Bioidentical Hormone Replacement in Bradenton, Florida
Hormonal imbalance can cause weight gain, memory loss, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, mood changes, exhaustion, and muscle loss. Fortunately, you can rely on bioidentical hormones to restore your hormones to their optimal levels.
How Can Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Help Me?
Changes in hormones are related to the aging process, and can result in a variety of health issues. When the body’s production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) increases, it reduces the amount available for use and increases risk factors such as diabetes or heart disease.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About BioTE Treatment
On the initial visit, blood work is required to identify the precise amount of hormones necessary to treat your symptoms.
Estrogen therapy may be used to minimize or alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Testosterone therapy can be used to treat a variety of problems, including depression, mood swings, and sexual dysfunction.
During pellet insertion, you will be transported to an exam room and numbed with a local anesthetic. The usual insertion site is the upper buttock area. A tiny incision is then made to introduce the pellets. After the pellets have been placed, a tiny bandage is applied to the incision.
It is recommended to limit rigorous lower-body movements, but walking is allowed. It is also advised to avoid hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pools. Showering is acceptable. When the bandage can be removed, normal activity can resume.
Multiple factors, including gender, body mass index, level of physical activity, and hormone deficit, influence the effects of the therapy. Typically, pellets will last three to six months. Two to four sessions of pellet therapy each year will maintain optimal hormone levels.
How It Works
Our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Procedure
You will meet with one of our medical professionals in our office for your initial appointment. They will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, medications, allergies, and past treatments. They will decide if you are a good candidate for hormone pellet therapy. This procedure usually takes at least thirty minutes.
Once our medical practitioner has verified that you may be a candidate for hormone pellet therapy, they will request any necessary lab tests, such as a complete blood count, complete metabolic profile, thyroid levels, and estrogen/testosterone levels. We offer in-house laboratory services with a 24-hour turnaround for results.
After we obtain your lab results, our medical professional will calculate the appropriate dosage based on your symptoms and lab findings. The medical practitioner will examine any pre- and post-treatment instructions, as well as recommendations for follow-up laboratory tests.
Typically, pellet placement can occur on the same day as lab review. Prior to the procedure, consent forms, prescribed supplements, and follow-up lab times will be discussed. You will lay on your side throughout the treatment, and a numbing agent will be administered to make the operation relatively painless. In most cases, you will only feel a slight pinch from the anesthetic. The treatment takes around 10 to 15 minutes, and you can drive yourself home afterward.
Our team will contact you the day after the treatment to see how you are doing and if you have any concerns. Women will need follow-up lab testing in six weeks, whereas men will need it in four weeks. The treatment must be repeated every three to four months for women and every five to six months for men.
The cost of the initial consultation is $99. Pellet treatment costs $375 for women and $750 for men. Care Credit, Mastercard, Visa, and cash are all accepted. The procedure is not covered by insurance.
