Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are chemically similar to those naturally produced by your body. By restoring hormone levels to a more balanced state, we can address the underlying cause of symptoms rather than just masking them.
Our team evaluates your symptoms and lab results before recommending care.
We prescribe BHRT to Frisco patients experiencing:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Low libido
Fatigue
Mood changes
Trouble sleeping
Hormone fluctuations
Hormone levels can change with menopause, perimenopause, andropause, aging, certain medical conditions, or reduced hormone production. These changes can affect sleep, temperature regulation, sexual health, mood, and daily energy.
McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery offers BHRT to Frisco for patients experiencing hormone-related symptoms. Because these concerns can have several causes, your provider first determines whether hormone therapy fits your health needs.
Support Through Hormonal Change
Hormone levels can change with menopause, perimenopause, andropause, aging, certain medical conditions, or reduced hormone production. These changes can affect sleep, temperature regulation, sexual health, mood, and daily energy.
McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery offers BHRT to Frisco for patients experiencing hormone-related symptoms. Because these concerns can have several causes, your provider first determines whether hormone therapy fits your health needs.
Bioidentical hormones are typically derived from plant sources, such as soy or yams, and processed in a laboratory so they have the same chemical structure as the hormones naturally produced by your body. Because they closely match the body’s hormones, most patients find that they integrate well into their system.
At McGuiness, we deliver bioidentical hormones through small pellets placed beneath the skin. Each pellet is customized to your individual hormone levels, symptoms, and treatment goals, allowing for a personalized dose that is released gradually over time. As your hormone levels and symptoms change, we can adjust your dosage at future appointments to help maintain optimal results.
Hormone therapy may be appropriate for certain patients with disruptive symptoms related to menopause or a diagnosed hormone deficiency. However, it is not right for everyone.
Before recommending care, your provider reviews your personal and family medical history. Certain cancers, unexplained bleeding, blood-clotting conditions, liver disease, stroke, heart disease, and other concerns may affect whether hormone therapy is appropriate.
Your provider will discuss the potential benefits and risks so you can make an informed decision.
BHRT requires continued medical supervision. Follow-up visits allow your provider to review symptom changes, check laboratory results, and watch for side effects.
You may notice improvement gradually rather than immediately. Response times differ because hormone levels, delivery methods, and symptoms vary between patients. Your provider can adjust future dosing based on your results instead of relying on symptoms alone.

Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, booking an appointment at McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery is fast.
Hormone pellets are rice-sized implants placed beneath the skin. They release a measured hormone dose gradually until the pellet dissolves.
Your provider inserts the pellet through a short incision, often near the upper buttock or hip. You may experience mild soreness, bruising, or swelling near the insertion site. Follow all wound-care and activity instructions to reduce irritation.
The length of care depends on your symptoms, health risks, hormone levels, and response to treatment. Some patients use hormone therapy for a limited period, while others receive ongoing hormone therapy under medical supervision.
You can discuss stopping therapy at any time. Symptoms may return as hormone levels change, so your provider can help with this transition.
Your provider assesses both symptom changes and follow-up lab results.
Signs that the hormone therapy is working include improved sleep, fewer hot flashes, or reduced vaginal discomfort, among other resolved symptoms.
Patients receiving BHRT to Frisco are asked to return for monitoring so our team can review effectiveness, discuss side effects, and decide whether the next dose requires adjustment.
