Hormone Pellet Therapy

What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?

Hormone Pellet Therapy is an advanced form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) designed to restore balance with precision and consistency. The treatment involves inserting tiny, rice-sized pellets—made of bioidentical hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces—just beneath the skin, usually in the hip area.

These pellets release a steady, continuous stream of hormones into the bloodstream, closely mimicking the body’s natural rhythm. Unlike pills, creams, or patches, this method avoids hormonal spikes and crashes, providing a more stable and effective solution for lasting balance.

The Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy

Enhanced Energy & Vitality

Many patients notice renewed energy, less fatigue, and greater productivity—leading to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Sharper Mood & Mental Clarity

Balanced hormones improve emotional stability and focus, reducing mood swings, anxiety, and brain fog.

Restful, Restorative Sleep

By supporting hormonal equilibrium, pellet therapy often improves sleep quality, helping you wake refreshed and recharged.

Healthy Libido & Sexual Function

Pellets can reignite libido and enhance sexual health, improving intimacy and confidence.

Bone Strength & Protection

Balanced hormones play a vital role in maintaining bone density, lowering the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Cardiovascular Support

Optimized hormones contribute to heart health, supporting circulation and lowering risks tied to imbalance.

Who is Hormone Pellet Therapy Right For?

Hormone Pellet Therapy may be an excellent option for both men and women experiencing the effects of hormonal shifts. It is particularly beneficial for:

Women in Perimenopause & Menopause: Alleviates hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and low energy by restoring hormonal harmony.

Men with Andropause (Low Testosterone): Helps men regain vitality, confidence, libido, and emotional stability during age-related testosterone decline.

Anyone with Hormonal Imbalances: If you experience persistent fatigue, weight fluctuations, mood changes, or low libido, pellet therapy can help uncover and correct the root cause.

Conditions Hormone Pellet Therapy Can Support

Because it targets the root of hormonal imbalance, this therapy can address:

Menopause & Perimenopause – hot flashes, mood shifts, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Andropause in Men – fatigue, depression, low testosterone, decreased performance.

Osteoporosis – protection against bone loss and fractures.

Adrenal Imbalances – stress-related fatigue, insomnia, irritability.

Sexual Dysfunction – low libido and performance concerns in men and women.

Thyroid-Related Issues – supportive role in restoring balance for thyroid-related symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pellets

What can I expect from BHRT pellet therapy?

As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Most patients report some symptom resolution in as little as two to four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.

The hormones Aven Clinic uses are custom-compounded by a specialty pharmacy that is registered with the FDA. The pellets are compliant to the FDA sterility process.

Aven Clinic uses bio-identical estradiol in the pellets, meaning that the chemical structure is the same as the hormones naturally produced in your body.

One week before the procedure, if possible, stop all NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, etc.). No fasting in advance of the procedure is required.

At a minimum, Aven Clinic requires our comprehensive hormone blood panel.

​During the in-office visit, which only takes a few minutes, patients are brought into the exam room, and the insertion site is numbed. The most common site of insertion is the upper buttocks. A small incision is then made for pellet insertion. Once the pellet is inserted, the insertion site is covered with a small bandage.

After pellet insertion, it’s best to eliminate lower body exercise. You can walk, but extraneous activity is not recommended. Swimming, hot tubs, and bathtubs are to be avoided; however, showers are permitted. After removal of the bandage, normal activity may resume.

​As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.

Since the pellets are bio-identical and contain nothing more than the hormones your body naturally produces, the pellets are completely dissolved and absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
