Bio-Identical Estrogen and Testosterone Pellet Therapy
A
s people age, their naturally occurring hormones decline and become out of balance. Hormonal imbalance can lead to many unwanted symptoms including weight gain, fatigue, low libido, anxiety, depression, belly fat, insomnia and lack of muscle mass and initiative, just to name a few. Pellets are derived from natural plant sources and then modified at the molecular level to perfectly match what the body naturally produces. Pellets are available as testosterone and estrogen and can be administered for both men and women. They are about the size of a grain of rice and are inserted through a very quick and simple in-office procedure under local anesthesia. Unlike other therapies, pellets are cardiac driven, so as blood flows over the pellets, the hormones are released as the body needs it. Over time, the pellets will be completely used and dissolved by the body. On average, pellets will last three to four months for women and four to six months for men. Advantages of pellet therapy include: • No more weekly shots or daily creams. • Consistent, optimal levels of hormones. • Prevention of the highs and lows – the “roller coaster effect.” • The need to get “re-pelleted” only every three to six months. Dr. Shel Wellness & Medical Spa is proud to offer pellets as an option for achieving optimal hormone balance.
