What Are Hormone Patches?

Hormone patches are a simple and non-invasive form of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), designed to deliver a steady dose of bioidentical hormones through the skin. These transdermal patches are applied to the skin and gradually release hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone, or progesterone, directly into the bloodstream over a set period, typically 24 hours to a few days. By bypassing the digestive system, patches provide a consistent hormone delivery, minimizing fluctuations and helping to maintain stable hormone levels. At Saving Face Austin, we offer hormone patches as a convenient and flexible option for individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalances. Whether you’re navigating menopause, andropause, or other hormone-related conditions, hormone patches offer a practical solution to restore balance and support your overall health.

How Do Hormone Patches Work?

Hormone patches are designed to adhere to your skin and slowly release hormones into your bloodstream. They are typically applied to a clean, dry area of skin—such as the lower abdomen, buttocks, or thigh—where they stay for a designated time before needing replacement. Depending on the type of patch and the specific hormone being delivered, patches may need to be replaced daily or every few days.

Because hormone patches deliver bioidentical hormones transdermally, they bypass the liver and gastrointestinal tract, which allows for more direct and steady absorption. This method reduces the risk of hormone fluctuations that can occur with oral medications or injections, leading to more consistent results and fewer side effects.

Benefits of Hormone Patches

Hormone patches are an appealing option for many individuals seeking relief from hormone imbalances due to their ease of use and consistent delivery of hormones. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Convenient and Easy to Use: Hormone patches are a simple, non-invasive solution for hormone replacement, requiring only regular application to clean skin.
  • Steady Hormone Delivery: Patches provide a consistent release of hormones, helping to maintain stable levels throughout the day, reducing the peaks and valleys that can occur with other forms of hormone therapy.
  • Personalized Dosage: Your healthcare provider can prescribe patches with the specific hormone and dosage that’s right for you, tailored to your unique needs and symptoms.
  • Bypass of Digestive System: Patches deliver hormones transdermally, avoiding the liver and digestive system, which helps reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
  • Minimal Disruption to Daily Life: Once applied, hormone patches are discreet and stay in place, allowing you to go about your day without interruptions.

Such an amazing experience!

Such an amazing experience! I stumbled upon and decided on visiting Saving Face after reading their awesome reviews and checking out all of their social media outlets and I couldn't be happier!! I was a first timer receiving Botox and cheek filler for my 40th birthday which is quickly approaching. Lisa Vasquez made me super comfortable and took the time to explain what she was doing during the entire time. My results were exactly as I expected (amazing) and y'all- I feel and look like the 20 year me!! Love love love Lisa and will definitely be visiting her again in the future.

Look no further!

Ladies and Gents look no further! These gals know what they are doing. I was introduced to Brooke and Victoria through a very good friend of mine. I feel blessed to be a client here. They make you feel so at home, starting with a clean space and the smell of essential oils when you walk in the door. Loads of smiles and attention to boot! I have never had anyone do botox on me without some sort of weird spike or otherwise happening. Brooke nailed it on the first round. So if you are wondering if this should be your new injectable spa, IT SHOULD.

The place to trust.

Look no further!!!! Saving Face is the premier place to have your facial injectables done!!! Victoria is wonderful, her skill, experience, artist's touch pure fabulous in every way. I can't sing her praises enough! She knew exactly how to address my under eye hollows, giving the youth back to my eyes that I thought was long gone! It is very difficult to find a Master Injector, especially one who will work in that eye area. Victoria is absolutely the best! Her gentle, kind touch can deliver wonders to One's face!!! This is the place to trust and put your face in their hands.

Absolutely incredible

I don't even know where to begin! I appreciate all the precautions for covid taken before, during and after my appointment. The office is so nice and clean, I immediately felt at ease. Hannah did a wonderful job pre treatment and is magical dealing with my fear of needles. Victoria was absolutely incredible. Listened to all my concerns, answered every question and gave me options and worked within my budget.

The Process of Using Hormone Patches

Getting started with hormone patches is a simple and straightforward process. During your initial consultation, we’ll work closely with you to understand your symptoms, hormone levels, and lifestyle. Based on your needs, we’ll prescribe the appropriate type and dosage of hormone patch, which can include estrogen, testosterone, or progesterone, depending on your specific imbalance.

Here’s how to use hormone patches effectively:

  1. Application: Apply the patch to clean, dry skin—typically on the lower abdomen, buttocks, or thigh. It’s important to rotate the application site each time to avoid skin irritation.
  2. Replacement: Depending on the type of patch prescribed, you may need to replace it every 24 hours or every few days. Your provider will give you specific instructions on how often to change the patch.
  3. Consistency: For optimal results, it’s important to apply the patch at the same time each day and avoid placing it on irritated, broken, or hairy skin.

Many individuals begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and overall well-being within the first few weeks of starting treatment. Because hormone patches deliver a consistent dosage, symptoms related to hormone imbalances—such as hot flashes, fatigue, and low libido—can be reduced without the spikes and dips associated with other hormone therapies.
