— Our Approach

Consistent hormones, without the daily ritual.

Hormone pellets are tiny, rice-grain-sized implants of bioidentical hormone placed just under the skin, typically near the hip or upper buttock. Once in place, the pellet dissolves slowly and releases hormone steadily into the bloodstream over three to four months.

That steady release is the advantage: balanced levels without the daily fluctuations of creams or the peaks and troughs of injections. We use only bioidentical hormones from regulated compounding facilities, dosed to your blood work and symptoms.

Place it once, and let it work — steadily, for months.

— Why Pellets

The case for steady-state delivery.

Pellets are not for everyone, but for the right patient they solve the two biggest frustrations of hormone therapy: consistency and convenience.

Steady Levels

A slowly dissolving pellet keeps hormone levels even, avoiding the highs and lows that come with pills, creams, or injection schedules.

ConsistentNo spikes

Low Maintenance

No daily creams to apply or shots to schedule. Most patients return only every three to four months for a quick re-insertion.

No daily doseConvenient

Bioidentical Hormones

Testosterone for men with low T or andropause, estrogen for menopausal women, or custom combinations — all bioidentical and compounded.

A Simple Procedure

Placement is a quick, well-tolerated in-office procedure under local anesthetic, with a tiny insertion site and no daily upkeep afterward.

— How It Works

A quick placement, then months of steady release.

At your visit, the area is numbed and the pellet is placed just beneath the skin through a tiny incision — a brief, well-tolerated procedure. From there it dissolves gradually, releasing a steady stream of hormone for three to four months before it is time for the next.

Because the hormone is absorbed steadily rather than processed in a single daily dose, many patients report fewer fluctuations and a smoother day-to-day experience. Initial benefits often appear within a few weeks, with fuller effects by about three months.

— Common Questions

Things people ask us, often.

01What is hormone pellet therapy?

It is a method of hormone delivery in which a tiny, rice-grain-sized pellet of bioidentical hormone is placed just under the skin. The pellet dissolves slowly over three to four months, releasing a steady stream of testosterone or estrogen into the bloodstream.

02Is the insertion painful?

The placement is a quick, simple in-office procedure performed under local anesthetic, so it is generally well tolerated. The insertion site is tiny, and most patients return to normal activity quickly with little to no discomfort.

03How long do pellets last?

Most pellets release hormone steadily for about three to four months before they need to be replaced. We time re-insertions to your individual response and confirm your levels with periodic lab work.

04What are the benefits of pellets over creams or injections?

Pellets provide consistent hormone levels without the daily fluctuations of creams or the peaks and valleys of injections, and they require no daily maintenance. For many patients this means steadier energy, mood, and symptom relief with far less effort.

05How do I know if pellet therapy is right for me?

We start with blood testing and a review of your symptoms to confirm a hormone deficiency and determine whether steady pellet delivery suits your physiology and lifestyle. Pellets are one of several delivery options we will discuss with you.
