HRT for Women
OHIP COVERED TREATMENT
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women
Reclaim Balance. Restore Vitality. Redefine You.
At Lip Doctor, we believe every woman deserves exceptional hormonal care — without barriers. Our Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) consultations and follow-up visits are covered under OHIP when provided by our medical team.
That means expert, physician-led menopause and hormone care that’s accessible, evidence-based, and designed entirely around you.
Why Hormones Matter
Hormones are your body’s internal communication system — subtle chemical messengers that influence everything from mood and memory to metabolism, bone health, and sleep.
When estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone begin to shift, you may notice changes in focus, energy, skin, or emotional resilience. These aren’t “just signs of aging” — they’re signals from your body asking for balance.
At Lip Doctor, we see this as an opportunity to restore your body’s natural rhythm — to help you age vibrantly, confidently, and comfortably.
Are you right for Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Your First Visit: In-Person — Then Hybrid Care Made Easy
Your first appointment must be in-person. This allows our clinician to take a complete medical history, perform a physical examination, and establish your baseline hormone and health profile.
During this visit, we may also recommend additional testing such as a mammogram, Pap test, or updated bloodworkif these have not been completed recently. These tests ensure your hormone therapy plan is safe, comprehensive, and tailored to you.
After your initial assessment, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of virtual and in-person follow-ups — whichever best fits your schedule. Many women appreciate the convenience of online check-ins while still visiting in-clinic for milestone evaluations or medication adjustments.
Our hybrid model ensures continuity, safety, and a truly personalized experience from start to finish.
The Lip Doctor Approach: Science with Soul
Menopause and perimenopause are not medical failures — they’re transitions that deserve intelligent, compassionate support. We don’t just treat symptoms; we restore harmony among your key hormones — estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — so you can feel and function at your best.
Our process combines:
Comprehensive hormone testing and analysis
Individualized bioidentical hormone therapy
Lifestyle and nutritional guidance
Ongoing monitoring and fine-tuning
Our patients often describe this experience as “getting my spark back.”
Understanding the Hormones That Define Your Vitality
Estrogen
Supports mood, memory, bone density, and heart health
Keeps skin supple and hair strong
Eases hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness
Progesterone
Promotes calmness, emotional stability, and restorative sleep
Balances estrogen to protect the uterus and breast tissue
Reduces anxiety and helps regulate mood
Testosterone
Restores energy, motivation, and mental clarity
Enhances libido, sexual responsiveness, and satisfaction
Supports lean muscle tone and strength
Improves skin firmness and collagen
While often overlooked, testosterone replacement can be transformational for women. We use bioidentical, micro-dosed formulations created specifically for the female body — restoring balance without masculinizing effects.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
The benefits of HRT extend far beyond symptom relief. Balanced hormones support every system in your body, improving both how you feel and how you function.
Women who begin HRT often experience:
Relief from hot flashes, night sweats, and temperature fluctuations
Improved sleep quality, focus, and emotional stability
Increased energy, motivation, and mood balance
Renewed libido and sexual comfort
Enhanced bone density and reduced risk of osteoporosis
Healthier skin, hair, and muscle tone
Improved cardiovascular and brain health when started near menopause
Greater overall vitality and confidence
In essence, HRT helps your body feel like itself again — calm, strong, and vibrant from the inside out.
Who Is the Right Candidate for HRT?
HRT isn’t for every woman — but for many, it’s a life-changing therapy when guided by the right medical team.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
Are experiencing moderate to severe menopause or perimenopause symptoms
Are generally healthy and under 60 (or within 10 years of menopause)
Are struggling with low energy, libido, or mood due to hormonal shifts
Have normal mammogram and Pap results, or are up to date on screenings
Are ready to take a proactive role in your health and long-term vitality
You may not be a candidate if you:
Have a history of breast or uterine cancer, stroke, blood clots, or liver disease
Are a heavy smoker or have uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors
Are well past menopause (10+ years) without prior therapy — though there may be exceptions after careful evaluation
At Lip Doctor, we review your full health profile, family history, and goals before creating a plan. Your safety, confidence, and well-being always come first.
Results You Can Feel
Within weeks of hormone balance, many women describe:
Deeper, more restful sleep and calmer mornings
Renewed focus, confidence, and emotional steadiness
Noticeable improvements in libido and intimacy
Enhanced energy, motivation, and drive
Healthier skin, thicker hair, and improved muscle tone
The transformation is often quiet but profound — a sense of alignment returning to both mind and body.
What to Expect from Your HRT Journey
Step 1 – Comprehensive In-Person Assessment
Your first visit includes a detailed review of your medical history, physical examination, and baseline hormone testing.
If necessary, we may request updated screening tests such as a mammogram, Pap test, or additional bloodworkbefore initiating therapy. This ensures your plan is medically sound and fully tailored to you.
Step 2 – Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your results, we’ll create a customized HRT plan using estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone — delivered via creams, patches, gels, or oral forms to best fit your lifestyle.
Step 3 – Follow-Up and Optimization
Once therapy begins, follow-up visits — in-person or virtual — ensure your body responds safely and effectively. Most women notice improvements in sleep, energy, and mood within 4–8 weeks.
Step 4 – Long-Term Balance and Monitoring
Regular check-ins, imaging, and bloodwork help maintain benefits while monitoring long-term safety. Your plan evolves with your body.

Hormones and Aesthetics: The Hidden Link
Balanced hormones are the foundation of radiant skin, a healthy metabolism, and graceful aging. When your body’s biochemistry is optimized, your aesthetic treatments, skincare, and wellness routines perform better — from collagen production to fat metabolism.
At Lip Doctor, we see HRT as the bridge between how you feel inside and how you show up in the world.
