Hormone Replacement Therapy in Dubai
Restore your hormonal homeostasis and energy levels with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) regulated under Dubai Health Authority (DHA) protocols. This treatment uses plant-based bioidentical hormones that mimic your body’s own. It’s tailored to your unique endocrine profile to support cognitive clarity, restorative sleep, emotional stability, and somatic well-being. BHRT is beneficial for symptoms linked to menopausal transition, late-onset hypogonadism (andropause), thyroid dysfunction or adrenal insufficiency. At The Nova Clinic, DHA-licensed endocrinologists start your therapy with a personalized hormone and metabolic evaluation. Our goal is to support your long-term vitality through precise dosing and clinically monitored hormone modulation.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a clinically supervised hormone restoration method that uses plant-derived, molecularly identical hormones to those produced naturally by the human body.
For women, this includes estradiol or a combination of estradiol and micronised progesterone to ease vasomotor symptoms and support osteoprotective health. For men, it usually means testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to improve energy, mental clarity, and sexual health. BHRT can also balance thyroid hormones (T3/T4) or adrenocortical hormones (cortisol/DHEA), which to regulate neuroendocrine mood pathways, basal metabolic rate, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis stress levels. According to a study at PubMed, 72% of women using BHRT reported significant relief in vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats) within 8 weeks.
How Does BHRT Work?
Dive into the step-by-step process of how BHRT restores hormonal harmony and supports your body’s natural rhythm.
- Complete Hormone Evaluation We begin with an in-depth consultation and collect hormone data through venous blood draw, saliva samples, urinary metabolites and biomarkers like SHBG, reverse T3, and FSH/LH ratios. This reveals imbalances in estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid (TSH, T3, T4), or cortisol levels.
- Preparation of Individualized Treatment We design a custom hormone replacement protocol using bioidentical compounds that match your own body’s endogenous hormones ensuring maximum compatibility at the receptor level with minimal side effects.
- Precision Delivery Modes Your treatment may be delivered as a topical transdermal cream, percutaneous gel, or oral micronised capsule selected based on your body’s pharmacokinetic absorption profile and lifestyle considerations.
- Optimization and Monitoring We track your progress with routine clinical follow-ups and repeat hormone testing. Based on your results, we fine-tune hormone dosages and delivery systems to maintain euthymia, metabolic stability and sexual health restoration.

What Conditions Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Treat?
Discover how BHRT supports hormonal health by restoring balance, improving function, and addressing the root causes of common symptoms.
- Menopause & Perimenopause: Helps manage vasomotor instability, mood dysregulation, and urogenital atrophy
- Andropause: Restores androgenic function, mood, and libido in aging men
- Chronic Fatigue: Addresses adrenal or thyroid-related hypofunction
- Mood Disorders: Supports neurohormonal stability in cases of irritability and anxiety
- Sleep Disturbances: Improves circadian hormone regulation
- Low Libido & Sexual Dysfunction: Helps restore libidinal drive and sexual responsiveness
- Weight Gain & Metabolic Sluggishness: Rebalances metabolic hormones affecting lipid and glucose metabolism
- Brain Fog & Memory Issues: Sharpens executive function by regulating neuroendocrine inputs
- Thyroid Imbalances: Complements thyroid hormone replacement for Hashimoto’s or other hypothyroid cases
- Osteoporosis: Reduces risk by maintaining estrogen/testosterone levels essential for bone remodeling

Yes. Accurate endocrinological testing helps tailor the therapy and ensure it’s both safe and clinically effective.
How Long Does It Take to See Effects After Starting BHRT?
Many patients feel benefits like improved sleep and mood in 2–4 weeks. Full benefits such as libido restoration or muscle performance, may take up to 12 weeks.
What Types of HRT Are Available?
We offer BHRT in oral, transdermal, and topical formats. The method is chosen based on your clinical presentation and pharmacodynamic response.
For how long am I going to have to stay on HRT?
The duration of therapy depends on your treatment goals, severity of symptoms, and hormonal response curve.
Can I combine BHRT with other treatments?
Yes. Many clients use BHRT alongside complementary integrative therapies. Your doctor will advise on safe therapeutic synergies.

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
