What is BioTE® Hormone Pellet Therapy?

BioTE® is a personalized hormone replacement program that uses bioidentical hormone pellets to help women and men achieve the optimal levels of estrogen and testosterone.

What is the treatment process like?

• A full medical consultation with a Registered Nurse and a Nurse Practitioner (NP)

• A full review of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals

• Advanced lab tests for diagnosis

• Dosing that is tailored to each person's needs based on a clinical evaluation

• A quick in-office procedure positions the pellets just under the skin, where they release hormones steadily over the course of several months. This means that you don't have to worry about daily maintenance or hormone changes.

• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up

• Adding DIM (Diindolylmethane) when needed to help the body break down estrogen in a healthy way

*We make all treatment decisions based on lab results, clinical findings, and what is medically necessary. Therapy can only start after the patient has given their full consent and the provider has agreed.

What signs might mean I need hormone replacement therapy?

Common signs of hormone imbalance are tiredness, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, trouble sleeping, hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, erectile dysfunction, brain fog, and loss of muscle mass. Hormone optimization might be worth looking into if you don't feel like yourself and don't know why. Our Woodbury team looks at your symptoms and lab tests to see if therapy is right for you.

What's the difference between HRT for women and TRT for men?

Hormone replacement therapy for women usually aims to balance estrogen and testosterone levels during perimenopause or menopause. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helps men with low testosterone levels that can affect their energy, mood, strength, and sexual health. At The Med Spa, both programs use BioTE® pellets to give you steady, long-lasting support.

Why does The Med Spa use BioTE® pellets instead of shots?

BioTE® pellets slowly release hormones over the course of several months. Pellets don't need to be taken every day like injections or creams do, and they don't cause hormone spikes. Pellet therapy is more convenient and stable for many patients because they don't have to remember to apply it every day or make weekly appointments.

Does inserting the pellets hurt?

Inserting pellets is a quick procedure that can be done in the office. Most patients say they don't feel much pain, but maybe a pinch. The pellets are put just under the skin, usually in the upper hip area. The appointment usually lasts less than 30 minutes.

How long do BioTE® pellets stay good?

Depending on your metabolism and how much you need, pellets usually give hormone support for 3 to 5 months. Follow-up lab work and symptom assessment help figure out when to do the next insertion.

What is DIM, and why might I need it?

DIM (Diindolylmethane) is a supplement that is included in your HRT membership to help with healthy estrogen metabolism as part of BioTE® therapy. When appropriate, it helps balance hormones and make treatments work better.

Is hormone pellet therapy safe?

A full lab evaluation will determine whether or not someone should get BioTE® therapy. Ongoing supervision by our medical staff will ensure that you are achieving optimal hormone levels in a safe and effective way. Before therapy starts, the risks and benefits are talked about in depth, just like with any other medical treatment.

When will I feel the benefits of HRT with BioTE®?

A lot of patients start to feel better in a few weeks, with more energy, better mood, and better sleep. It may take a few months for hormone levels to stabilize and full optimization to happen. Follow-up is an important part of the program because every patient reacts differently.

Who would benefit from BioTE® Hormone Therapy?

Adults showing signs of hormone imbalance and having lab-confirmed deficiencies may be suitable candidates.
