Biote hormone REPLACEMENT

BioTe Hormone Pellet Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for hormone imbalances without the harmful side effects. Hormone therapy has been proven to reduce the risk of breast cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Make an appointment with us for a simple blood test to determine if you are a candidate for pellet therapy. At Southern Skin City Medical Spa & Wellness our Medical Provider designs individualized treatment plans to replace hormones according to the hormone levels indicated in specific bloodwork, along with the client’s symptoms.

What Is BioTE Medical's Method of Pellet Therapy?

Pellets are tiny, custom-compounded therapies for symptoms that stem from hormonal imbalances. The BioTE method may help keep patient’s hormone levels consistent throughout the day. The pellet therapy that BioTE trains on uses hormones that are bioidentical to those found in the human body.

Using our subcutaneous pellet approach to bioidentical hormone therapy, some patients report feeling symptom relief in as little as seven to 10 days, but complete symptom relief may take six months.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is the use of hormones made from plant-based sources to identically match human hormones. The most common used hormones for BHRT are testosterone, a form of estrogen, and progesterone. Testosterone is used in both men and women.

Bloodwork is required before insertion, and six weeks later to determine your dosing, then annually thereafter.

The pellets are made from yams. Yams have the highest concentration of hormones. They are all natural and bio-identical, meaning they are the exact replication of what the body makes. There are no allergens associated with yams.

Bio-identical hormone pellets las 3-4 month for women and 5-6 months for men. The absorption rate is based on cardiac output.

The small hormone pellets are typically placed in the hip under a mild, local anesthetic. The procedure takes less than give minutes.

Side effects for women and men are rare. In women, transient breast tenderness lasting 7-10 days may occur with first insertion. There may be some hair regrowth or acne in moderation from occurrences from testosterone therapy. Men side effects may include deceased sperm count, decreased testicular mass and possible prostate enlargement. These side effects occur much more frequency with the use of synthetic hormone replacement therapy.

If you are already on hormone creams, patches, or injections the transition is easy. Alisha Cannon Arena, FNP-C will customize a treatment plan to convert from your current method of hormone replacement to the bio-identical pellet therapy.
