Benefits of Biote® Hormone Pellets therapy
Steady hormone delivery approach
Unlike daily medications, Biote® pellets are designed to provide steady hormone levels for 3-6 months, which may offer convenience and help maintain consistent dose delivery according to individual response.
Bioidentical hormone formulation
Biote® pellets may provide an alternative to synthetic hormones for hormone replacement therapy because they contain bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces.
Personalized treatment planning
Based on your unique lab results and consultation, each bioidentical hormone pellet is specially prepared, enabling individualized treatment that might meet your unique needs for hormonal balance.
Extended therapy duration
With bioidentical hormone pellets designed to last several months, you may experience fewer clinic visits compared to other hormone replacement therapy methods that require more frequent administration.
Wellness support approach
Biote hormone therapy may be considered for addressing various symptoms that some individuals associate with hormone imbalance, including mood swings, low energy, and concerns related to the aging process, though individual results may vary significantly.
Simple pellet insertion procedure
Most patients experience only mild discomfort at the insertion site during the quick, in-office pellet insertion procedure, which can usually be completed with local anesthesia and minimal recovery time.

How Biote® hormone pellets therapy works
Biote® hormone pellet therapy uses small, rice-sized bioidentical hormone pellets that are inserted beneath the skin during pellet insertion procedures. Your body naturally produces these bioidentical hormones, which are made to release hormones over a period of three to six months.
The pellets are custom-compounded based on your individual lab work and consultation results, allowing for individualized hormone replacement therapy approaches. Results and experiences may vary significantly among patients.
Who is a good candidate for Biote® hormone pellet therapy?
Biote® hormone pellet therapy may be considered by adults experiencing hormone imbalance who are looking into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy options. Potential candidates may include:
- ✔️ Women with menopausal symptoms. Mood swings, weight gain, low libido, and energy changes.
- ✔️ Men with low testosterone. Symptoms related to testosterone deficiency that may affect overall health and well-being.
- ✔️Adults seeking personalized treatment options. Includes those who prefer bioidentical over synthetic hormones, want less frequent dosing, or are looking for alternatives to creams, patches, or oral treatments.
All candidates will undergo a comprehensive consultation and lab work with our qualified healthcare providers to determine if bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is appropriate for their individual circumstances and health profile.

FAQ
Frequent Questions
What is Biote® hormone pellet therapy?
Small pellets placed under the skin are used in Biote® hormone pellet therapy, a type of bioidentical hormone replacement. These pellets contain hormones that are chemically similar to those your body produces naturally and are designed to provide hormone release over several months.
How long does hormone pellet therapy last?
Hormone pellet therapy typically lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your body’s metabolism, activity level, and individual needs. During that time, the pellets steadily release hormones to keep your levels balanced. When the effects begin to wear off, a quick follow-up treatment helps maintain consistent results.
Is the Biote® hormone pellet insertion procedure uncomfortable?
The pellet insertion procedure is generally well-tolerated. A local anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort, and most patients report only mild sensation during the brief in-office procedure.
How soon might I notice changes from Biote® hormone pellet therapy?
Individual responses vary considerably. Some patients report noticing changes within a few weeks, while others may observe differences over 1-2 months. Your response timeline may depend on your individual hormone needs and overall health status.
Are there side effects of Biote® hormone pellet therapy?
As with any medical treatment, side effects are possible. Temporary bruises or pain at the insertion site are possible examples. During your consultation, our medical staff will go over possible risks and factors to take into account.
How is Biote® hormone pellet therapy different from pills, patches, or creams?
Unlike daily hormone medications, Biote® pellets are designed to provide hormone release without daily dosing. This method may help avoid the hormone level fluctuations that can occur with other delivery methods.
Why are hormones important for health?
Hormones play crucial roles in many body functions, including energy levels, mood, metabolism, and overall wellness. As we age, hormone production naturally declines, which may contribute to various changes that can impact quality of life.
What happens during the pellet insertion procedure?
The procedure typically takes 15-20 minutes. After numbing the area with local anesthetic, a small incision is made, and the pellets are inserted beneath the skin. The area is then covered with a small bandage, and you’ll receive aftercare instructions.
How does Biote® compare to other hormone therapies?
Biote® uses a specific method of bioidentical hormone replacement with custom-compounded pellets based on individual hormone testing and consultation, which may offer a different approach to hormone therapy.
What is the typical cost of Biote® pellet therapy?
Depending on each patient’s unique treatment needs and hormone requirements, costs may change. During your consultation, we’ll provide detailed pricing information and discuss payment options available for your personalized treatment plan.
What other options exist besides Biote® pellets?
Alternative hormone replacement methods include oral medications, topical creams, patches, and injections. Our medical team can discuss these options during your consultation to help determine the most suitable approach for your needs.
