What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Pellet therapy using bioidentical hormones is one of the best ways to restore healthy hormone levels in both men and women. Dr. Kaye is an expert in the use of these pellets for hormone replacement. Dr. Kaye has performed thousands of implant procedures successfully at his office in Lynnfield, MA.
How Does Hormone Pellet Therapy Work?
Tiny pellets of pure testosterone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, or other medicines such as anastrozole or finasteride are inserted under the skin by the physician. The procedure is quick, painless, and very cost- effective. The pellets last about 4 months and dissolve completely.
What are the benefits of Hormone Pellets?
- Pellets are easy and painless to insert
- Pellets are convenient for the patient
- New pellets are installed every 3-6 months
- Hormone levels monitored with blood testing
- Pellets mimic the natural daily rise and fall of hormones in the body
- Hormone levels are steady and predictable, so you feel “normal and healthy”
- Pellets boost energy, mood, libido, muscle strength, bone density, brain function
- Pellets are very cost effective for men and women
Hormone pellets are an ideal solution for BHRT since the blood levels are consistent and physiologic (meaning normal for the body). The blood levels are easily followed with standard blood tests, avoiding costly and difficult to perform saliva testing. The body responds best to steady, normal levels of hormones. Creams and injections also work, but pellets provide the best alternative to your natural production of hormones. In terms of convenience, pellets are the winner. Creams can wash off and have to be reapplied and injectable hormones can be painful. Both creams and injectable hormones can be lost or forgotten when traveling. Pellets are a "set it and forget it" method of hormone restoration. We monitor levels of the implanted hormones and their metabolites in both men and women as well as PSA and hematocrit in men to ensure safe and optimal dosing.
Who is a good Pellet Therapy Candidate?
Ideal candidates for pellet therapy are menopausal women, women who are having menopausal symptoms, women who have had a hysterectomy and require hormone replacement, women with migraine headaches, and men of any age with low testosterone.
A testosterone and an estradiol pellet are smaller than a dime but last 4-5 months!
Why should I choose Dr. Kaye for my pellet therapy?
- Optimal Wellness MD and Dr. Kaye takes a “whole-person” approach to your health, so we can manage your other health needs such as nutrition, weight-loss, as well as hormonal deficiencies.
- Dr. Kaye has more experience in pellet therapy than any other provider in the New England area
- Kaye is board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Integrative and Anti-Aging Medicine and is therefore well-qualified to manage your symptoms, understand your test results, and advise you on proper management of your health issues
- Pellets at Optimal Wellness MD are reasonably priced, without expensive “membership fees” or monthly-fees charged by other practices. We only charge for our office visits and the cost of the pellets, making this an economical HRT option for most people.
- Pellets are sourced only from FDA-inspected pharmacies, so no risk of contamination or wrong dosing
It is very important to have pellets inserted by a physician who is both skilled in the pellet procedure but also in the nuances of hormone metabolism to ensure correct dosing and to avoid unpleasant or dangerous side effects. You will get much better results from a holistic and board-certified physician such as Dr. Kaye who not only inserts pellets skillfully but also attends to your nutrition, detoxification, hormone balance and treatment of all your medical issues. There are many clinics now advertising pellet services, but a one-size fits all approach from a clinic that just inserts pellets is not the best answer. Not only are those "pellet-mills" more expensive, your results will be much improved if you choose a physician who can create an individualized hormone pellet program for you and combines it with a complete wellness program.
