Take a moment to find out why pellet therapy is a preferred option for patients who are seeking hormone balance.

Understanding hormone therapy

Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through your body, influencing everything from your mood and energy levels to your sleep and sex drive. 

When your hormone levels are in balance, you tend to feel your best. But when they’re out of sync, you can experience a range of frustrating and uncomfortable symptoms, such as:

• Unexplained changes in your weight (gain or loss)
• Persistent fatigue
• Changes in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea, or frequency)
• Depression, anxiety, or mood swings
• Difficulty regulating your body temperature
• Lower sex drive and/or difficulties with sexual function
• Breakouts or acne

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) isn’t just for women going through menopause. While it’s often associated with that stage of life, hormonal imbalances can affect men and women of all ages. 

In fact, roughly 25% of men over 30 have low levels of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. Factors like stress, lifestyle, genetics, and even environmental toxins can play a role. 

HRT involves supplementing or adjusting hormone levels to alleviate symptoms and improve your well-being. Some use synthetic hormones, while others, like BHRT, use hormones derived from natural sources that are chemically identical to those your body produces.

Why choose pellet therapy?

When it comes to BHRT, you have several options: pills, shots, patches, gels, and pellets. But what exactly are hormone pellets? They’re small, cylindrical implants — about the size of a grain of rice — that contain bioidentical hormones.

We insert them just under the skin, usually in the hip or buttock, during a simple, in-office procedure using the innovative Pellecome Re3® device. Once implanted, they release hormones directly into the bloodstream at a steady and consistent rate.

What makes pellet BHRT stand out? Let’s take a look at the key benefits:

Convenience

Unlike daily creams or weekly injections, pellets deliver hormones for about three months before they need to be replaced. This eliminates the need for daily dosing or remembering to apply topical products, making it a hassle-free option to suit your busy life.

Consistency

Consistency is key to effectively balancing your hormone levels. Pellets steadily release hormones into your blood, bypassing the liver and gastrointestinal system. This allows your body to absorb more or less of the hormone as needed, and it minimizes unwanted side effects.

Discretion and privacy

Pellet BHRT offers a more discreet, private way to manage hormone imbalances. Once implanted, the pellets aren’t visible, and you don’t have to worry about carrying topical products or injection supplies with you when you travel.

Imagine feeling energetic, focused, and truly yourself again. Book an appointment online or by phone at The MD Aesthetics to find out if pellet BHRT is the right choice for you.
