What is Biote Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Biote or BHRT uses bioidentical hormones, which are derived from natural plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones mimic the molecular structure of your own hormones, allowing for better absorption and fewer side effects. This therapy is administered through pellets that are inserted under the skin, releasing small, consistent amounts of hormones over time.

Hormone replacement therapy is used to treat hormonal deficiencies that often arise with age or certain medical conditions. Biote or BHRT is a proven method for balancing testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones, helping to restore vitality, improve mental clarity, enhance libido, and promote overall well-being.

How the Biote Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Program Works:

At Elegant Aesthetics Medspa, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to Biote or BHRT. Here’s how our program works:

1. Personalized Consultation

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at our Riverside, CA medspa. During this appointment, we will:

Discuss your symptoms, health history, and specific hormone-related concerns.

Perform a thorough blood test to measure your hormone levels, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones.

Review any medical conditions or medications that may affect your hormone balance.

This comprehensive approach ensures that we understand your unique needs and can create a personalized treatment plan that targets your specific deficiencies.

2. Pellet Insertion

Once your lab results are reviewed, we will recommend a Biote pellet insertion. The hormone pellets are small, rice-sized implants that are inserted just under the skin, typically in the hip or buttocks area. The procedure is minimally invasive and takes about 15-30 minutes to complete. The pellets release a steady, consistent amount of hormones over time, which helps restore balance and alleviate the symptoms of hormone deficiency.

3. Follow-Up and Monitoring

After your pellet insertion, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to assess how you’re feeling and monitor your progress. This allows us to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure optimal results. Over time, we will continue to monitor your hormone levels and health to ensure that your treatment remains effective.

How Often Do You Need Biote Hormone Pellets?

For Women: Hormone pellets generally last for 3-4 months. After this time, a follow-up visit is scheduled, and new pellets will be inserted to maintain optimal hormone levels.

For Men: Testosterone pellets typically last 4-5 months, after which you will return for a check-up and the insertion of new pellets.

Pellet therapy is convenient, requiring fewer visits compared to other forms of hormone replacement therapy like creams, injections, or oral medications. This makes it a great option for those who prefer consistent results without the need for daily maintenance.

Benefits of Biote Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy:

Sustained Energy: Restore vitality and energy levels, helping you feel more active and engaged in daily life.

Improved Mood: Balance your hormones to reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and irritability.

Enhanced Libido: Increase sexual desire and function, improving intimacy and relationships.

Better Sleep: Address symptoms of insomnia and improve your overall sleep quality.

Increased Mental Clarity: Reduce brain fog and improve focus and cognitive function.

Weight Management: With improved hormone balance, you may find it easier to lose or maintain weight.

Long-Term Health: By maintaining optimal hormone levels, you can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and other age-related conditions.

Healing and Downtime After Biote Pellet Insertion

One of the advantages of Biote Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy is that it requires minimal downtime and recovery. Here’s what you can expect:

Immediately After the Procedure:

The pellet insertion is a minimally invasive procedure, and most patients experience only mild discomfort. You may feel a small pinch or pressure when the pellets are inserted, but the process typically takes no more than 15-30 minutes. There is no need for stitches, and most people can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

Aftercare Instructions:

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid vigorous exercise or activities that may put excessive strain on the insertion area (e.g., heavy lifting or strenuous cardio). The small incision where the pellet is inserted may be tender, bruised, or swollen for a few days. You can apply an ice pack to reduce swelling. Make sure to keep the insertion site clean and dry until it fully heals, which typically takes 3-5 days.
