Hormone Pellet Therapy
IN CHANDLER, AZ
At VIA Health & Medspa in Chandler, AZ, we offer hormone pellet therapy to help individuals achieve hormonal balance and improve overall well-being. This innovative treatment provides a consistent and steady release of bioidentical hormones, designed to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances in both men and women. Our approach focuses on personalized care to address your unique physiological needs.
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses small, custom-compounded pellets inserted under the skin. These pellets, typically derived from plant compounds, release a continuous, physiological dose of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. This method aims to mimic the body’s natural hormone production more closely than other administration routes.
Hormone Pellet Therapy Overview
Hormone pellet therapy at VIA Liposuction & Aesthetics involves a comprehensive process. Following an initial consultation and diagnostic testing, a personalized treatment plan is developed. Small, bioidentical hormone pellets are then discreetly inserted under the skin, providing a consistent and sustained release of hormones to restore balance and alleviate symptoms over several months.
Hormone Pellet Therapy Preparation
- Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough initial consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and health goals. This crucial step helps us understand your unique needs and determine if hormone pellet therapy is the right option for you. We prioritize open communication to ensure all your concerns are addressed.
- Diagnostic Blood Tests
Comprehensive blood tests are performed to accurately measure your current hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These diagnostic insights provide a clear picture of your hormonal landscape. The results guide the precise formulation of your personalized hormone pellets.
- Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your consultation and blood test results, a customized hormone pellet therapy plan is created. This plan outlines the specific hormones and dosages required to optimize your levels. We aim to restore balance and address your individual symptoms effectively.
During Your Hormone Pellet Therapy
- Area Preparation
The insertion site, typically in the upper buttocks or hip area, is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. This step ensures a hygienic environment for the procedure and minimizes any potential risks. Patient comfort and safety are our foremost concerns.
- Local Anesthetic
A local anesthetic is administered to numb the insertion area, ensuring the procedure is comfortable and virtually pain-free. You should only feel a slight pressure during the process. We prioritize your comfort throughout the entire treatment.
- Pellet Insertion
A tiny incision, only a few millimeters long, is made in the numbed skin. Using a specialized device, the small, custom-compounded hormone pellets are gently inserted into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin. The entire insertion process is quick and efficient.
- Closure and Dressing
Once the pellets are in place, the small incision is closed with sterile tape or a small bandage. No stitches are typically required, allowing for a quick and easy recovery. You will receive specific instructions for post-procedure care.

Hormone Pellet Therapy Recovery
Immediate Care
After pellet insertion, a small dressing will be applied to the site, which should remain clean and dry for a few days. You may experience minor bruising or tenderness at the insertion point. These effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.
Activity Restrictions
We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, hot tubs, swimming, and direct pressure on the insertion site for about 3-5 days. This helps ensure proper healing and integration of the pellets. Following these guidelines supports optimal results.
Monitoring and Follow-up
Regular follow-up appointments and blood tests are essential to monitor your hormone levels and assess your response to the therapy. These checks allow us to make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Continuous care ensures sustained benefits.
Pellet Replacement
To maintain consistent hormonal balance, pellets require replacement. Typically, hormone pellets last between three to six months, depending on individual metabolism. When their effect diminishes, a new set of pellets will be inserted during a scheduled follow-up visit.

These benefits can include sustained energy, enhanced mood, improved cognitive function, and restored vitality.
