Hormonal imbalance can significantly affect your energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and overall quality of life. At BodyFix Medical in St. George, UT, we offer hormone pellet therapy as a convenient and effective solution for restoring hormonal balance in both men and women.
Hormone pellets provide a steady release of bioidentical hormones over time, helping avoid the fluctuations commonly seen with creams, pills, or injections. This allows patients to experience more stable hormone levels and long-term symptom relief.
Hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement where tiny pellets containing hormones are inserted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttock area.
These pellets gradually release hormones into the bloodstream in a consistent and controlled manner, closely mimicking the body’s natural hormone production.
This method is widely used for patients seeking a long-term, low-maintenance solution for hormone optimization.
Hormone pellets are customized based on your individual hormone levels, symptoms, and lab results.
During a simple in-office procedure, the pellets are inserted under the skin using a local anesthetic. Once placed, they slowly dissolve over several months, continuously releasing hormones.
