Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormone Pellet Therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that delivers a steady, long-lasting release of testosterone to help men maintain optimal hormone levels. Unlike injections, creams, or patches, hormone pellets are small, 
customized compounds inserted subcutaneously (under the skin) in a simple outpatient procedure. These pellets continuously release hormones over 3–6 months, mimicking the body’s natural hormone secretion and helps restore hormonal balance, improving overall 
well-being and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most men begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, with full benefits typically felt within 4–6 weeks.
Pellets typically last between 3–6 months, depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle,
and dosage.
Some men may experience mild side effects, including temporary swelling, tenderness at
the insertion site, or acne. Less common side effects include increased red blood cell count
or mild fluid retention. A provider will monitor hormone levels and adjust treatment as
needed.
Testosterone therapy, including pellets, may suppress sperm production. Men who are
trying to conceive should discuss alternative treatments with their provider.
While not a weight loss treatment, testosterone optimization can improve metabolism,
support muscle growth, and help with fat loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
There is minimal downtime. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and
swimming for a few days to allow proper healing of the insertion site.
A thorough evaluation, including a hormone panel blood test and consultation with a
medical professional, can determine if testosterone therapy is right for you.
