Hormone Replacement Therapy

Expert HRT Treatment on the Upper East Side

Menopause is a significant life transition that affects more than reproductive health. At PFRANKMD, Dr. Molly McBride offers comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed to restore balance, vitality, and skin health for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

As a board-certified OB/GYN and women’s health specialist with advanced training in longevity medicine, Dr. McBride integrates personalized HRT protocols into a broader wellness strategy that supports every aspect of healthy aging.

A Precision-Based Approach to Hormonal Wellness

Hormone changes during menopause can lead to hot flashes, brain fog, poor sleep, decreased libido, weight gain, and significant changes in skin texture and appearance. HRT can provide effective relief, but treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. At PFRANKMD, we tailor each HRT plan based on comprehensive lab testing, patient history, and current symptoms. Dr. McBride evaluates estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and additional biomarkers critical to your overall function and vitality.

Optimizing Skin Health Through Hormonal Balance

Declining estrogen levels directly impact skin integrity. With lower collagen production, decreased hydration, and reduced elasticity, many women experience accelerated aging during menopause. Through thoughtful HRT planning, Dr. McBride helps support skin health from within—and, when indicated, pairs treatment with topical medications, medical-grade skincare, or advanced in-office procedures like laser resurfacing or radiofrequency-based therapies available at PFRANKMD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is HRT and how does it work?

Hormone replacement therapy involves supplementing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone to restore balance in individuals experiencing deficiency, typically due to menopause. It can alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and skin aging.

Is HRT safe?

When managed properly under medical supervision, HRT can be very safe and effective. Dr. McBride utilizes a personalized approach, monitoring your levels and symptoms closely to minimize risks and enhance benefits.

Does HRT improve skin health?

Yes. Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining skin thickness, hydration, and elasticity. By restoring hormonal balance, HRT can improve dryness, sagging, and loss of volume often associated with menopause.

What types of hormones are used?

Dr. McBride often uses bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to those your body produces. Options may include pills, patches, creams, or pellets depending on your needs and preferences.

How soon will I notice changes?

Many patients notice improvements in sleep, mood, energy, and skin quality within a few weeks, though optimal results typically occur after several months of consistent therapy.

Can I combine HRT with aesthetic treatments?

Absolutely. In fact, many patients benefit most from an integrated approach that addresses hormonal balance and skin quality together. PFRANKMD offers a full suite of non-invasive skin rejuvenation therapies to complement internal wellness treatments.

Is HRT only for menopause?

While HRT is commonly used during and after menopause, it may also be appropriate for individuals with early ovarian insufficiency, surgical menopause, or hormonal imbalances affecting quality of life.
