What
Hormone pellets are small, bioidentical hormone-filled cylinders that are typically implanted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttock area. These pellets provide a steady release of hormones over time, maintaining consistent hormone levels in the body. This method of delivery is preferred by many patients due to its convenience and effectiveness.
- Bioidentical Hormones: The pellets contain hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body, such as estrogen and testosterone. This compatibility allows for the body to utilize them more effectively.
- Consistent Dosing: The pellets are designed to release hormones steadily over 3 to 6 months, which means patients do not need to remember daily doses or frequent injections.
Minimally Invasive Procedure: The insertion of hormone pellets is a simple procedure performed in-office with local anesthesia, allowing for a quick recovery
