HRT Pellet Therapy

Do you feel like a "fog" has settled over your daily life? Are you struggling with persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain, or a lack of motivation that coffee just can’t fix? For many men and women in Houston, these aren’t just signs of "getting older", they are often the result of a hormonal imbalance.

At Skin Shop MedSpa, led by Dr. Tiffany Su, we specialize in restoring your vitality through Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) using Pellet Therapy. This advanced, plant-derived treatment mimics your body’s natural hormone production to help you feel like yourself again.

What is HRT Pellet Therapy?

HRT Pellet Therapy is a highly effective delivery method for bioidentical hormones. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the ones your body naturally produces.

The "pellets" are roughly the size of a grain of rice and are inserted just beneath the skin (usually in the hip area). Once placed, they release a consistent, steady dose of hormones (typically estrogen or testosterone) directly into the bloodstream 24/7.

Why Choose Pellets Over Creams or Pills?

• No "Rollercoaster" Effect: Creams and pills can cause hormone levels to spike and drop. Pellets provide a steady flow, eliminating the mood swings and energy crashes associated with other methods.
• Set It and Forget It: You only need a simple insertion every 3 to 6 months. No daily pills to remember or messy creams to apply.
• Direct Absorption: By bypassing the liver and digestive system, pellets allow for better absorption and fewer side effects.

Benefits of Hormone Pellets for Men and Women

Hormonal decline can start as early as your 30s. Whether you are navigating menopause, andropause (low-T), or general hormonal depletion, HRT pellet therapy at Skin Shop MedSpa can help:

• Increase Energy & Stamina: Combat chronic fatigue and regain your "get-up-and-go."
• Mental Clarity: Clear the "brain fog" and improve your focus and memory.
• Weight Management: Balance the hormones that regulate metabolism and stubborn midsection fat.
• Enhanced Libido: Restore sexual desire and improve overall sexual wellness.
• Mood Stabilization: Reduce irritability, anxiety, and feelings of depression.
• Better Sleep: Say goodbye to night sweats and insomnia for a more restful night.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does HRT pellet therapy last?

Generally, pellets last between 3 to 5 months for women and 4 to 6 months for men. Your body’s activity level and metabolism will determine how quickly the pellet dissolves.

Is pellet therapy safe?

Yes. Bioidentical hormones have been used for decades. Because they are plant-derived and identical to human hormones, they are generally better tolerated than synthetic alternatives.

How soon will I feel the results?

Most patients report feeling a difference in their energy and mood within 1 to 2 weeks, with full optimization occurring around the 4-week mark.
