What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bio-identical pellet therapy was originally developed in Europe during the 1930s. It proved an excellent treatment for hormone deficiencies, especially in menopause. The highly-respected pioneer of Endocrinology, Dr. Robert B. Greenblatt, learned about this method and introduced it to his U.S. colleagues in 1939. Today, practitioners use pellet implants to restore hormonal balance in women of all ages. Best of all they are natural, safe, and effective.

When properly administered, the pellet delivery system provides safe and effective BHRT. In fact, it remains the only form of delivery that closely mirrors what the human ovary does. This method ensures the same steady, around-the-clock, low dosages the body once created. You won’t have to change patches, rub on creams, or remember to take a pill. And you won’t experience the radical surges and drops in blood levels as with other methods. Pellet implants even deliver more when the body needs it—like during exercise or periods of stress.

Once inserted, a steady, low dose of natural hormone flows directly into the blood stream whenever the body needs it. This gives the body the ability to control the release of the hormone just as it did when the ovaries and testicles were working normally. Our method utilizes our proprietary dosing site, BioCalc (patent pending) to prescribe the precise hormones, specifically for your needs.

You have questions. We have answers.

How are bio-identical hormones delivered?

At SOMA, testosterone and estradiol are given via small subcutaneous pellets inserted into the subcutaneous tissue in the hip area.

What are the side effects of hormone pellets?

Side effects are rare, but may include: weight gain/weight loss, blurred vision, acne, increased facial hair (women).

Are hormone pellets covered by insurance?

Pellet therapy is typically not covered by insurance companies. However, when calculated, daily cost is less than $3.00 per day.

How much do pellets cost?

Average cost is $350-$400 for women and $750-$800 for men. Injections are typically done every 3 to 4 months.

Does pellet insertion hurt?

Most patients experience little to no pain. To alleviate any discomfort, local anesthesia is applied.
