Biodentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is Hormone Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy uses hormones derived to replicate the body’s normal hormonal levels. Patients have found that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is extremely effective. Implants, placed under the skin, consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones that provide optimal therapy.

Unlike oral and transdermal forms of therapy — which produce “roller coaster” hormone levels, resulting in mood and energy fluctuations for the patient — the BioTE® Medical Method using bio-identical hormone pellet therapy is the only delivery method of hormone therapy that provides sustained hormone levels throughout the day for up to three to five months without any “roller coaster” effect.

What are Hormone Pellets?

Studies show pellets are one of the most effective ways to deliver hormones in both men and women. To create hormone pellets, a compounding pharmacist fuses estrogen or testosterone into small cylinders.

These pellets, some of which are smaller than a grain of rice, are placed in the fatty tissue beneath the skin and most closely mimic the actions of healthy ovaries and testicles with regard to hormone release into the bloodstream. The hormone pellet implantation is an easily performed and only takes 30 mins at our Cedar Park or Georgetown clinics with Dr. Laurette Smith.

Precise Dosing is Key.

Proper hormone levels are determined by the BioTE® comprehensive bloodwork analysis. Unique dosing is generated for each individual patient, so dosing is customized for what your body needs. Pellets deliver bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for up to 5 months. Pills, patches, creams and shots cannot provide a steady delivery of hormones 24/7. Pellets provide a constant supply of hormones that your body recognizes, which significantly reduces the chance of adverse side effects.

Symptoms of Imbalanced Hormones.

Many of these symptoms are accepted as part of aging, but the good news is that they can be improved or even eliminated with the right treatment. You may be suffering from some of these common complaints:

• Difficulty sleeping at night

• Moody, anxious or depressed
• Weight gain, including increased fat around the midsection
• Inability to lose weight regardless of healthy diet and exercise

Most likely, hormone imbalance is a primary contributor to these conditions.
