BioTe Provider Hormone Pellet Therapy Naples, FL

BioTe hormone pellet therapy is a form of hormone replacement therapy that involves the insertion of small pellets containing bioidentical hormones under the skin. The hormones used in BioTe therapy are derived from natural plant sources and are designed to mimic the hormones naturally produced in the body.

BioTe hormone pellet therapy is often used to treat symptoms of hormone imbalances in both men and women, including menopause, andropause (male menopause), low libido, fatigue, and mood swings.

The pellets are typically inserted under the skin of the hip area during a quick, in-office procedure. The placement of the pellets can be done using a small incision and local anesthesia.

The duration of BioTe hormone pellet therapy varies depending on the individual and the dosage administered. Typically, hormone pellets last between three and six months before they need to be replaced.

Benefits of BioTe hormone pellet therapy may include improved energy, mood, and cognitive function, increased muscle mass and strength, and reduced symptoms of menopause or andropause.

The risks associated with BioTe hormone pellet therapy include infection at the site of insertion, bleeding, and allergic reactions to the hormone. There is also a potential risk for developing breast cancer or other cancers associated with hormone use. Naples-based Dr. B will discuss all potential risks and benefits when planning treatment options with her patients.
