The pellets are placed under the skin during a quick, in-office procedure.
4. Continuous Release
The pellets slowly dissolve, releasing consistent hormone levels for 3-6 months.
Consistent Relief

Your journey to menopause relief is simple and straightforward.
What Our
Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional hormone therapy comes in various formats (creams, tablets, patches) that require daily or weekly application. Biote uses pellet technology that’s inserted under the skin to release a steady dose of hormones over 3-6 months, eliminating daily administration. Both use bioidentical hormones, but the delivery method and convenience factor are different.
The best delivery method depends on your symptoms, lifestyle preferences, and medical history. Some women prefer the flexibility of creams or tablets, while others prefer the convenience of patches or Biote pellets. During your consultation, our providers will help determine the optimal method for your specific needs and preferences.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to both estrogen and testosterone. During menopause, DHEA levels can decline. Supplementation may help improve energy, mood, sexual function, and overall wellbeing. Our providers can determine if DHEA would benefit your unique hormone profile.
Bioidentical hormone therapy, when properly prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider, is considered safe for most women. We conduct thorough evaluations and regular follow-ups to ensure safety and effectiveness. Each treatment plan is individualized based on your specific health profile.
Many women report feeling improvements within the first 2-4 weeks of starting treatment. Some symptoms like hot flashes may improve quickly, while others like sleep quality and mood may take a bit longer. Full benefits are typically experienced within 3 months, regardless of delivery method.
Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. Many traditional hormone treatments (creams, tablets, patches) are covered by insurance, though Biote pellet therapy is often not fully covered. Our team will help you understand costs and payment options before beginning treatment.
