Hormone Replacement TherapyMinneapolis, MN

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.

Beginning at the end of August, Dr. Leslie Smith will offer 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.

HORMONE OPTIMIZATION FAQS

Do You Offer Support for Patients Taking GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications?

Digestive health and liver function play important roles in hormone metabolism and overall wellness. Supporting these systems can help create a stronger foundation before or during hormone optimization.

Your initial physician consultation is $250 and includes approximately one hour with Dr. Leslie Smith to review your health history, symptoms, goals, and treatment options.

Most patients will require laboratory testing to help evaluate hormone levels and other factors affecting overall health. Dr. Smith will determine which tests are appropriate during your consultation.

Your physician consultation is designed to determine exactly that. After reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and goals, Dr. Smith will recommend the treatment pathway that best aligns with your individual needs.
