Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy
At North Scottsdale Women’s Health, we offer bioidentical hormone pellets for management of menopausal symptoms.
Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy
With this method, small pellets are placed beneath the skin to provide a steady reservoir of hormones that slowly diffuse into the bloodstream. This approach most closely mimics the body’s natural hormone production, providing consistent, reliable benefits with minimal fluctuation. This slow release of hormone includes estrogen and testosterone which provides relief of symptoms for 3-6 months based upon blood levels.
The procedure is simple and quick. After numbing the skin, hormone pellets are inserted into the fatty tissue of the upper hip area through a tiny incision, closed with only a steri-strip and heals in a couple of days.
