Menopause and hormone therapy in Chelsea

Q: How is hormone replacement therapy different at RegenCen?

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your care is guided by lab results, medical history, and how you feel over time. Whether you're beginning perimenopause or managing menopause long term, our certified providers adjust treatment based on your body, not blanket protocols.

Q: Do you offer testosterone replacement therapy for men?

Yes. In addition to menopause care, we also help men manage symptoms of low testosterone, like fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and loss of focus or drive. Our testosterone therapy programs are closely monitored to ensure results that are both safe and effective.

Q: I live in Dexter. Is it worth the drive to Chelsea?

Many of our patients come from Dexter, Grass Lake, and Jackson to receive personalized hormone care without driving into Ann Arbor. Our clinic is easy to access with complimentary on-site parking and flexible appointment options for ongoing support.

Q: How long does it take to feel better once I start treatment?

Most patients notice positive changes within the first few weeks, especially with sleep, mood, and energy. Full hormone balancing can take several months, and we monitor your progress closely throughout that time, adjusting as needed based on both your symptoms and your labs.

Q: Is hormone therapy safe?

When managed by trained medical providers, bioidentical hormone therapy is safe and effective. We use lab testing and ongoing evaluation to ensure you’re getting the right dose and staying on track with your health goals.

Because how you feel at 45
shouldn’t be dismissed as “normal aging.”

At RegenCen Chelsea, we help women take back control from the symptoms that can come with midlife hormone shifts. Whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or navigating ongoing HRT, we offer doctor-led, personalized treatment designed to help you feel clear, steady, and like yourself again.

Great experience and staff! They are very knowledgeable and skilled!

Kristine Kaiser, RegenCen Patient

Kayla at RegenCen has my hormones dialed in! She told me to change one of my meds to just before bed and now I sleep through the night again. They are caring and informative in everything they offer. Best of all, they look like real people and do their own modeling for their products. ★★★★★

Excellent care. Everything was explained in detail and I did not have the feeling that my caregiver was under pressure to go faster.

What we offer in Chelsea

When hormones shift, your care should too

Menopause isn’t a moment in time—it’s a long transition that can affect your sleep, mood, energy, and weight. At RegenCen Chelsea, we treat menopause as a medical concern, not just a phase to push through. Through doctor-supervised care, lab testing, and evidence-based treatment (including hormone therapy when called for), we help you feel more balanced, clear, and like yourself again.

What is hormone
replacement therapy?

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most effective ways to treat symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. At RegenCen, we use bioidentical hormones — estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — prescribed at levels appropriate to your body and stage of life. We monitor your labs and adjust your treatment as needed, so you get results that feel right and support your long-term health.

How we treat menopause at RegenCen

Everything you should know about hormone therapy

Menopause Treatment

Menopause—and the decade leading up to it—can make you feel like a stranger in your own body. Even before periods stop, many women experience mood swings, hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, low libido, and weight gain due to shifting hormones and testosterone decline.

At RegenCen, we believe women deserve better.

Too often, conventional medicine dismisses these concerns or offers quick fixes that don’t work—antidepressants, sleep aids, or “just exercise more.”

We do things differently.

Our physician-led team provides personalized hormone treatment, bioidentical HRT, and testosterone support for women—including pellets, creams, and topical estrogen—all tailored to how you feel and what your labs show.

More about Menopause Treatments

Testosterone Treatment

Treating low testosterone isn’t just about aesthetics or performance — it’s about restoring vitality, confidence, and quality of life. Our low-maintenance testosterone pellet therapy avoids weekly injections and frequent clinic visits, making treatment easy and consistent.

Within just a few weeks, many men report feeling stronger, more focused, and more like they did 5 or 10 years ago— whether they’re in their 30s or 60s.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause looks different for every woman—and there are dozens of perimenopause symptoms that can affect your energy, mood, focus, and confidence.

At Regencen, we don’t believe this chapter of life should be something you just push through. We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, offering personalized care that’s rooted in science and centered on you.

Medical Weight Loss

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is also known as “feminine rejuvenation” and is defined by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery as one or more “procedures used to reduce, reshape, or tighten female genital tissues to restore a firmer tone and a more youthful and symmetrical appearance.” Feminine rejuvenation can also alleviate problems caused by vaginal tissue laxity.

Depending on the treatment, feminine rejuvenation can:

Improve vaginal tone and elasticity
Treat dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
Reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control)
Relieve vaginal itching, burning, pain or dryness

Custom hormone replacement therapy, backed by labs

Personalized hormone therapy
for every stage of life

Hormone shifts affect everyone differently—and they don’t stop at menopause. At RegenCen Chelsea, we provide individualized hormone replacement therapy for both women and men. For men, that often includes monitored testosterone therapy (TRT) tailored to lab results and long-term health goals. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, in the thick of menopause, or experiencing the fatigue, brain fog, or loss of drive that often come with low testosterone, our providers deliver evidence-based treatment designed to restore balance, energy, and clarity at every stage of midlife and beyond.
