BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy

How BioTE Works

BioTE hormone pellets are inserted just under the skin in a simple, in-office procedure. Once inserted, the pellets release a steady stream of hormones into the bloodstream, providing consistent hormone levels for several months. This method is preferred over other hormone replacement therapies because it avoids the peaks and troughs associated with pills, creams, or injections.

Benefits of BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy

1. Natural and Bioidentical: BioTE uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body, ensuring better compatibility and fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.
2. Consistent Hormone Levels: The pellet delivery system ensures a steady release of hormones, maintaining optimal levels and avoiding the fluctuations seen with other forms of hormone therapy.
3. Convenience: The pellets are inserted during a simple, in-office procedure, and they dissolve completely over time, eliminating the need for daily pills or regular injections.
4. Comprehensive Symptom Relief: BioTE HRT addresses a wide range of symptoms associated with hormone imbalances, including fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and decreased libido.

Conditions Treated with BioTE

BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy can help manage a variety of conditions related to hormonal imbalances, including:

• Menopause: BioTE can alleviate the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness, improving overall quality of life for women going through this natural transition.
• Andropause: Often referred to as male menopause, andropause is characterized by a decline in testosterone levels in men. BioTE can help alleviate symptoms such as decreased energy, muscle mass, and libido, and improve overall well-being.
• Thyroid Disorders: BioTE can support thyroid function and help manage symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings associated with thyroid imbalances.

The BioTE Procedure

The BioTE procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive. Here’s what patients can expect during their treatment at Legends Health & Wellness:

1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with a thorough consultation to assess the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and overall health. Blood tests are conducted to determine hormone levels and identify imbalances.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the initial assessment and test results, a personalized BioTE treatment plan is developed to address the specific needs of each patient.
3. Pellet Insertion: During the in-office procedure, the hormone pellets are inserted just under the skin, typically in the hip area. The procedure is quick, usually taking less than 30 minutes, and is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
4. Post-Procedure Care: After the pellet insertion, patients can return to their normal activities with minimal downtime. Our team provides detailed post-procedure care instructions to ensure optimal results.
5. Follow-Up and Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor hormone levels and assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Adjustments to the dosage or frequency of pellet insertion may be made to ensure the best possible outcomes.
