Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Topeka, KS
Restore Balance. Renew Vitality. Live Fully.
At The Refinery Medical Aesthetics, we understand how profoundly hormone imbalances can affect the way you feel, look, and live.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) using pellet therapy offers a sophisticated and sustainable solution for men and women looking to regain their energy, clarity, and sense of well-being.
BHRT is about more than treating symptoms. It is about restoring harmony in your body’s internal systems, so you can feel like yourself again.
Understanding Bioidentical Hormones
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. They are custom compounded from plant based sources and are carefully matched to your body’s unique needs.
These hormones replicate the molecular structure of your own estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, allowing your body to recognize and process them naturally. This compatibility reduces the risk of side effects and ensures more consistent results over time.
Why Hormones Matter
Hormones regulate nearly every function in your body, from metabolism, mood, and memory to skin elasticity, libido, sleep, and energy. As you age, natural hormone levels begin to decline.
This shift can result in a variety of disruptive symptoms, including:
- Fatigue or low energy
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
- Brain fog or memory loss
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Low libido or sexual dysfunction
- Thinning hair or dry skin
BHRT helps replenish and rebalance these hormones, offering a targeted approach to total wellness.
Why We Use Pellet Therapy
Precision Meets Convenience: Pellet therapy is one of the most effective and low maintenance ways to deliver bioidentical hormones. Tiny custom compounded pellets are inserted just beneath the skin during a quick in office procedure. These pellets then release consistent, steady doses of hormones into your bloodstream over several months.

Deeper Benefits of BHRT
Strength from Within
Hormone replacement therapy supports muscle retention and bone density. As we age, the body naturally loses lean muscle and bone strength. Rebalancing hormones helps preserve these vital tissues, improving physical resilience and lowering the risk of fractures.
Clearer Thinking and Sharper Memory
Hormones like estrogen and testosterone influence the health of your brain. Balanced hormone levels support cognitive function, memory retention, and mental sharpness. Many clients report reduced brain fog and a renewed ability to focus.
Emotional Balance
BHRT can improve your emotional well-being by stabilizing mood swings, reducing irritability, and supporting a more peaceful and grounded state of mind. For many clients, the mental clarity and emotional ease that follow treatment are life changing.
Skin That Glows
Hormones affect your skin’s texture, thickness, and elasticity. When they are balanced, you may notice firmer skin, fewer fine lines, and a healthier, more radiant complexion. Combined with aesthetic treatments, BHRT enhances your outer glow by restoring health from the inside.
Support for Sexual Wellness
Testosterone and estrogen play key roles in sexual desire and performance. BHRT can reignite your natural libido, improve sensitivity, and reduce discomfort during intimacy. This helps many clients reclaim confidence and reconnect with their partner.

Your Journey to Balance: What to Expect
Consultation and Lab Work
Every BHRT treatment plan begins with an in depth consultation. We listen to your symptoms, concerns, and goals, then order comprehensive lab panels to evaluate your hormone levels and overall health markers. These results help us determine the right dosing and approach for you.
The Pellet Insertion Procedure
The pellet procedure is simple and efficient. Once your dosing is determined, a small pellet is placed just beneath the skin, typically in the upper hip, using local numbing and a quick, sterile technique. The procedure takes less than fifteen minutes.
You may experience mild soreness for a day or two, but there is little to no downtime. After placement, the pellet releases hormones slowly and steadily over the next three to six months.
Aftercare and Follow Up
You will begin to feel the effects of pellet therapy within one to two weeks. Improved energy, focus, and emotional balance are often the first signs. Full benefits typically unfold over four to six weeks.
We will monitor your progress, adjust dosing if needed, and repeat lab work periodically to ensure optimal balance is maintained. Most clients return every three to six months for new pellets, depending on individual metabolism and dosage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pellet therapy safe?
Yes. Pellet therapy has been safely used for decades and is supported by a wide range of clinical studies. Because the hormones are bioidentical, your body processes them naturally.
How often do I need pellets?
Most clients receive pellets every three to six months, depending on their body’s needs and hormone metabolism.
Does the procedure hurt?
The procedure is quick and well tolerated. We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during insertion. Most clients return to daily activities right away.
Are there side effects?
Some people may experience mild temporary changes as hormone levels rebalance, such as breast tenderness or mood shifts. These symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts.
Will I gain weight?
Many clients experience improved metabolism and easier weight management once hormones are balanced. BHRT can actually support healthy fat distribution and lean muscle maintenance.
Is this the same as traditional HRT?
No. Traditional HRT often uses synthetic hormones. BHRT uses plant based hormones that are structurally identical to your body’s own, offering a more natural and individualized approach.
Can I combine BHRT with other wellness treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients find that combining BHRT with treatments like medical weight loss, IV therapy, and aesthetic services enhances both their inner vitality and outer radiance.
