What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

With age, stress, medical conditions or surgery, the body can produce lower levels of key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid hormones.
Because hormones regulate metabolism, mood, sleep, cognition, immunity and sexual function, imbalances often lead to symptoms that affect quality of life and long‑term health.
Hormone Replacement Therapy aims to restore hormones towards an optimal physiological range to relieve symptoms and support overall health, not just to “mask” hot flushes or low libido.
In an anti‑ageing context, well‑managed HRT can form part of a broader strategy to protect bone density, cardiovascular health, cognitive performance and body composition over time.
In women, menopause and perimenopause bring marked changes in estrogen and progesterone; in men, andropause involves gradual testosterone decline, while thyroid and adrenal hormones can be affected at any age.
An integrated HRT plan looks at this full hormonal network rather than focusing on a single number in isolation.

Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy

Cosmedent Dubai offers several forms of HRT, chosen after lab testing and medical assessment, with a preference for bioidentical hormones that closely match the body’s own molecular structure.
This bioidentical approach may support better tolerance and more natural receptor activity when used correctly and monitored.
Main hormones used include:
Estrogen (e.g. estradiol/estriol):
Important for bones, cardiovascular health, vaginal and bladder tissues, skin elasticity and mental clarity; optimising levels can ease hot flushes, night sweats and mood changes.
Testosterone:
Essential for lean muscle, metabolic rate, motivation, libido and cognitive sharpness in both men and women; low levels are linked to fatigue, low drive and loss of strength.
Progesterone:
Balances the effects of estrogen, supports deeper sleep, calms anxiety and is protective for the uterine lining.
Pregnenolone:
A precursor hormone that can influence memory, resilience and stress response as part of a broader endocrine picture.
DHEA:
An adrenal hormone that contributes to energy, immune health, skin quality and hormonal balance when used appropriately.
Thyroid hormones:
Control metabolism, body temperature and energy; correcting hypo‑ or sub‑optimal thyroid function can improve fatigue, weight control, hair and concentration.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT can offer both symptom relief and long‑term protective effects when properly prescribed and monitored.
Long‑term potential benefits:
- Bone health: Helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures by supporting bone density.
- Brain health: May support memory, focus and cognitive performance when imbalances are corrected.
- Cardiometabolic support: Can help maintain healthier lipids, vascular function and body composition as part of a broader lifestyle plan.
Short‑term and medium‑term benefits may include:
- More stable energy and motivation in daily life.
- Improved libido and sexual comfort or satisfaction.
- Smoother mood with fewer swings, anxiety or irritability.
- Better sleep quality with fewer night sweats or awakenings.
- Reduction of hot flushes, menstrual or menopausal discomfort.
- Support for weight management, muscle tone and exercise recovery.

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works

The journey usually starts with a detailed consultation to review symptoms, health history, medications, lifestyle and goals.
Comprehensive hormone panels (blood and sometimes saliva or urine) are ordered to understand baseline levels and patterns, including sex hormones, thyroid and adrenal markers.

Based on the results, your clinician recommends the best delivery method:

Topical creams and gels: Daily application for flexible dosing and steady absorption through the skin.
Transdermal patches: Skin patches changed at set intervals, providing consistent hormone release without daily pills.
Injections: Intramuscular or subcutaneous injections given weekly or monthly to maintain more stable levels in selected patients.
Subcutaneous pellets: Tiny pellets inserted under the skin that release hormones slowly over several months for maximum convenience.

Progress is followed closely, typically every 3–6 months, with repeat labs and symptom review so doses can be fine‑tuned for safety and best results.

FAQs

When prescribed by an experienced doctor, with appropriate patient selection and monitoring, HRT can be used long term using the lowest effective dose to achieve balance.

A structured consultation plus targeted hormone testing will determine whether symptoms are hormone‑driven and if replacement is appropriate.

HRT interacts with reproductive hormones, so if you are planning pregnancy or fertility treatment, this must be discussed and factored into your plan.

Most patients are reviewed every 3–6 months, with adjustments based on symptoms, blood results and overall health markers.

Many start around their 40s or 50s, but the right timing depends on symptoms, lab values and medical history; some may benefit earlier under specialist guidance.

HRT at Cosmedent Dubai is designed not only to replace what is low but to help restore resilience, vitality and long‑term hormonal balance in a medically supervised way.
