Frequently Asked Questions
Bio-identical hormones are plant-based hormones that are the same as the natural hormones produced by your body. Thera P makes custom hormone pellets that are tailored to each patient’s needs.
Hormones are important for good health, energy, youthfulness, libido, sleep, strength, and overall wellness. As we age, our natural hormone production decreases, which can cause imbalances that can negatively impact our quality of life.
Symptoms such as hair loss, hot flashes, low energy, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, irritability, mood swings, and dry skin can affect not only the woman experiencing them, but also those around her, such as family and friends. Thera P’s hormone pellets are meant to balance your hormones. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact us at (954) 384-8668. We can help you determine if pellets are right for you.
The insertion of pellets is a simple, painless procedure done with a local numbing agent. The pellets are inserted in the upper buttocks through a tiny incision which is closed up with a steri-strip. The entire procedure takes about 2 minutes. You can return to your everyday life immediately after the pellet is inserted.
4 to 6 months. You can continue to resupply as needed to maintain a consistent flow of uninterrupted hormones.
Partially. Call (954) 384-8668 to find out how much you can save on your treatment with insurance.
Yes, you will need to get blood work done before treatment. We calculate the dosing of your bio-identical pellets based on your history, age, weight, and blood work. We continue to monitor your blood levels throughout the lifecycle of your pellet treatments and pride ourselves on understanding your body so we can give you the precise compound it needs.
Bio-identical hormones have an identical chemical structure to those produced by the body. Synthetic hormones do not have a chemical structure that is identical to a person’s natural hormones.
Most patients begin to feel the effects and experience benefits within 2-7 days following the procedure. Peak effects are generally felt within a month and can be maintained as long as the patient resupplies as needed, generally every 4-6 months.
- Continuous availability of hormones 24/7.
- Your body controls the release of the hormone. You absorb more hormone during stressful times and exercise and you absorb less hormone when you are at rest.
- The hormones are absorbed directly into the bloodstream avoiding the liver and gastrointestinal system.
- Convenience – the pellets last 4-6 months.
- You don’t have to apply gels or creams daily or give yourself injections.
- Helps increase bone density.
- This method is shown to be best for mental clarity and sexual function.
