PROCEDURE
Pellets are normally placed just beneath the skin above the gluteus area or just above the back waistline in some men. This procedure only takes about 5-10 minutes and causes minimal discomfort. The pellets wear off on their own and are replaced about every 3-4 months for women, and 5-6 months for men.
DOSING
Unique dosing is generated for each patient, so dosing is customized for what your body needs. Labs are drawn before hormone therapy and highly recommended 4 weeks after treatment for best management of hormone levels. Once established, annual labs are all that is required. Pellets deliver bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for up to 4-6 months. Pills, patches, creams, and shots cannot provide a steady delivery of hormones 24/7. Pellets provide a constant supply of hormones that your body recognizes, which significantly reduces the chance of adverse side effects.
