What are bioidentical hormones?

The natural path to hormonal balance at SkinSurgery Clinics

Hormonen zijn de dirigenten van ons lichaam. Ze bepalen hoe we slapen, denken, voelen en eruitzien. Maar wat als die natuurlijke harmonie verstoord raakt? Veel vrouwen ervaren dat tijdens de perimenopauze, of na zwangerschap of stressvolle levensfasen.
Traditioneel werd er vaak gekozen voor synthetische hormoontherapie, maar steeds meer vrouwen zoeken een veiliger, natuurlijker alternatief. Daarom werken we bij SkinSurgery Clinics met bio-identieke hormonen: een lichaamsvriendelijke vorm van hormoontherapie die perfect aansluit op je eigen hormonale systeem.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. They are usually derived from plant sources, such as soy or Mexican wild yam, and then converted into substances that have exactly the same structure as human estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. Because the body recognizes them as its own, they work more naturally and cause fewer side effects than synthetic alternatives. Think of:

• Fewer mood swings
• Better sleep
• Fewer hot flashes
• More stable weight
• Improved concentration and libido

What is the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones?

Traditional hormone therapy often uses synthetic hormones derived from animal or chemical sources. These substances resemble human hormones but are not identical, which means the body processes them differently and sometimes tolerates them less well. Bioidentical hormones, on the other hand, fit into your body’s receptors like perfectly matched puzzle pieces.

The result:

• A more natural effect,
• Less risk of side effects,
• And a customized dosage tailored to your blood values and symptoms.

At SkinSurgery, we adjust the dose individually rather than following a standard protocol. Every woman is different, and that requires a personalized approach.

Is bioidentical hormone therapy safe?

Yes—when properly supervised. Under medical guidance, bioidentical hormone therapy is safe, effective, and scientifically supported. At SkinSurgery Clinics, our doctors always perform comprehensive blood testing beforehand to assess your hormone levels and adjust the treatment as your body changes.

We work exclusively with pharmaceutical-grade products from certified suppliers, so you know exactly what you are using—controlled, traceable, and reliable.

What are the benefits of bioidentical hormones?

The benefits go beyond reducing menopausal symptoms. Bioidentical hormones support your overall wellbeing—from skin to mood. Many women experience renewed energy, clarity, and emotional balance within just a few weeks, as if they are finding themselves again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bioidentical Hormones

What exactly are bioidentical hormones?

These are hormones that are structurally identical to your natural hormones. They help restore hormonal balance without the artificial side effects often associated with synthetic alternatives.

How do I know if bioidentical hormone therapy is right for me?

During a consultation, we perform blood tests to map out your hormone levels. Based on these results, our doctors determine whether bioidentical therapy is suitable for you and which dosage is appropriate.

Does it also help with sleep problems, mood swings, and brain fog?

Yes. Since these symptoms often stem from declining estrogen and progesterone levels, restoring that balance helps you regain calm, focus, and energy.

Is it suitable for every stage of life?

Not just around menopause. Women in their thirties can also benefit from hormonal support—for example, after pregnancy or during burnout-related symptoms caused by hormonal fluctuations.
