Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at a medical spa typically addresses low testosterone, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, or general age-related hormone decline. Treatment starts with bloodwork to measure levels of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, and sometimes DHEA or cortisol. From there, a provider prescribes a delivery method: injections, pellets implanted under the skin, topical creams or gels, or oral medication. Tampa has 7 providers offering this service, ranging from standalone hormone clinics to full-service medical spas that pair HRT with aesthetics or weight management.
What to look for before you book
The provider matters more than the marketing. Look for a clinic where a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant actually reviews your labs and manages dosing, not just a sales consultation that ends in a prescription. Ask who orders follow-up bloodwork and how often. Reputable clinics recheck levels 6-8 weeks after starting or adjusting a dose, then every 3-6 months once you're stable. Also ask about the delivery method options available on-site (pellets require an in-office procedure; injections you may self-administer at home) and what happens if you have side effects between visits.
How our scoring helps
We weigh provider credentials, how thorough the initial evaluation is, transparency around pricing and lab work, and what patients report about follow-up care and communication. The ranked guide to Tampa medical spas lists where each of these 7 providers lands and why. Our full scoring criteria are on the methodology page.
