Hormone pellet therapy, placed by your gynecologist.
Pellets deliver a steady, low-maintenance dose of bioidentical hormones — inserted in minutes, working for months. At PURR, they're placed and monitored by the physician who knows your chart.
How pellets work
BioTE pellets are rice-grain-sized doses of bioidentical hormones placed under the skin in a brief in-office procedure. They release gradually over several months, avoiding the daily peaks and troughs of creams and pills.
Who they're for
Women whose labs and symptoms point to hormone optimization — often in perimenopause or after menopause — who want consistent dosing without a daily routine. Candidacy is determined by your evaluation and lab work, never assumed.
Follow-through, not just insertion
Pellet therapy at PURR includes scheduled lab re-checks and symptom reviews, so dosing is adjusted from data. Follow-up reviews can increasingly happen online, so you come in only when there's a reason to.
Questions, answered
How long does insertion take?
The office visit is short; the insertion itself takes only a few minutes under local anesthetic.
How often are pellets placed?
Typically every three to five months, guided by your labs and symptoms rather than a fixed calendar.
Can I start with pellets on my first visit?
First comes evaluation and labs. If pellets are appropriate, insertion is scheduled promptly afterward.
