Pellet Hormone Therapy

Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine 24 hours prior. Wear comfortable clothing, and avoid taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen if possible.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing especially around the hip/glute area where the pellets are typically placed. Otherwise, wear anything you are comfortable in!

Expect about a 20–30 minute appointment. After a short consultation, the area will be numbed and a small pellet will be inserted just under the skin. You may feel slight pressure during the procedure, but it is generally very well tolerated. Afterward, there may be mild soreness or bruising at the insertion site for a few days.

Follow all aftercare instructions from the provider, including keeping the area clean and avoiding strenuous lower body activity for a few days. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying hydrated, and keeping up with recommended lab work will help you get the best results.

Pellet therapy is typically done every 3–4 months, depending on your body and hormone levels. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your individual needs and goals.
