Pellet Hormone Therapy

Discover a Balanced You: Pellet Hormone Therapy

At Habits+ Med Spa we believe in the perfect union of nature and science for the betterment of your wellbeing. Pellet hormone therapy is one of our signatures services, designed to cater to those seeking a harmonized life.

What is Pellet Hormone Therapy?

PHT is an advanced, bio-identical hormone replacement technique where tiny pellets, smaller than a grain of rice, are implanted beneath the skin. These pellets release consistent and natural doses of hormones, rejuvenating your body and restoring hormonal equilibrium.

Pellets are tiny, custom-compounded therapies for symptoms stemming from hormonal imbalances. They are made of natural plant-based ingredients and are about the size of a grain of rice. They are structurally the same as hormones native to our body (bioidentical).

WERE YOU TOLD THIS IS ALL A PART OF LIFE?

We beg to differ; you do not have to live feeling like this.

Many of these symptoms stem from testosterone deficiency in both genders. The cornerstone of our practice is testosterone replacement therapy for both men and women. This is done by placing these small pellets into the upper hip area.

The advantages of testosterone pellet therapy over other delivery methods include steady, consistent blood levels instead of the spikes and dips in blood levels associated with injections. Additionally, pellet therapy involves less frequent treatments: every 3-4 months instead of weekly injections. Contact us for a consultation and evaluation if you are experiencing any of the symptoms and problems mentioned.

The health benefits of testosterone pellet therapy include:

Decreased blood sugar and insulin resistance
Improved heart health
Improved memory and mental clarity
Decreased fat and Increased muscle mass and bone density
Increased energy levels and sex drive
Improvement in menopausal, perimenopausal and menstrual symptoms
Decreased anxiety and overall improved sense of well being and quality of life

Some facts concerning “T” therapy:

In both sexes, testosterone is the most common sex hormone.
In both sexes, there are cell receptors, or “doorways” throughout the body for testosterone: the brain, heart, muscle, bone, bladder, skin, fat, breast, uterus and male sex organs. These tissues require testosterone for proper function; therefore the effects of testosterone on the body are global and critical.
Estrogen is a vital hormone as well for both sexes. It is actually derived from testosterone and converted to estrogen inside the cells of our bodies by an enzyme called aromatase. This intracellular estrogen has important functions for many of the body’s critical systems.
Some females require additional dosing with estrogen or progesterone and can be included as part of the pellet therapy.
Testosterone pellet therapy has been shown to decrease breast cancer incidence in females and actually shrink breast cancers in the lab and in human studies.

What are Hormone Pellets?

Hormone pellets are tiny, custom-compounded therapies for symptoms that stem from hormonal imbalances. They are made of natural plant-based ingredients and are about the size of a grain of rice. The pellets are bioidentical, meaning they are structurally the same as hormones native to our body.

What Does a Hormone Pellet Do?

When inserted under the skin, these pellets consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones. They provide optimal therapy by maintaining consistent hormone levels, mimicking the body’s natural rhythm.

Pros of Hormone Pellets

1. Natural & Bioidentical: Unlike some synthetic alternatives, the hormones used in our pellet therapy are derived from natural plant sources and are identical to the body’s own hormones.

2. Steady Release: Pellets ensure a consistent release of hormones, eliminating the peaks and troughs associated with other delivery methods.

3. Long-Lasting: A single pellet insertion can provide a steady flow of hormones for 3-6 months.

4. Minimal Side Effects: Due to the bioidentical nature and steady release mechanism, our patients experience fewer side effects.

FAQ

Do Hormone Pellets Make You Gain or Lose Weight?

Hormone pellets can help regulate body metabolism and energy use, which can assist with weight control. However, they are not a weight loss solution on their own. Some patients report weight loss due to optimized hormone levels, while others might experience weight stability. As with any therapy, individual results may vary.

Are They Safe?

Absolutely. When administered by trained professionals like our team at Habits+ Med Spa, pellet hormone therapy is both safe and effective. However, like all medical procedures, it’s essential to discuss personal health conditions and potential risks.

Are There Any Side Effects?

While pellet hormone therapy is well-tolerated by most, potential side effects might include:

Minor bleeding or bruising at the insertion site.
Swelling or redness at the insertion site.
In rare cases, infection at the insertion site.
Potential changes in hair growth or mood swings.

How often do I need the therapy?

Typically, pellets last 3-6 months, after which they are naturally dissolved by the body. Your specific needs will dictate the frequency.

Will there be any scars from the pellet insertion?

The insertion is minimally invasive with a tiny incision, often leaving no noticeable scar.

How Much Do Hormone Pellets Cost?

The cost of hormone pellet therapy varies based on individual needs and geographic location. At Habits+ Med Spa, we prioritize transparency. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss any available financing or insurance coverage options.
