Hormone Therapy

Q:  What is Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy (Biote), and how does it work?

A:  Biote Pellet Therapy involves inserting tiny, bioidentical hormone pellets subcutaneously—typically in the hip or buttock area. These pellets provide a steady, physiologic release of hormones like testosterone or estrogen over 3–6 months. Unlike creams or patches that cause fluctuating hormone levels, pellets maintain stable blood hormone levels without “roller coaster” effects .

Q:  What are the benefits and expected outcomes of Biote Pellet Therapy?

A:   Patients often experience consistent hormone levels with benefits including increased energy, improved mood, better sleep, enhanced libido, muscle tone retention, and relief from menopausal or andropause symptoms. Most notice improvements within 2–6 weeks post-insertion, with effects lasting until the pellets dissolve in 3–6 months.

A:  Ideal candidates are men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance—such as fatigue, low libido, mood swings, weight gain, night sweats, or decreased muscle mass.
