What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, commonly called BHRT, uses hormones that have the same molecular structure as hormones naturally produced by the human body.

Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play important roles in numerous bodily functions, including reproductive health, bone health, sexual function, and metabolism.

As we age, hormone levels naturally change. For women, significant hormonal fluctuations can occur during perimenopause and menopause. Men may also experience a gradual decline in testosterone levels over time.

For some individuals, these changes can contribute to uncomfortable symptoms that affect daily life and overall well-being.

Hormone replacement therapy may help address certain symptoms associated with hormone deficiency or menopause. Treatment recommendations depend on individual symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings, and a careful assessment of potential benefits and risks.

At Rejuvenations Medi Spa, we take an individualized approach to hormone health, helping patients better understand their options and make informed decisions about treatment.

What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?

A Personalized Approach to Hormone Replacement

Hormone pellet therapy is one method of delivering bioidentical hormones through small pellets placed beneath the skin.

These pellets, typically about the size of a grain of rice, are inserted during a brief in-office procedure using local anesthesia.

Once inserted, the pellets gradually release hormones into the bloodstream over several months.

Unlike daily pills, creams, or patches, hormone pellets do not require daily administration.

However, because pellets cannot be easily removed or adjusted after insertion, careful patient selection, individualized dosing, and ongoing medical monitoring are important.

Pellet therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Your medical provider will discuss available hormone replacement options, potential risks, and whether pellet therapy is suitable for your individual needs.

What To Expect

  • Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT uses hormones that are structurally similar to those found within the human body.

  • Pellet Therapy is a form of hormone replacement therapy that uses bioidentical hormones. The hormones are delivered through small pellets implanted under the skin, providing a consistent release of hormones into the bloodstream.

  • Bioidentical hormones, such as Biote, work with the body’s chemistry because they closely replicate the molecular structure of the hormones that normally occur within the body.

  • Pellets last up to three to six months depending on gender, weight, absorption rates, and the amount of deficiency or surplus of hormones present within the patient at the time of insertion. Pellets are reinserted between two to four times per year to help keep hormones optimized and balanced and may take up to two insertions before feeling the full benefits.

  • No, we do not accept insurance for Biote Pellet Therapy. Payment is required out of pocket.
