BHRT Pellet Therapy

A Steady, Personalized Approach to Hormone Support

Hormonal imbalances can affect how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally — and for many, finding the right form of hormone support can make a meaningful difference. Pellet therapy, a method of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), offers a long-acting, low-maintenance option designed to deliver consistent hormone support over time.

What Is BHRT Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy involves inserting tiny, customized pellets typically made from plant-derived bioidentical hormones like estradiol or testosterone just beneath the skin, usually in the hip or upper gluteal area.

These pellets slowly dissolve over the course of 3 to 5 months, releasing a steady stream of hormones into the bloodstream. The dosing is tailored to your body’s needs based on symptoms, lab testing, and provider guidance.

Note: BHRT pellets are compounded and must be administered by a trained medical provider. This therapy is not suitable for everyone and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.

Why Patients Choose Pellet Therapy

Pellet therapy is one of the most popular BHRT delivery methods for both women and men experiencing hormone fluctuations related to:

  • Perimenopause and menopause
  • Andropause (age-related testosterone decline)
  • Fatigue, mood changes, brain fog
  • Changes in libido, recovery, or muscle tone

While every individual is different, many people prefer pellet therapy for its low-maintenance and consistent delivery.

Benefits of BHRT Pellet Therapy

  • Steady Hormone Levels: Unlike creams or pills, pellets provide gradual absorption, which may help avoid the “roller coaster” effect of fluctuating hormone levels.
  • Convenience: No daily application or frequent dosing. One pellet insertion can last 3–5 months.
  • Custom Dosing: Formulated specifically for your body and adjusted based on lab testing and symptoms.
  • Discreet: Once inserted, there’s nothing to manage or remember.

What to Expect During the Process

  • Consultation & Lab Work: You’ll meet with a licensed provider to discuss symptoms, history, and complete hormone testing.
  • Personalized Plan: Your provider will determine the appropriate dose and type of hormone (estrogen, testosterone, or both).
  • Insertion Procedure: Pellets are inserted in-office through a small incision under local anesthetic. The procedure takes about 15–20 minutes.
  • Follow-Up & Monitoring: Regular check-ins and lab work help ensure your therapy is working safely and effectively.

Is It Right for You?

  • Pellet therapy may be appropriate if:
  • You’re seeking a low-maintenance, long-lasting hormone solution
  • You prefer bioidentical over synthetic hormones
  • You value stable hormone support without daily dosing
  • You are committed to ongoing medical supervision and labs

Not everyone is a candidate for BHRT pellets, and therapy should always be monitored by a qualified provider.

⚠️ Important Considerations

  • Slight soreness or bruising may occur post-insertion
  • Hormone levels may take a few weeks to stabilize after placement
  • Follow-up labs are important to optimize your dosing and safety

All hormone therapy involves potential risks and benefits. Your provider will walk you through everything before starting care.
