Hormone Replacement Therapy
Our bioidentical hormone replacement therapy restores hormonal balance using compounded hormones identical to those naturally produced by the body. This treatment alleviates symptoms of hormonal imbalances, such as fatigue, mood swings, and low libido, while supporting bone health, cardiovascular function, and metabolic efficiency. Patients receive personalized treatment plans based on lab results and symptoms.
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating micro-injuries in the skin, improving texture and reducing scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Our FDA-cleared SkinPen device ensures safe, effective results with minimal downtime. Treatments are tailored to address acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone for a refreshed appearance.
Laser Hair Removal
Using advanced Elite iQ technology, our laser hair removal targets hair follicles for permanent reduction. The treatment adapts to all skin types and areas, offering quick sessions with no downtime. Multiple sessions ensure lasting results by targeting hair in active growth phases.
IV Therapy
IV therapy delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. Our Tri Immune Boost and NAD+ infusions enhance energy, support immune function, and combat fatigue. Treatments are customized to address dehydration, recovery, and wellness goals efficiently.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels like BioRePeelCl3 and PRX/T33 rejuvenate skin by removing dead cells and stimulating renewal. These treatments address fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation, revealing smoother, brighter skin. Procedures are non-invasive with minimal downtime, suitable for all skin types.

Had the best experience here with Briana and Michelle. Sweetest ladies, so kind and empathetic. I was super nervous about getting a wax, and I can tell you it was the best experience! Not painful, super quick, and she was so sensitive to my anxiety. I definitely recommend this place, and I will be back. Thank you so much!

Outstanding service - I highly recommend The Alternative Touch to anyone experiencing hormonal imbalance, male or female. Paula is so professional, yet very warm and personable and truly cares about your needs/health concerns. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my Hormone Replacement Therapy!
