Features of Biote Hormone Therapy
Bioidentical Hormones
Biote hormone therapy uses bioidentical hormones derived from plant-based sources, formulated to mimic the molecular structure of the hormones your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, the body recognizes and processes bioidentical hormones more efficiently, which may reduce side effects and enhance treatment effectiveness. By restoring hormonal balance, patients experience improved energy, mood, mental clarity, and wellness.
Hormone Pellets
Hormone pellet therapy is a convenient and long-lasting form of hormone replacement offered through the Biote system. During a quick in-office procedure, tiny pellets about the size of a grain of rice are inserted just beneath the skin, typically in the hip area. These pellets release a steady, consistent dose of hormones over several months. This method eliminates the hormone fluctuations associated with other delivery methods, such as pills, creams, or injections.

- Improves energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being
- Enhances libido and sexual function

Biote Hormone Therapy FAQs
How is the Hormone Pellet Inserted?
The hormone pellet insertion is a quick and simple in-office procedure. After numbing the area, typically the upper hip or buttocks, a small incision is made, and the pellet is placed under the skin. The incision is then covered with a small bandage. The entire process takes just a few minutes, with minimal discomfort and no need for stitches.
How Long Do Biote Pellets Last?
Biote pellets generally last 3 to 6 months, depending on your body’s metabolism, activity level, and individual hormone needs. Women typically need pellet insertions every 3 to 4 months. Your board-certified OB/GYN will determine the appropriate schedule for you.
Is Biote Hormone Therapy Safe?
Yes, Biote hormone therapy uses bioidentical hormones, which are molecularly similar to the body’s natural hormones, promoting better compatibility and fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones. At Jennifer Almonte, MD, our board-certified OB/GYNs ensure that every treatment plan is tailored to your needs for optimal safety.
Can Both Men and Women Receive Biote Hormone Therapy?
Absolutely! While many women seek Biote to manage menopause symptoms, men experiencing testosterone decline (andropause) can also benefit from this treatment. Biote is formulated to help both men and women achieve hormonal balance and improved well-being.
When Will I Notice Results From Biote Hormone Therapy?
Most patients notice symptom improvements within 1 to 3 weeks after pellet insertion. However, the full effects are typically experienced after 4 to 6 weeks as hormone levels stabilize.
