How Does Bioidentical Hormone Optimization Pellet Therapy Work?
Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various functions in our bodies, from mood and energy levels to metabolism and overall well-being. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and a decrease in libido. For those looking to restore hormonal balance and improve their quality of life, bioidentical hormone optimization pellet therapy is a highly effective option. But how does this therapy work, and what can you expect from the treatment? Let’s explore.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by your body. Derived from natural sources like soy or yam, these hormones replicate estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, providing a more natural approach to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). BHRT is used to help alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as low energy, weight gain, and mood swings.
Hormone optimization through BHRT focuses on adjusting your hormone levels to their optimal state, allowing you to experience relief from symptoms and achieve improved energy, mood, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
What is Pellet Therapy?
Pellet therapy is a method of delivering bioidentical hormones through tiny, rice-sized pellets that are inserted under the skin. These pellets are customized to meet your specific needs and release a consistent, low dose of hormones directly into your bloodstream over time. This method mimics the body’s natural hormone secretion and provides a steady release of hormones, avoiding the fluctuations that can occur with other forms of hormone replacement therapy like pills, patches, or creams.
How Does Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy Work?
Consultation and Testing: The process begins with a consultation at A Younger You Aesthetics, where our qualified healthcare providers will discuss your symptoms and health history. Blood tests will be conducted to determine your current hormone levels, which is a key step in any hormone replacement therapy.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your test results and symptoms, your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan includes the precise dosage of bioidentical hormones required to optimize your levels.
Pellet Insertion: The next step is the insertion of the hormone pellets. This is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed at A Younger You Aesthetics. A small incision is made, typically in the fatty tissue of the buttocks, and the pellets are inserted under the skin. The incision is then closed with a small bandage—no stitches are required.
Steady Hormone Release: Once inserted, the pellets begin to dissolve slowly, releasing a steady stream of hormones directly into your bloodstream. This process allows your body to absorb the hormones as needed, providing consistent relief from symptoms.
Follow-Up and Monitoring: After your pellet insertion, our providers at A Younger You Aesthetics will monitor your hormone levels and symptoms to ensure that the therapy is effective. Pellets typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism and activity level. Once the pellets are absorbed, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled for re-insertion.
Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy with Pellets
Consistent Hormone Levels: Pellet therapy offers a steady release of hormones, reducing the risk of the hormonal ups and downs that can occur with other forms of hormone replacement therapy.
Convenience: With pellet therapy, there’s no need to remember daily pills or apply patches or creams. After the pellet insertion, you can go about your daily routine without any interruption.
Natural and Effective: Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones produced by your body, which may result in fewer side effects and a more natural response.
Personalized Treatment: Pellet therapy is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that you receive the right dosage to optimize your hormone levels.
