What is Hormone Pellet Therapy In Jacksonville Florida?
One of the best sources of natural hormone therapy (also referred to as hormone replacement, HRT, bioidentical hormones, and hormone pellet therapy) is with bio-identical testosterone pellets. The pellets are made up of natural testosterone and are pressed into very small, solid cylinders by a compounding pharmacist.
Hormone Pellets are about the size of a grain of rice. Testosterone pellets have been used in both men and women in the United States since the late 1930’s, and the 75 mg testosterone pellet was FDA approved in the 1970’s.
Testosterone pellets are one of the best ways to replace testosterone naturally in your body
Testosterone pellets do require a prescription from a qualified physician (preferably one who specializes on hormone therapy) and are administered by a physician in a simple, fast procedure. They are primarily used for testosterone deficiency in both men and women who are unable to make sufficient amounts of testosterone in their body due to menopause, andropause, chronic diseases, injury or other unspecified causes.
Multiple studies support that hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is the most effective and natural way for both men and women
The pellets are made by a compounding pharmacist under sterile procedure and are placed in sterile vials or ampules. These can be sterilized by different methods. Dr Anthony Capasso MD, founder of Thin MD MedSpa in Jacksonville and Jax Beach Florida suggests not using pellets that are sterilized with “iodine” since this may cause a reaction or rejection in the body after it is inserted.
A quick 10 minute appointment is all that’s needed for Dr Capasso to perform this zero-pain procedure.
The pellets are placed into the fat area of your upper buttock/hip region. Your physician will clean the skin with a topical antibacterial scrub, then numb the area on your hip with a local anesthetic like lidocaine. Then the pellet is inserted into the fatty layer. The pellets will completely dissolve over the next 3 to 6 months depending on the number of pellets placed and how quickly your body breaks them down.
How Do Testosterone Pellets Work
Testosterone pellets work by releasing a constant supply of testosterone into your body. Your body will form blood vessels over the pellets to allow the hormone to get into your bloodstream at a slow, consistent rate. If you are more active, your body may require more testosterone and the pellets will get absorbed more quickly.
The testosterone pellets mimics what your ovaries or testes would do in your body, allowing your body to get testosterone at a consistent level. This is the most natural way to deliver testosterone to your body, avoiding the fluctuations that can make you feel unbalanced, commonly seen in other methods of delivery.
Does Testosterone Replacement Work For Women
In women, testosterone pellets deliver healthy levels of hormones for 3-4 months (as opposed to 4-5 months for men). Studies have shown that testosterone hormone pellet therapy is superior to conventional hormone replacement for relief of menopausal symptoms; improving restorative sleep, maintaining bone density, and improving sex drive response and performance!
