Bioidentical Pellet Hormone Therapy

Wondering if bioidentical pellet therapy could be your hormone fix? As a Las Vegas hormone specialist, I’ve seen it transform lives—mine included! Here’s everything you need to know about this game-changing treatment.

What Is Pellet Hormone Therapy?

Hormones are your body’s messengers, and when it comes to female hormone health, we’re mainly talking about estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones (like free T3 and T4), cortisol, and insulin. Hormones control so much in your body including your mood and metabolism. For women in Las Vegas, understanding your hormones and getting them balanced is the first step to feeling and looking your best.

How Do Pellets Work & Why Are They Unique?

Pellets are bioidentical—meaning they’re identical to what your body naturally makes, not synthetic knockoffs. We use estrogen and testosterone pellets (see below), derived from natural sources like soy or yams. They’re inserted under your skin every 4-6 months and release a steady hormone dose with every heartbeat. Unlike creams or patches, there’s no daily fuss—just consistent delivery. Patients ask why I switched from gels and shots to pellets and it’s simple: pellets offer better results and easier maintenance, and the blood work backs this up.

What Are the Benefits?

Why choose pellets? Better sleep, sharper focus, boosted energy, revived libido, weight loss support, reduction in hot flashes vanish, and mood stabilization are all benefits my patients experience. But it’s not just the symptom relief, it’s whole-body balance that shows in your blood work and the way you feel and look.

Why Is It Superior To Pills & Creams?

Pellets beat the daily grind of patches, creams, or pills. You don’t have to remember to apply or time a shot. Instead it’s just one quick procedure and you’re set. They deliver hormones uniformly because as your heart pumps, they work. Creams rely on skin absorption, which can be spotty. Pellets don’t. Blood tests I’ve reviewed over years show pellets give steadier levels than lozenges or injections. Patients say, “I never felt this good on creams!”

Is It Safe?

Absolutely—bioidentical means body-friendly, and we source from organic plants, not labs full of synthetics. Tailored dosing avoids overmedication. Years of blood tests and happy patients prove it’s safe and effective when done using the approach I take.

What's In The Pellets?

These pellets are pure and simple—organic compounds like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, sourced from plants like soy or yams. We turn those into estradiol and testosterone—bioidentical hormones your body recognizes. The filler? Just stearic acid and sodium—no weird additives to worry about. It’s clean, natural, and reaction-free for most.

How Is It Customized For Each Patient?

There are no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all doses here! Your pellet’s tailored to your labs, weight, and symptoms—down to the milligram. We’ve got tons of dosage options for estrogen and testosterone. We also adjust them every 4 months if needed. Unlike one-size-fits-all pills that bloat or underdeliver, we fine-tune so you’re not over- or under-dosed. Patients say, “I needed more, and no one else saw it!” We see it—and fix it. We’re constantly evaluating where you are and adjusting them to help you feel and look your best.

How Soon Can It Start Working?

Results can hit fast. Some feel better sleep with progesterone in days. With pellets, hot flashes often fade in a week, libido perks up in weeks, and energy or mood lifts soon after. It’s not instant for everyone—some need a couple rounds to balance—but weeks, not months, is usually the norm.

Is It Painful?

I get it—anything with “under the skin” sounds scary. The worst part is the quick needle poke and slight lidocaine sting. It’s more of a tiny jab, not a cut. We use a small instrument to place that grain-sized pellet just below the surface. It requires no stitches, just a band-aid.

How Often Is Maintenance?

Low maintenance is the dream, right? After your pellet’s inserted, we check in at 6 weeks to tweak if needed. Then, it’s just once every 4-6 months for a new pellet, with annual blood work to keep tabs on your levels. Some patients only need their yearly check-in once we’ve got it dialed in.

Who Is A Good Fit?

Pellet therapy’s ideal for women feeling the pinch of hormone imbalance like hot flashes, fatigue, and low libido. If creams or pills didn’t cut it, or you hate daily upkeep, this could be perfect you. We check your blood work and history to confirm, but if you’re ready to feel like yourself again at any age and any stage, you’re a fit.
