What to Expect from BHRT Pellet Therapy

If you have been feeling tired, foggy, irritable, or just not like yourself, your hormones may be part of the story. As we age, natural shifts in hormones like estrogen and testosterone can quietly affect energy, mood, sleep, focus, and libido — for both women and men. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is one way to address those changes, and pellet therapy is among the most convenient forms.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical means the hormones are structurally identical to the ones your body makes. BHRT aims to restore hormones toward a balanced range to relieve symptoms associated with hormone decline. At Lumina Medspa & Wellness, we use PurePell® bioidentical hormone pellets under physician supervision.

How do hormone pellets work?

A pellet is a tiny, rice-sized insert placed just under the skin during a quick in-office visit. Once placed, it releases a steady, low dose of hormones over several months. Because the release is consistent, many patients prefer pellets to methods that can cause the ups and downs of more frequent dosing.

Signs hormone optimization may help

• Persistent fatigue or low energy
• Low libido
• Hot flashes or night sweats
• Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
• Trouble concentrating or brain fog

Frequently asked questions

How long do hormone pellets last? It varies by patient, but pellets typically release hormones over several months before reabsorbing, after which they are replaced.

Is the insertion painful? The area is numbed first, and most patients describe only minor pressure during the brief procedure.

Is BHRT only for women? No. Men experiencing low energy, low libido, or focus changes related to declining testosterone may also be candidates.
