Pellet Therapy

For men and women who are experiencing sub-optimal hormone levels, the symptoms can have a significant impact on their quality of life. From physical issues like weight gain and decreased libido, to mental and emotional problems like lack of focus, anxiety, and depression, these challenges can take away some of life’s greatest pleasures.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be a true game-changer for people seeking relief. BHRT can be provided using many methods including topical gels and injections. However, there is another approach that frees you from daily or weekly dosing: hormone pellet therapy. While this proven method has been around for decades, it has gained momentum in recent years as health-conscious adults have looked to address their hormone levels in a way that works for their busy lifestyles.

How Hormone Pellet Therapy Works

Hormone pellet therapy uses bioidentical hormone pellets developed from plants and roughly the size of a grain of rice. The hormones they contain are identical in structure to those made naturally by the body. Both testosterone and estradiol are available in pellet form.

Pellet therapy is provided in a fast, in-office procedure in which a pellet is placed into a small incision made in the upper hip area. Once the pellet is in place, your body begins to metabolize the hormones gradually and steadily over the next 3-6 months. This action mimics what the body does when it’s functioning normally.

Advantages of Pellet Therapy

Pellet therapy provides the same type of hormone level correction and balancing as other methods. But, it has certain advantages, including:

• Body-directed dosing. After the pellet has been inserted, your body does the rest, absorbing the hormones over time. You don’t have to worry about sticking to a treatment regimen.
• Fast, efficient process. Having a pellet inserted is similar to having a blood test. A local anesthetic is used to numb the site, the pellet is placed, and medical tape closes the incision. There are no stitches and no scarring.
• Consistent delivery. Pellet therapy provides a consistent flow of hormones into the body for maximum benefit.

Pellet Therapy for Men

Men who receive testosterone pellet therapy enjoy many benefits. They include increased sex drive, better sexual performance, increased muscle mass, and lower body fat. They also experience higher energy levels, better mental focus, and enhanced mood.

Pellet Therapy for Women

Women who choose pellet therapy for testosterone replacement get similar benefits to men, including elevated libido, enhanced sexual sensation, better weight control, lower body fat, and increased lean body mass. Plus, the treatment improves bone density, helps stabilize mood, and increases mental clarity.
