Our Pellet Therapy approach
(Subcutaneous Bioidentical Hormone Replacement)
Gynecology Specialists offers an in-office treatment called Pellet Therapy, a hormone therapy where hormones, testosterone and/or estrogen are inserted under the skin instead of using pills, patches, creams or injections.
Dr. Zenette Leao has earned Certification from BioTE Medical in this type of hormone treatment and offers it to our patients.
Hormone Imbalance in Women
Hormone imbalance in women often occurs without them knowing why. The symptoms can range from subtle to debilitating. Often the symptoms are masked with different prescription pills prescribed for anxiety, depression, insomnia, weight gain, and more.
To know what you are really suffering from requires a testing of your hormone levels. If it’s not your hormones, then we can rule that out. If it is a hormone imbalance issue, we can treat you with Pellet Therapy to rebalance your hormones and get you back to your happy life!
Why we've added Bio-identical Hormone Pellet Therapy in addition to other approaches
- Pellets are very small and can be inserted in a few minutes and are virtually painless
- Pellets are custom compounded for your exact hormonal imbalance
- Pellets keep hormone levels consistent throughout the day and avoid rollercoaster-like effects from orally administered or topically administered hormones
- Pellets are plant based, contain bio-identical hormones, and use NO synthetic hormones
- Pellets last 3-6 months
