What is hormone pellet therapy?

Hormone pellet therapy uses small, rice-sized pellets made from bioidentical hormones (typically testosterone and/or estradiol) that are inserted just beneath the skin — usually in the hip or buttock area. The pellets dissolve naturally over 3–6 months, releasing a consistent, steady dose of hormones that mirrors your body's natural rhythm.

How is the pellet insertion procedure done?

The procedure is quick — typically 10–15 minutes. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, your provider makes a tiny incision (about the size of a pencil tip) and inserts the pellet just beneath the skin. The incision is closed with a small piece of tape. Most patients feel little to no discomfort and return to normal activities the same day.

When will I start feeling results?

Many patients notice improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within 2–4 weeks. Full optimization — including improvements in libido, body composition, and cognitive clarity — typically occurs by 4–8 weeks and continues to improve with subsequent pellet cycles as your provider fine-tunes your dosing.

How long do the pellets last?

Pellets typically last 3–4 months for women and 4–6 months for men. The duration depends on factors like activity level, stress, and individual metabolism. Your provider will monitor your hormone levels with lab work to determine the ideal timing for your next insertion.

What symptoms does pellet therapy treat?

Pellet therapy is used to address symptoms of hormone deficiency, including:

Fatigue and low energy
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Low libido and sexual dysfunction
Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
Hot flashes and night sweats (women)
Muscle loss and joint pain
Poor sleep quality

Are there any activity restrictions after insertion?

Yes, for the first 5–7 days after your pellet insertion, you should avoid: submerging the insertion site in water (baths, pools, hot tubs), lower-body high-impact exercise (running, cycling, squats), and wearing tight clothing over the site. Walking and light activity are typically fine. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions at your visit.

Is pellet therapy available via telemedicine?

The consultation, lab review, and follow-up for pellet therapy can be done via telemedicine through Perrenia Wellness. However, the pellet insertion procedure itself requires an in-office visit. If you are not local to Shallotte, NC, we partner with Purepell to connect you with a qualified provider in your area. Telemedicine is available in 48 states + Washington, D.C. (not available in Alabama or Mississippi).

How much does hormone pellet therapy cost?

Cost varies based on your hormone needs, dosage, and location. At Perrenia Wellness, we will provide transparent pricing during your consultation. Most patients find pellet therapy to be cost-comparable to other BHRT modalities when factoring in convenience and consistency. Lab work (required before each insertion) typically ranges from $74–$124. Contact us or schedule a free discovery session for specific pricing.

How do I get started?

Getting started is easy. Book a free 15-minute discovery session with the Perrenia Wellness clinical team — by phone, online, or in person. We'll review your symptoms, health history, and goals, then order labs if you're a good candidate. Once your results are in, we'll build your personalized pellet therapy plan and schedule your insertion.
