How Does the Pellet Insertion Process Work?
The procedure is straightforward in our Vero Beach office, typically in under 15 minutes. Here’s a step-by-step overview:
- Preparation: We review your recent lab results to customize the hormone blend and dosage.
- Insertion: Using local numbing (like a quick pinch), a small incision is made near the hip or buttocks. A simple tool called a trocar places the pellets just under the skin—no stitches needed.
- Recovery: Most people resume normal activities the same day, with only mild tenderness possible for a day or two.
- Duration: Pellets release hormones steadily for 3–6 months, depending on your profile. Follow-up insertions keep things consistent.
Research highlights how this steady delivery may help maintain even levels, potentially supporting daily energy without peaks and valleys. It’s a minimally invasive choice for those interested in hormone optimization alongside other wellness strategies, like our peptide or IV offerings.
