As we age, changes in hormone levels can affect nearly every aspect of how we feel. Fatigue, weight gain, decreased muscle mass, brain fog, mood changes, low libido, and changes in skin quality often develop gradually, making it difficult to recognize that hormones may be playing a role.
At Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics, we’re introducing a comprehensive Hormone Optimization Program designed to support both your health and appearance through evidence-based treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, our physician-led approach evaluates your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals to create a personalized roadmap for lasting wellness.
Dr. Leslie Smith offers specialized treatment programs for both women and men, helping patients throughout Minneapolis, Wayzata, and surrounding communities restore balance and optimize long-term health.

WHAT IS HORMONE OPTIMIZATION?
Hormone optimization is a comprehensive medical approach designed to identify and address hormonal imbalances that can affect energy, metabolism, body composition, cognitive function, and overall well-being.
Rather than simply replacing hormones, our programs focus on restoring balance through personalized treatment plans that may include hormone therapy, nutritional support, metabolic optimization, gut health protocols, amino acid therapy, and skin health recommendations.
Our goal is to help patients not only feel better but also support healthy aging from the inside out.
Treatment plans may address:
- Perimenopause
- Postmenopause
- Low testosterone in men
- Hormonal changes following hysterectomy
- Weight management support
- Gut and liver health
- Muscle preservation during weight loss
- Skin health and collagen support
Every recommendation is individualized based on your consultation, medical history, symptoms, and laboratory evaluation.

Dr. Smith will review your symptoms, medical history, laboratory testing, and goals to determine whether the Bronze, Silver, or Platinum program, and the appropriate program length, is best suited to your needs.

Every patient’s timeline is different and depends on your symptoms, treatment plan, and overall health. Some individuals begin noticing improvements in energy, sleep, or mental clarity within a few weeks, while changes in body composition, muscle preservation, and hormone balance often develop over several months. Your progress will be monitored through follow-up visits so your treatment plan can be adjusted as needed.
