Hormone Pellets Therapy

What is BHRT?

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is a precise method of delivering the exact hormones your body needs to achieve a balanced state. These hormones are pressed into small pellets. The pellets are inserted under the skin where they release constant levels of hormones 24/7.

How do they work?

When your body no longer produces the proper levels of hormones needed, BHRT pellets replace the hormones your body is lacking. Bio-identical pellets have been proven to be the most effective delivery system of the specific hormones your body requires in terms of absorption and availability. Unlike creams, gels or injections, pellet therapy provides more consistent levels over a longer period of time.

Is it safe?

BHRT has been used in the US since 1938. Bio-identical hormones are all-natural plant-based products. They have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced within our own bodies. BHRT should not be confused with “synthetic hormones” which can be found in many creams, gels, and injectables commonly used in hormone therapy.

What are the benefits of BHRT?

Following your initial treatment, the body’s hormone levels are restored to their proper levels. The results for both men and women include:

• Increased energy levels
• Enhanced sexual libido
• Improved mental clarity
• Increased bone density
• Reduced body fat
• Decreased depression/anxiety
• Healthy sense of well-being
• Reduces hot flashes

How are they inserted?

BHRT is a short, simple, in-office procedure using local anesthesia. The pellets are placed just under the skin into the fatty layer.

When will you notice a difference?

Most female patients begin to feel better within 48-72 hours, but it may take a week or two for some to notice a difference. Men can expect to experience the benefits of the pellets within one to two weeks. A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise goes hand-in-hand with hormone balance.
