Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormone pellet therapy offers eligible patients a convenient way to receive prescribed hormone replacement over time. At Above & Beyond, pellet therapy is considered as part of your individualized hormone treatment pla, not as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Why Patients Choose Pellet Therapy
Consistent Hormone Delivery, Without Daily Dosing
Hormone pellets are small implants placed beneath the skin that gradually release prescribed hormones over time. For appropriate patients, this can offer a convenient alternative to hormone replacement methods that require more frequent dosing. Your provider will evaluate your hormone health and discuss whether pellet therapy makes sense based on your needs, preferences, and overall treatment plan.
For patients who are a good fit, hormone pellets offer a longer-lasting and convenient approach to hormone replacement therapy without the need to remember a daily pill, cream, or injection. Treatment is personalized based on your individual evaluation and hormone needs, with ongoing follow-up to monitor how you’re responding and guide future care.
Personalized Hormone Care, From the Start
At Above & Beyond, pellet therapy isn’t treated as a one-size-fits-all solution. Our approach begins with understanding how you’re feeling, reviewing your health and hormone needs, and determining whether pellets are the right delivery method for you. If treatment is appropriate, your provider will personalize your plan and continue to monitor your response over time—so your care is guided by your body, your goals, and how you’re actually doing.
What to Expect: Pellet Therapy
Evaluation
Before pellet therapy, your provider evaluates your hormone health and determines whether you’re an appropriate candidate.
Personalized Treatment
If pellets are recommended, your treatment is selected based on your individual needs and prescribed hormone plan.
Pellet Insertion
The small pellets are placed beneath the skin during an in-office procedure. You’ll receive instructions for caring for the insertion area afterward.

Hormone care that fits your life.
Pellet therapy is one option within hormone replacement therapy. Our team can help you understand how it compares with other approaches and determine whether its longer-lasting delivery method is a good fit for you.
Common Questions About Pellet Therapy:
Where are hormone pellets placed?
Pellets are inserted beneath the skin through a small incision during an in-office procedure. Your provider will explain the placement and aftercare before treatment.
How long do hormone pellets last?
The length of time can vary based on the specific treatment and individual patient. Your provider will establish an appropriate follow-up schedule based on your response and treatment plan.
Can I feel the pellet after it's inserted?
You may notice the insertion area initially, but your provider can explain what is normal during healing and when to contact the office if you have concerns.
Is there downtime after pellet insertion?
Your provider may recommend temporarily limiting certain activities while the insertion site heals. You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions at your appointment.
Are pellets better than other forms of HRT?
Not necessarily. Convenience and longer-lasting delivery may make pellets appealing for some patients, while another method may be preferable for others. Your provider can help you compare your options.
Can my pellet dose be adjusted after insertion?
Unlike some hormone delivery methods that can be changed or discontinued more readily, an implanted pellet continues releasing its contents after placement. This is one reason appropriate evaluation and individualized prescribing before insertion are important.
