that your body benefits from the treatment in other ways as well.
