OUR PROCESS

How the Treatment Works

Step 01: Consultation and Hormone Testing

Your first visit includes a consultation to review your symptoms, health history, and goals, along with blood tests to assess your hormone levels and determine if pellet therapy is right for you.

Step 02: Personalised Hormone Plan

After reviewing your lab results, the doctor creates a personalized treatment plan based on your body’s specific hormone needs, helping ensure the right and precise dosage for safe and effective pellet therapy.

Step 03: HRT Pellet Insertion

During a quick in-office procedure, the doctor performs HRT pellet insertion by placing a small bioidentical hormone pellet just beneath the skin using a local numbing agent. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is designed to be simple and comfortable.

Step 04: Continuous Hormone Support

After insertion, the pellet gradually releases hormones into the bloodstream over time. Most patients return every 4–6 months for follow-up treatment to maintain consistent hormone levels and ongoing symptom relief.

How Hormone Replacement Supports Women Through Menopause​

Hormone replacement therapy for women is most commonly used to help manage the transition through perimenopause and menopause. This type of treatment is often referred to as menopausal hormone therapy, and it focuses on restoring balanced hormone levels as estrogen and progesterone decline. These hormonal changes can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and reduced libido. Many women also experience more persistent issues such as brain fog, fatigue, and changes in skin, metabolism, or bone health as hormone levels continue to shift.

Women considering hormone replacement therapy often discuss potential risks and benefits with their doctor, including how treatment may relate to conditions such as breast cancer, cardiovascular health, and overall hormone balance.

Pellet hormone therapy, sometimes referred to as hormone pellet therapy, offers one approach to hormone replacement by helping restore balanced hormone levels in the body. Through the use of small bioidentical hormone pellets, this treatment provides a steady release of hormones into the bloodstream, which may help reduce hormone imbalance symptoms women commonly experience during menopause and after menopause.

By addressing the underlying hormonal imbalance rather than simply masking symptoms, pellet therapy for women may help support improvements in energy levels, emotional well-being, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. Because every woman’s hormonal profile is unique, treatment should be guided by careful evaluation of symptoms and hormone testing. This personalised approach allows clinicians to develop treatment plans that support long-term hormone balance and wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bioidentical hormones are plant-based hormones that have the same chemical structure as the natural hormones produced by the body. At Thera P, custom hormone pellets are created based on each patient’s individual hormone levels and treatment 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) 519-6586. We can help you determine if pellets are right for you.

The HRT pellet insertion procedure is simple and typically takes only a few minutes. After applying a local numbing agent, the doctor inserts a small hormone pellet beneath the skin in the upper buttocks through a tiny incision. The area is then closed with a steri-strip. You can return to your everyday life immediately after the pellet is inserted.

This form of pellet hormone therapy allows hormones to be released gradually into the bloodstream, helping maintain stable hormone levels without the need for daily medication.

Hormone pellets typically last 4 to 6 months. Because pellet therapy provides a slow and consistent release of hormones, patients generally return every few months to maintain balanced hormone levels and continued symptom relief.

Coverage may vary depending on the patient’s insurance plan. Some aspects of testing or consultation may be partially covered. Call (954) 519-6586 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. Learn more about the differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones.

Many patients begin noticing improvements within 2–7 days after treatment, although full benefits may develop over several weeks as hormone levels stabilise. Most patients experience peak results within the first month following treatment.

Pellet therapy offers several advantages compared to other forms of hormone replacement therapy:

  • 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.
