What is BioTE®?
BioTE® offers a bioidentical hormone replacement solution, enabling individuals to balance their hormone levels effectively without the need for daily medications, injections, or topical treatments. This therapy is ideal for both men and women experiencing the signs of hormone fluctuations or imbalances often associated with aging.
Understanding BioTE® Therapy
BioTE® utilizes pellet therapy, where small pellets that contain hormones are inserted under the skin. These pellets release hormones steadily into the body. The hormones used in BioTE® are bioidentical, which means they are molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally by the body, ensuring the therapy's efficacy and compatibility.
Who Benefits from BioTE®?
BioTE® is particularly advantageous for individuals experiencing the effects of hormonal imbalances due to aging. Women going through menopause may suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, primarily caused by hormonal fluctuations, including a decline in testosterone. BioTE® therapy can alleviate these symptoms effectively. Similarly, men may experience a decrease in testosterone levels with age, leading to fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and reduced muscle strength. BioTE® therapy offers a solution to help men regain their vitality and youthful energy.
The BioTE® Treatment Process
The BioTE® pellet therapy begins with a comprehensive hormone level assessment through a blood test, allowing for a personalized treatment plan. The pellets are then inserted under the skin in the upper buttocks area, which is numbed beforehand to ensure comfort. A small incision is made for pellet insertion, followed by application of a small bandage. The body naturally forms capillaries around the pellet, facilitating direct hormone delivery into the bloodstream within about 24 hours, providing consistent symptom relief. The pellet is absorbed over time, with subsequent replacements scheduled as needed based on individual requirements.
Duration of BioTE® Pellet Efficacy
The lifespan of BioTE® pellets varies, gradually dissolving and being absorbed by the body, necessitating periodic replacements for continued symptom management. The frequency of pellet replacements depends on individual factors such as symptoms, age, activity levels, and stress. Typically, women may need new pellets every 3-4 months, while men might need replacements every 4-5 months. A tailored treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation with Amanda.
