The Hormone Replacement Therapy Pellets (HRT) Procedure
Before undergoing a bioidentical hormone replacement procedure, patients should complete an extensive consultation with Thrive Medical Spa. This consultation involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s medical history, symptoms, and hormone levels through blood tests. Our certified practitioners discuss the potential benefits, risks, and expectations of the treatment.
During the bioidentical hormone replacement pellet procedure, the healthcare provider will clean and numb the insertion site, typically in the upper buttocks. The small incision is made, and the pellet is inserted under the skin using a special device. Our staff then closes the incision with adhesive strips or sterile tape. The procedure takes only a few minutes. Over the next few months, the pellet gradually releases hormones into the bloodstream. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor hormone levels and assess the patient’s response to treatment, allowing for adjustments if necessary.
Your Recovery and Results
After the procedure, patients may experience minor discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the insertion site, which typically subsides within a few days. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, with minimal downtime. However, strenuous exercise putting pressure on the insertion site should be avoided for a brief period to promote healing.
Over the first couple weeks, patients report improvements in symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance, such as increased energy, improved mood, better sleep, and reduced hot flashes or night sweats. For the long term, and with consistent treatment, patients enjoy sustained relief and improved quality of life. It takes up to six months to achieve proper hormone balance, and it may take a second pelleting to fully experience the effects.
