What are the Benefits of Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy ensures the hormones are administered consistently throughout the day, without the risk of mood swings or missed doses. BioTE pellet therapy is a minimally-invasive treatment with very little chance of adverse reactions. The pellets are inserted into fatty tissue beneath the skin, usually in the gluteal region of the body, and release the hormones into the body.

Pellet therapy is more effective than other hormone replacement therapies because the pellets are pure hormone and your body is able to use the appropriate amount of hormone as the blood flow surrounds the pellet. Other hormone replacement therapies, like pills or shots, are less effective because they are metabolized by the body when passing through the stomach, liver, or skin.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required can vary from patient to patient. Most female patients typically need a reinsertion of pellets every three to four months, while most male patients usually need a reinsertion treatment every four to five months. During your consultation, our expert staff will recommend the appropriate treatment plan to suit your specific needs and goals.
