Restore Balance. Feel Like Yourself Again.
If you're experiencing fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, low libido, mood changes, poor sleep, hot flashes, night sweats or simply don't feel like yourself, changing hormone levels may be playing a role.
At The Skin Care Center in Pensacola, FL, we offer personalized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and hormone optimization for women and men. Our wellness providers use comprehensive laboratory testing, symptom evaluation, medical history and individualized treatment plans to determine whether hormone therapy may be appropriate for you.
Treatment options may include oral hormone therapy, creams, patches and EvexiPEL® bioidentical hormone pellet therapy, depending on your individual needs, medical history and treatment goals.
Whether you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone or other symptoms associated with hormonal changes, our approach begins with understanding you—your symptoms, your health, your lab results and your goals.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone replacement therapy, commonly called HRT, is a medical treatment that uses hormones to address certain symptoms associated with hormonal changes or deficiencies.
Because hormone needs vary from person to person, treatment at The Skin Care Center begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our providers review your symptoms, medical history, laboratory results, lifestyle and health goals before determining whether hormone therapy is appropriate and which treatment approach may best meet your needs.
Our goal isn't simply to look at a number on a lab report. We take a personalized approach that considers how you feel alongside your overall health and clinical evaluation.
Common Symptoms That May Lead to a Hormone Evaluation
Hormonal changes can affect women and men differently. Symptoms that may prompt a conversation with a healthcare provider include:
- Fatigue or low energy
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Changes in weight or body composition
- Low libido
- Mood changes or irritability
- Sleep disturbances
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Decreased muscle mass or strength
- Hair thinning
- Changes in sexual function
- Difficulty recovering from exercise
- Changes associated with perimenopause or menopause
These symptoms can have many possible causes and do not necessarily indicate a hormone deficiency. A medical evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Personalized HRT & Hormone Therapy Options
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to hormone replacement therapy.
Based on your symptoms, laboratory results, medical history, lifestyle and treatment goals, your provider may discuss options including:
- EvexiPEL® bioidentical hormone pellet therapy
- Oral hormone therapy
- Hormone creams
- Hormone patches
Your provider will discuss the potential benefits, risks and differences among appropriate treatment options so you can make an informed decision about your care.
EvexiPEL® Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy in Pensacola
The Skin Care Center offers EvexiPEL® hormone pellet therapy as one of several available hormone therapy options.
EvexiPEL uses bioidentical hormone pellets that are placed beneath the skin during an in-office procedure. The pellets are designed to release hormone over time, eliminating the need for daily application or dosing associated with some other forms of hormone therapy.
Pellet therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, laboratory results and treatment preferences to determine whether pellet therapy or another form of hormone therapy may be appropriate for you.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause can begin years before menopause and may bring changes that are easy to overlook or attribute to stress, aging or a busy lifestyle.
Women may experience:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Changes in sleep
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Mood changes
- Changes in libido
- Vaginal or urinary symptoms
- Changes in body composition
- Fatigue or decreased energy
- Thinning Hair or hair loss. For more on hair restoration: https://theskincarecenter.com/med-spa-blog/perimenopause-and-hair-loss-why-it-happens-and-how-the-skin-care-center-helps
For appropriate candidates, hormone therapy may be one option for managing certain symptoms associated with the menopause transition.
At The Skin Care Center, we take an individualized approach to midlife wellness. Your provider considers your symptoms, health history, laboratory findings, risk factors and goals when discussing whether hormone therapy should be part of your treatment plan.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women
Hormonal changes can occur throughout adulthood and become particularly noticeable during perimenopause and menopause.
Rather than assuming every symptom is hormonal, our providers take a comprehensive approach to determine what may be contributing to how you feel.
When hormone therapy is appropriate, your treatment plan is individualized according to your medical history, symptoms, laboratory findings and treatment goals.
Testosterone & Hormone Therapy for Men
Testosterone levels can change with age and for other medical reasons. Symptoms associated with low testosterone may include changes in energy, libido, sexual function, muscle mass, body composition, concentration and mood.
Because these symptoms can also have other causes, evaluation begins with your medical history, symptoms and appropriate laboratory testing.
If treatment is appropriate, your provider will develop an individualized plan and monitor your response over time.
Our Labs-First Approach to Hormone Therapy
We begin with laboratory testing to give your provider a clearer picture of your hormone levels and overall health before your consultation.
Patients should call our office to schedule their hormone therapy consultation. Our team will then coordinate the appropriate laboratory order.
Labs should generally be completed approximately two weeks before your scheduled appointment so your provider can review the results before your consultation.
Laboratory testing may be run through insurance or completed as self-pay.
This allows your appointment to focus on the bigger picture: your symptoms, health history, laboratory results, concerns and treatment goals.
Comprehensive Wellness Beyond Hormones
Hormones are only one part of overall wellness.
Depending on your individual needs, your provider may also evaluate factors related to:
- Thyroid health
- Metabolic health
- Nutrition
- Body composition
- Lifestyle
- Other appropriate wellness therapies
This comprehensive approach helps us look beyond a single symptom or laboratory value and develop a personalized plan based on your overall health.
What to Expect
1. Comprehensive Lab Testing
Complete your recommended laboratory testing before your consultation so your provider can review the results in advance.
2. Hormone & Wellness Consultation
Meet with your wellness provider to discuss your symptoms, health history, medications, lifestyle and goals.
3. Personalized Treatment Plan
If hormone therapy is appropriate, your provider will discuss available options and recommend a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Hormone therapy requires ongoing medical supervision. Follow-up appointments and laboratory testing allow your provider to monitor your response and adjust your treatment when appropriate.

I had my first consultation today and my consultant was Daisy, she was absolutely fabulous! She was very thorough and informative and she made me feel really comfortable. She was transparent and honest and I appreciated that so much! I am actually getting ready to book my first procedure with her and I’m feeling very excited… Thank you Daisy. I look forward to my next visit.
Great experience getting the hydro facial with Daisy today, she was happy to walk me through the process, answering all my questions and explaining what each product is for and how the sensation should feel. Would 100% recommend the hydrofacial.
