Hormone Pellet Therapy in Vero Beach

Most pellets last three to six months, depending on your dosage and how quickly your body absorbs them.

Not easily. Once a pellet is placed, it continues releasing hormone until it dissolves, and removal would require reopening the insertion site. This is why dosing is approached conservatively and why your history and labs are reviewed carefully first.

Temporary soreness, bruising, or swelling at the insertion site is common. Hormone-related effects can include breast tenderness, acne or oily skin, fluid retention, or increased hair growth, depending on the hormone and dose. Infection or pellet extrusion is uncommon but possible.

Most patients feel only mild pressure, since the area is numbed first. Any discomfort typically resolves quickly.

Follow the aftercare instructions provided by the practice. You may be advised to limit strenuous lower-body exercise and avoid soaking the insertion site for a specified period while it heals.

Hormone testing is often recommended to determine appropriate dosing and to establish a baseline for follow-up.

Coverage varies by insurance plan, treatment, and pharmacy arrangement. Contact your insurer and the practice to confirm expected costs. Financing through M Lend Financial may be available for eligible services, subject to terms and approval.
