The Skin Care Center now offering Hormone Replacement Therapy

Kaleigh Gordon, APRN, FNP-C, is now offering hormone replacement therapy for both men and women at The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery. Kaleigh is a personalized hormone and wellness nurse practitioner who will begin seeing patients August 17, 2026. 

The Skin Care Center partnered with Evexias Healthcare to offer Evexipel pellet insertion, patches, creams, and oral HRT therapy, as well as a full compliment of nutraceuticals to balance hormones, restore energy, and regain confidence. 

A hormonal imbalance can subtly disrupt every facet of your well-being, affecting your energy levels, mood, metabolism, sleep quality, mental clarity, and libido. For millions of individuals, these pervasive symptoms are often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or ineffectively managed with temporary solutions. 

The advantage of receiving hormone replacement therapy services at The Skin Care Center is the efficiency of receiving your labs and treatment. Patients are offered the option of having lab work completed prior to the first appointment, so treatment can begin immediately after seeing the provider. We've created a streamlined process to reduce the need for back-and-forth appointments just to get treatment. 

Many people prefer Evexipel because of its patented pellet formulation, which integrates a micro-dose of the anti-inflammatory steroid triamcinolone. This unique feature is specifically designed to reduce post-insertion inflammation, prevent the buildup of scar tissue, and decrease the rate of pellet extrusion. 

Key factors contributing to the preference for EvexiPEL include:

Proprietary Formulation: EvexiPEL uses a methylcellulose binding base rather than stearic acid, which allows for a smoother, highly consistent hormone release profile over the pellet's 3-to-6-month lifespan.

Minimized Scarring: The addition of triamcinolone and the use of blunt-tipped trocars during insertion trauma-proofs the procedure, minimizing tissue damage and preserving the insertion site for future treatments.

Integrated Pharmacy: EvexiPEL pellets are manufactured at FarmaKeio, a dedicated, highly regulated 503B outsourcing facility, which gives the company tight, centralized control over the manufacturing and purity standards of its product.

Holistic Philosophy: EvexiPEL focuses heavily on a whole-body wellness approach—utilizing proprietary testing algorithms that pair extensive symptomatology with precise lab work—to offer highly customized hormone dosing.

The Skin Care Center also uses VO2 max testing, which measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body uses during intense exercise. It is the gold standard for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness, guiding tailored training programs, and predicting both cardiovascular health and long-term life expectancy.

In addition to providing athletes optimized planning, it offers everyone insights on disease prevention. A higher VO2 max is strongly correlated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

Multiple medical studies identify VO2 max as one of the strongest independent predictors of future life expectancy and overall longevity. 

The V stands for volume and the O2 stands for oxygen. So, in short, in quantifies how much oxygen your body is using while exercising. 

When you breathe, your lungs absorb oxygen and transport it your red blood cells, which carry the oxygen to all of your body's organs and muscles. Your muscle cells need oxygen to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP provides the main energy your muscles need to work. The more oxygen you can breathe in, the more ATP your muscles produce, creating the energy to fuel your muscles. 

When your VO2 max score is high, that means your heart and lungs are more effectively supplying blood to your muscles. When your VO2 max score is low, it means you need to mix up your workout routine, get more aerobic exercise (consider a HIIT routine). 

Another way to improve your VO2 max score is by losing weight. While this often seems like a daunting task, our weight loss services with GLP-1 management are an effective way to improve your VO2 max score and add years to your life.
