What is Pellet Therapy?

Pellet Therapy is a cutting-edge hormone replacement therapy (HRT) option that provides a steady, controlled release of hormones over time. This innovative method involves the insertion of tiny hormone pellets under the skin, where they gradually release bioidentical hormones into the bloodstream. This consistent delivery ensures your body maintains balanced hormone levels, offering a solution for both men and women struggling with hormonal imbalances. At Saving Face Austin, we offer customized pellet therapy to help you regain your vitality, reduce symptoms of hormone deficiencies, and enhance your overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with menopause, andropause, or other hormone-related conditions, our expert team is here to guide you through a personalized treatment plan that delivers lasting results.

How Does Pellet Therapy Work?

Pellet therapy involves the placement of small, biodegradable pellets under the skin, typically in the hip or buttock area. These pellets contain bioidentical hormones—molecularly identical to those produced by the human body—such as estrogen or testosterone. Once inserted, the pellets release hormones gradually over several months, providing a stable hormone level and avoiding the fluctuations that can occur with other hormone delivery methods. This steady release mimics the body's natural hormone production, making it a highly effective and convenient option for long-term hormone replacement. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, requiring only a few minutes in our office. After the insertion, the pellets slowly dissolve, meaning no need for daily pills, creams, or frequent injections.

The Benefits of Pellet Therapy

Pellet therapy offers a range of benefits, making it an appealing choice for individuals seeking relief from hormone imbalances. Some of the key advantages include:

  • Consistent Hormone Levels: Unlike other hormone therapies, pellet therapy maintains stable hormone levels without the ups and downs associated with injections or oral medications.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Pellets typically last 3 to 6 months, meaning fewer visits to the clinic and more freedom in your daily life.
  • Convenient and Low Maintenance: Once inserted, the pellets work automatically, eliminating the need for daily hormone applications or frequent treatments.
  • Bioidentical Hormones: The hormones used in pellet therapy are bioidentical, meaning they are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body, leading to fewer side effects and better absorption.
  • Improved Energy and Mood: Pellet therapy helps balance your hormones, which can lead to improvements in mood, energy levels, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
  • Enhanced Libido and Sexual Function: Restoring balanced hormone levels can boost libido, sexual function, and satisfaction, which are often impacted by hormonal imbalances.
  • Support for Bone Density and Muscle Mass: For those dealing with testosterone deficiency, pellet therapy can help improve muscle mass, strength, and bone density.

The Pellet Therapy Process

The process of receiving pellet therapy is simple, quick, and minimally invasive. After a thorough consultation and hormone evaluation, your provider will administer the treatment in the following steps:

  1. Local Anesthesia: The treatment area (typically the hip or buttock) is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure.
  2. Pellet Insertion: Tiny hormone pellets are inserted just beneath the skin through a small incision. The procedure takes only a few minutes and leaves minimal scarring.
  3. Aftercare: You’ll receive instructions on how to care for the insertion site, but downtime is minimal. Most patients can return to their normal activities the same day.

After the pellets are inserted, your body will gradually absorb the hormones, providing balanced levels for several months. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and adjust your hormone levels if necessary.

What to Expect After Pellet Therapy

Results from pellet therapy can begin within a few days to a few weeks, depending on your body’s absorption rate and hormone needs. Many patients report improvements in energy, mood, libido, and mental clarity within the first few weeks.

The duration of results varies, but most individuals enjoy the benefits of pellet therapy for 3 to 6 months before a new pellet insertion is needed. Our team will work closely with you to ensure you receive the most appropriate dosage for optimal and long-lasting results.
