How Does BioTE Pellet Therapy Work?
BioTE Pellet Therapy is a form of Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that uses bioidentical hormone pellets to treat hormonal imbalances in men and women. The pellets, which are made from natural sources and are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the body, are inserted just under the skin, typically in the hip area. This minimally invasive procedure is performed in a healthcare provider's office under local anesthesia and takes only a few minutes.
Once implanted, the pellets release a consistent, low dose of hormones over several months, mimicking the body's natural hormone release more closely than other HRT methods. This steady delivery helps maintain optimal hormone levels, reducing symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased libido. Patients generally notice improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks, and the effects of the pellets typically last three to six months, at which point a new pellet can be inserted to maintain hormone balance.
