Why We Use Pellet Therapy

For many of our patients, pellet therapy is the most consistent way to deliver hormone therapy. Instead of daily pills or weekly injections, a small pellet is placed under the skin and releases hormones steadily over time. Learn more on our pellet therapy for men and pellet therapy for women pages.

Research on hormone pellet therapy has shown it can provide more stable hormone levels compared to some other delivery methods, which may reduce the peaks and valleys patients sometimes feel with other forms of hormone therapy (Glaser & Dimitrakakis, 2013).

It Starts With Real Lab Work

We don’t put anyone on hormone therapy without first understanding their baseline through lab testing. Your plan is built around your numbers and your goals, not a standard protocol.
