HRT & Pellets

We offer all options for hormone replacement therapy from sublingual, topical, orals, injectables, and subdermal pellets. We want the patient to have the option that is best for them to get them feeling their best.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

HRT may help relieve stress, foggy thinking, weight gain, sleep disturbances, or other symptoms. Some patients start to feel the benefits of hormone therapy in as little as four weeks, but full hormone optimization can take up to six months, depending on the individual’s needs.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can come in oral, topical, and pellet forms. HRT using pellets offers a consistent administration and may help prevent rollercoaster-like effects.

How Do You Get Started?

First, schedule an office visit with us to test current hormone levels. Based on comprehensive consultation and extensive lab work, providers will determine which therapy method is best. Patients will then schedule a quick follow-up appointment to review their results and/or for pellet therapy insertion.

What to Expect

Pellets are inserted subcutaneously in the upper buttocks. They are made of custom-compounded hormones and binders that hold them together. Every batch of hormones is tested for potency, sterility, and endotoxins, which ensures that patients are being provided the best possible therapy to expedite their journey towards optimal wellness.

During the in-office visit, which only takes a few minutes, patients are brought into the exam room, and the insertion site is numbed. The most common site of insertion is the upper buttocks. A small incision is then made for pellet insertion. Once the pellet is inserted, the insertion site is covered with a small bandage.

What Happens After the Pellets are Inserted?

After pellet insertion, it’s best to eliminate lower body exercise. Walking should be fine, but extraneous activity is not recommended. Swimming, hot tubs, and bathtubs are to be avoided; however, showers are permitted. After removal of the bandage, normal activity may resume.
