When it comes to hormone therapy, there are several methods to choose from, including pellets, injections, oral medications, and patches. At Kiaora, the interlabial mucosal application of our multi-hormonal therapy sets a new standard in treatment. It’s a uniquely effective method that ensures consistent results.
The transdermal method, applied directly to the interlabial mucosa, offers superior absorption compared to patches or other skin applications. This area provides an ideal pathway for hormones to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream (providing almost 100% absorption) without the need for liver metabolism. The result? Optimized hormone delivery that ensures steady support for your body’s needs, avoiding the unpredictable fluctuations of alternative options.
Interlabial hormone therapy is a modern, efficient, and patient-friendly solution that prioritizes your comfort and long-term health.
Pellets: Initial Surge, Inconsistent Longevity Hormone pellets, inserted under the skin, can provide a rapid release of hormones immediately after insertion. However, this method often leads to an initial surge that may feel overwhelming, followed by a gradual decline in effectiveness toward the end of the insertion period. This inconsistency can result in fluctuating hormone levels that may affect how you feel throughout the treatment cycle.
Oral Hormones: Considerations for Liver and Overall Health Oral estradiol undergoes digestion and liver metabolism before reaching the bloodstream, a process called “first-pass metabolism.” This reduces delivery efficiency and increases the liver’s workload, potentially contributing to oxidative stress and affecting cholesterol metabolism. Additionally, it may raise the risk of blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). For those seeking a more efficient and gentler option, non-oral estrogen therapies might be preferable.
Patches: Limited Absorption Hormone patches offer convenience, but their absorption rates can vary significantly. The skin, being a less permeable barrier, may limit the amount of hormone that actually enters the bloodstream. Additionally, factors like perspiration and skin irritation can further hinder the effectiveness of patches.
