Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Fun Fact: Your hormones are one of the body’s most important regulatory systems!

How It Works

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHT) offers a medically guided way to restore hormone levels that have declined due to menopause, andropause, or other natural life transitions. This approach uses hormones that are structurally similar to those the body produces on its own. Treatment is designed to help bring hormones back into balance so the body can function more comfortably and efficiently. Many people pursue this therapy to support energy levels, mood stability, and overall well-being.

BioTE bioidentical hormone pellet therapy is formulated without synthetic hormones. The pellets contain plant-derived hormones that closely match the body’s natural chemistry. Because of this similarity, the body can recognize and use the hormones more easily. This approach may help reduce the likelihood of unwanted reactions while supporting a smoother treatment experience.

The BioTE pellet method uses a small implant placed just beneath the skin. Once inserted, the pellet gradually releases a steady supply of hormones over time. This slow and consistent delivery helps maintain balanced hormone levels throughout the day and night. Many patients appreciate the predictable results and the convenience of not needing daily medications

Hormone Imbalance Can Appear in Different Ways

• Trouble falling or staying asleep at night along with persistent daytime tiredness
• Difficulty concentrating, mood changes, increased anxiety, or feelings of depression
• Gradual weight increase, often noticeable around the abdominal area
• Ongoing weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite healthy eating and regular exercise
• Loss of muscle tone or strength along with muscle or joint discomfort
• Lower libido and changes in sexual function or performance

What is BioTE? BioTE Medical offers bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy designed for both men and women. Hormones play a major role in regulating many functions in the body by signaling cells and organs to perform specific tasks. As the body ages, natural hormone production may decline or become unbalanced. These changes can lead to a range of physical and emotional symptoms that affect daily life. The BioTE method of hormone replacement therapy helps restore balance and may reduce many of the effects linked to hormone imbalance.

What Makes BioTE Great? BioTE Medical is recognized as a leading provider of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, with more than one million pellet procedures performed nationwide. Each BioTE pellet is tailored to meet the unique hormonal needs of the individual patient. The pellets contain hormones that closely resemble those naturally produced by the human body. During a quick and minimally uncomfortable procedure, the pellet is placed just beneath the skin. Once inserted, it gradually dissolves and releases hormones steadily to help maintain balanced levels throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Therapy

What Should I Do Before I Schedule An Appointment?

No fasting is required in advance of the insertion.

What Should I Do Before The Insertion?

One week before the insertion, if possible, stop all NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, etc.)

What Test is Required Before the Insertion?

At a minimum, BioTE requires a comprehensive blood panel which you can discuss with the Hormone Therapy Specialist at 11:Eleven Medspa.

What Happens During The In-Office Insertion?

During the in-office visit, which only takes a few minutes, patients are brought into the exam room, and the insertion site is numbed. The most common site of insertion is the upper buttocks. A small incision is then made for pellet insertion. Once the pellet is inserted, the insertion site is covered with a small bandage.

What Happens During The Week Following The Insertion?

After pellet insertion, it’s best to eliminate lower body exercise. You can walk, but extraneous activity is not recommended. Swimming, hot tubs, and bathtubs are to be avoided; however, showers are permitted. After removal of the bandage, normal activity may resume.

How Often Is Pellet Insertion Necessary?

As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time for your symptoms to resolve.

What Happens To Pellets After Insertion?

Since the pellets are bioidentical and contain nothing more than the hormones your body naturally produces, the pellets are completely dissolved and absorbed, leaving nothing behind. If you ever decide to stop Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, your hormones will naturally return to their pre-treatment levels.
