Your Treatment Journey

What to expect

From the moment you walk through our doors to the days and weeks following your visit, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Explore what to expect before, during, and after your treatment, including anticipated results and recommended treatment frequency—so you can feel confident, prepared, and excited for your transformation.

Before Your Treatment

Consultation and Assessment
You will have a thorough consultation to discuss your health concerns, symptoms, and goals.
Your provider will review your medical history, medications, and any existing conditions.

Lab Work
Comprehensive blood tests are performed to measure hormone levels (e.g., testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, etc.). Based on these results, your provider will determine if you are a candidate for BioTE hormone pellet therapy or another form of hormone optimization.

Personalized Treatment Plan
If BioTE is appropriate, your provider will customize a dosing plan specifically for you.
You’ll have the opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions before proceeding.

During Your Treatment

Preparation and Anesthesia
The procedure is performed in our center and takes about 15–30 minutes.
A local anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort in the area where the pellet(s) will be inserted (typically the hip or buttock).

Pellet Insertion
A small incision is made, and the pellet(s)—containing your prescribed dose of hormones—are gently placed under the skin.
The incision is then closed with sterile tape or sutures (depending on your provider’s protocol).

Minimal Discomfort
You may feel slight pressure during the procedure, but most patients find the experience tolerable.
You can usually resume normal daily activities shortly afterward, following your provider’s guidelines.

After Your Treatment

Incision Care
Keep the insertion site clean and dry for the first few days.
Follow any specific instructions about bandaging, showering, and activity restrictions (often, strenuous exercise involving the lower body is discouraged for a few days).

Possible Side Effects
Some patients experience mild swelling, bruising, or soreness at the insertion site.
Report any unusual pain or signs of infection to your provider.

Follow-Up Appointments
You may have a follow-up within a few weeks to check hormone levels and assess your response.
Additional tests or dosage adjustments may be made if needed.

Expected Results

Symptom Relief
Many patients report improvements in energy, mood, libido, and overall sense of well-being.
Relief from symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, or fatigue may become noticeable within a few weeks.

Consistent Hormone Levels
Pellet therapy delivers a steady dose of hormones, helping avoid the fluctuations sometimes seen with other methods (e.g., creams or injections).

Long-Term Benefits
Over time, balanced hormone levels can support better muscle tone, improved sleep, and potentially aid in weight management.

Results vary by individual; ongoing communication with your provider helps optimize outcomes.

Treatment Frequency

Pellet Longevity
For women, pellets often last around 3–4 months.
For men, pellets may last closer to 4–5 months.

Maintenance Schedule
Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your symptoms, hormone levels, and overall response. Regular lab testing ensures each subsequent pellet insertion maintains optimal hormone balance.

Adjustments Over Time
Hormone needs can change due to aging, stress, weight fluctuations, or other factors.
Your dosage may be updated to ensure continued symptom relief and benefits.

FAQs

What is BioTE hormone optimization, and how does it work?

BioTE hormone optimization is a method of balancing hormones using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Tiny hormone pellets, derived from natural plant sources, are inserted under the skin to release consistent levels of hormones over time, helping to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalance and improve overall well-being.

What are the benefits of BioTE hormone optimization?

BioTE can help improve energy levels, mental clarity, mood, libido, and sleep quality. It can also reduce symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hot flashes, and brain fog, while supporting long-term health benefits such as stronger bones and cardiovascular health.

Who is a good candidate for BioTE hormone optimization?

BioTE is suitable for men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, mood swings, low libido, weight changes, or difficulty sleeping. A consultation with a healthcare provider and hormone testing are necessary to determine if this treatment is right for you.

How often will I need BioTE hormone pellet insertions?

Most patients require pellet insertions every 3 to 5 months, depending on their individual hormone levels and metabolic rate. Your provider will customize your treatment plan and monitor your progress to ensure optimal results.
