Hormone pellet therapy in Winter Garden, FL
Pellets are tiny, rice-sized implants of bioidentical testosterone or estrogen placed just under the skin. They release hormone steadily for months, so there's nothing to remember daily and no peaks and valleys.
How pellet therapy works
After numbing a small area (usually the upper buttock or hip), the pellets are inserted through a tiny incision in a procedure that takes only a few minutes. They dissolve gradually, delivering a consistent dose.
How long pellets last
- Testosterone pellets for men typically last five to six months
- Testosterone and estrogen pellets for women typically last three to five months
- Timing varies with metabolism and activity level; we recheck labs to plan your next insertion
Who chooses pellets
- Patients who prefer not to inject or apply a cream daily or weekly
- Those who want steady levels without remembering doses
- Men and women whose labs and symptoms indicate a need for testosterone or estrogen therapy
Good to know
Pellets are one delivery option among several; if your symptoms and labs indicate a need for a specific hormone therapy, you can choose the method that works best for you. Because pellets can't be removed once placed, we typically confirm your response to therapy first. Minor bruising or tenderness at the site is common for a few days.
Hormone Pellet Therapy FAQ
Does the insertion hurt?
The area is numbed first; most patients describe pressure rather than pain, and the whole visit is short.
What if my dose is too high or too low?
That's why we start with labs and, in many cases, another delivery method first. Once your ideal dose is known, pellets deliver it consistently.
Can I exercise afterward?
We ask you to avoid strenuous lower-body exercise and soaking (pools, tubs) for a few days while the small incision heals.
