What is Hormone Pellet Therapy and How Does It Work?
Hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy where small rice-sized pellets containing bioidentical estradiol, testosterone, or progesterone are inserted under the skin. The pellets are made of a compound called ethylene vinyl acetate, which allows the hormones to be released steadily over 3-6 months as the pellet dissolves.
This provides a continuous, low dose of hormones directly into the bloodstream, which closely mimics the body’s natural hormone patterns compared to the fluctuations of daily pills or weekly patches. The steady hormone delivery system keeps levels balanced, which can help relieve menopause and andropause symptoms.
The quick insertion procedure is done in-office using a local anesthetic. A tiny incision is made in the hip or abdomen area, and the pellets are placed under the skin using a sterile applicator.
The incision is so small that stitches are not required. Patients return every 3-6 months for a simple pellet reinsertion to maintain optimal hormone levels long-term.
Why Is Hormone Balance Important for Health and Wellness?
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone regulate many critical bodily processes related to metabolism, growth, mood, reproductive health, stress response, and more. When these hormones decline or become imbalanced, it can negatively impact your physical and mental health in numerous ways.
Some effects of hormone imbalance include:
- Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness
- Low libido and sexual dysfunction
- Weight gain and slowed metabolism
- Loss of muscle mass and bone density
- Fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression
- Reduced muscle mass and strength
- Cardiovascular effects like high cholesterol
- Impaired memory, focus and concentration
Balancing your hormones with pellet therapy can help counteract these wide-ranging effects, improving your symptoms so you can get back to optimal wellness, health, and an overall improved quality of life.
Our Hormone Pellet Options
Hormone pellets offer an effective form of hormone replacement therapy that can help both men and women correct imbalances and optimize hormone levels. The bioidentical hormones in the pellets such as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen works in the body in different ways such as:
Testosterone
Testosterone pellets can be beneficial for both men and women. For men, testosterone pellets help elevate low testosterone levels, building lean muscle mass, improving libido, boosting energy, sharpening focus, lifting mood, and reducing body fat. For women, testosterone pellets in small doses can improve libido, energy, and sense of wellbeing.
Progesterone
Progesterone pellets help supplement progesterone levels in women. Progesterone provides many benefits including regulating the menstrual cycle, preventing uterine cancer, relieving PMS symptoms, improving fertility, and reducing hot flashes and night sweats during menopause.
Estrogen
Estrogen pellets can help women replace declining estrogen levels that occur during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen pellets minimize debilitating menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, irritability, and sleep disruptions. Estrogen also supports heart health, brain function, and bone density as women transition through menopause.

Hormone pellet therapy provides a number of advantages over other hormone delivery methods.

- The pellets themselves last 3-6 months, meaning you only need brief quarterly procedures for maintenance.
- The pellets are also highly bioavailable, absorbing efficiently into the bloodstream from under the skin.
- Customizable dosing allows the pellets to be tailored to your individual hormone needs and preferences.
