Overview
Consistent Relief. Customized Care. Lasting Balance.
At Rhett Women’s Center, we believe Pellet Therapy is the most effective and convenient method for delivering estrogen and testosterone as part of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
Pellets provide steady, physiologic hormone levels, without the daily hassle of pills or creams and without the hormone fluctuations those methods can cause.
What Are Pellets?
Pellets are tiny, rice-sized implants made from bioidentical hormones, compounded to match your body’s natural chemistry. Once inserted under the skin in a quick, in-office procedure using local anesthesia, the pellet steadily releases customized doses of estrogen and/or testosterone over a 3–4 month period for women and up to 6 months for men.
Proven Benefits
Pellet therapy has been used safely and effectively since 1938, and over 70 years of research shows its superiority over oral or topical hormone methods. Benefits include:
Energy, Mood & Sleep
Improved energy, mood, and sleep.
Symptom Relief
Reduction of hot flashes, night sweats, and migraines.
Libido & Urinary Support
Increased libido and support for urinary symptoms.
Strength & Bone Health
Improved muscle mass, bone density, and weight stability.
Metabolic Health
Better control of cholesterol and blood sugar.
Memory & Focus
Enhanced memory, focus, and overall cognitive function.
Because pellets bypass the liver, they do not negatively affect clotting factors, blood pressure, or liver function.
Your Pellet Therapy Journey
Tailored to You
There is no one-size-fits-all in hormone therapy. Each pellet dose is based on comprehensive lab work and continuously monitored throughout your treatment. All RWC providers are thoroughly trained in hormone management and pellet implantation, and our pricing remains among the most affordable in the area.
What to Expect
Pellet placement is a simple outpatient procedure performed in the lower abdomen or upper buttock. Most patients don’t feel the pellet once it’s placed. Some may experience mild bruising, but side effects are rare. The pellets fully dissolve over time and do not need to be removed.
Feeling Better
Many patients begin feeling better within a few days to two weeks, with optimal symptom relief typically achieved by 2–3 months.
