September is National Menopause Awareness Month and Healthy Aging Month
by Dr. Lucie Capek, Board-Certified New York-Based Plastic Surgeon
At Capek Plastic Surgery & MedSpa, we believe wellness is more than a buzzword—it’s a commitment to whole-body health. Wellness means honoring the deep connection between mind and body while empowering you with proven treatments, education, and compassionate care. This September, in honor of National Menopause Awareness Month and Healthy Aging Month, we’re shining a spotlight on how women can embrace this chapter of life with confidence, balance, and vitality.
Why Menopause Awareness Matters
Menopause is a natural transition, yet it often comes with symptoms that affect physical comfort, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Hot flashes, poor sleep, mood swings, low energy, and changes in sexual health are all common experiences, but they don’t have to be accepted as the “new normal.”
By raising awareness, we can break the silence around menopause, provide education about treatment options, and encourage women to advocate for their health.
Healthy Aging: Redefining Beauty and Wellness
Healthy Aging Month reminds us that getting older can be a beautiful process when approached with the right mindset and support. At our practice, we specialize in treatments that help you look and feel your best at every stage of life. From advanced cosmetic surgery and injectables to skin rejuvenation and hormone health, we provide a comprehensive approach to aging gracefully and vibrantly.
Dr. Lucie Capek has built her career on combining artistry, precision, and compassion. As a female plastic surgeon in the Capital Region for nearly three decades, she understands the unique challenges women face through life’s transitions, including menopause. Her mission is to help patients feel empowered in their own skin, no matter their age.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) with Pellets
One of the most powerful tools we offer for women navigating perimenopause and menopause is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) with Pellets. Unlike pills or creams that require daily upkeep and can cause hormone fluctuations, pellet therapy provides a consistent, steady release of hormones over several months.
Benefits of BHRT with Pellets:
- Relief from hot flashes and night sweats
- Improved mood and mental clarity
- Better sleep quality
- Restored energy levels
- Increased libido and comfort
- Stronger bone density and muscle support
- Improved weight management and metabolism
- Cardiovascular and breast health protection
Pellet therapy uses hormones derived from plants that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally produced before menopause. With just 3–4 simple insertions per year, women can experience lasting relief and improved overall wellness.
What to Expect with Pellet Therapy
- Consultation – Our providers evaluate your health and symptoms, followed by a blood draw to measure hormone levels.
- Customized Plan – Your therapy is tailored specifically to your body’s needs.
- Pellet Insertion – A quick in-office procedure places tiny pellets under the skin, usually in the hip area, with minimal discomfort.
- Steady Release – Hormones are delivered consistently, avoiding the ups and downs of other therapies.
- Ongoing Support – We monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed to keep you feeling your best.

Whether it’s restoring balance with BHRT, refreshing your appearance with non-surgical treatments, or achieving transformative results through cosmetic surgery, we believe in empowering you to look and feel your best through every stage of life.
This September, let’s celebrate National Menopause Awareness Month and Healthy Aging Month by starting conversations, breaking stigmas, and prioritizing women’s health and wellness.
