What Is Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) designed to restore hormonal balance in both men and women. Tiny pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—are inserted beneath the skin, typically in the hip or buttock area, where they release a steady stream of hormones over several months. Unlike traditional hormone therapies (pills, patches, or creams), pellet therapy provides consistent dosing without daily upkeep, making it a preferred choice for those seeking long-term relief from hormonal imbalances.

These pellets contain bioidentical hormones, meaning they are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. Sourced from plants, they are a natural alternative to synthetic hormones.

How Does Pellet Therapy Work?

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and performed in-office:

Consultation

A healthcare provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels via blood tests to determine the optimal dosage.

Insertion

Under local anesthesia, the pellets are placed just beneath the skin through a small incision, which heals without stitches.

Release

The pellets dissolve gradually, releasing hormones like estrogen or testosterone over 3–6 months, depending on individual needs.

Because the hormones are delivered directly into the bloodstream, pellet therapy avoids the peaks and troughs associated with oral or topical treatments, ensuring stable levels for smoother symptom relief.

Benefits of Pellet Therapy

Pellet therapy offers a range of benefits, particularly for those experiencing menopause, andropause, or age-related hormonal decline:

Reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

For residents in Beverly Hills seeking anti-aging solutions, pellet therapy provides a discreet, long-lasting option to rejuvenate vitality.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Pellet therapy is ideal for:

Candidates should undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure the treatment aligns with their health goals.
