Learn More About Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy

Clinic 45 is proud to offer bioidentical hormone pellet therapy for relief of menopause symptoms and hormone deficiencies. Pellet therapy allows our medical providers to specifically tailor the dosages of hormones to each woman’s specific needs. Pellet therapy uses hormones derived from natural plant sources to replicate the body’s normal hormonal levels. Using a painless office procedure, they are inserted under the skin in the hip area, consistently releasing small, physiological doses of hormones for optimal therapy.

Typical oral and transdermal forms of therapy produce “roller coaster” hormone levels. This can cause side effects for the patient, such as mood and energy fluctuations. However, hormone pellet therapy is the only method of hormone therapy that provides sustained hormone levels throughout the day for up to four to six months. This form of therapy also won’t cause any “roller coaster” effect, meaning you can continue to live your life without interruption to your mood or energy levels.

The hormones used in pellet therapy are completely natural. This makes pellet therapy ideal for patients who want the benefits of a natural hormone without the drawbacks of synthetic ones.

The cost for inserting pellets will vary depending on the dose of the hormone and the number of pellets needed. Pellets need to be inserted two to four times a year, depending on how rapidly a patient metabolizes hormones. Compared to the cost of drugs to treat the individual symptoms of hormone deficiency, pellets are very cost effective.

The medical providers at Clinic 45 have all undergone advanced training in hormone therapy in order to provide patients with the latest options.
