What is Pellet therapy? Pellets are approved for testosterone replacement therapy in adult males for conditions associated with low or absent testosterone in the body. Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin and consistently release small, physiologic doses of testosterone into the blood stream.  Once in place, the pellets deliver a steady dose of testosterone, keeping you in your normal testosterone range for 3-6 months. The pellets are very small (about the size of a grain of rice) and are inserted in a simple and painless 5-10 minute procedure in the office.

Can I maintain my activities? Pellet therapy is designed for patients with a busy lifestyle. With pellet therapy, men can return to normal activities soon after the procedure. Blood tests are used to help adjust the pellet dosage so that you get the correct amount of hormones every time.

Are Pellets Bioidentical Hormones? Yes, pellets are bioidentical hormones.  Bioidentical hormone preparations are medications that contain hormones that are an exact chemical match to those made naturally by humans.

Will Insurance pay for Pellets? The pellets are covered by most insurance plans, making it a convenient and cost effective alternative to your current therapy. A quick call to our office at 817-416-5698 could help you to determine if your specific insurance company will help to cover the cost
