Hormone pellets are small, rice-sized bioidentical hormone implants placed just under the skin of the upper hip during a quick in-office procedure. They release estrogen and/or testosterone slowly and consistently, avoiding the peaks and crashes of pills, patches, or creams.
Hot flashes and night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido, fatigue, poor sleep, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain, brain fog, loss of muscle tone, and joint aches associated with perimenopause and menopause.
Every patient starts with a discovery call and comprehensive lab testing (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol). Your provider designs a personalized pellet dose based on your lab values, symptoms, and goals.
Insertion takes about 10 minutes. The area is numbed, a small incision is made near the hip, and pellets are placed under the skin. Most patients return to normal activity within 24–48 hours (avoiding vigorous lower-body exercise for 3–5 days).
Female pellets typically last 3–5 months. Symptom improvement is usually noticeable within 2–4 weeks, with full benefits by 6–8 weeks. Follow-up labs are drawn before re-insertion to fine-tune dosing.
Pellets are one delivery method within our broader bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) program. If you are searching for BHRT Charlotte NC or hormone replacement therapy Charlotte NC, our providers also offer creams, oral progesterone, and injections when pellets are not the right fit.
Every plan is built by a hormone doctor in Charlotte, NC who reviews your full panel with you rather than dosing from symptoms alone.
