Hormone Therapy For Men

Pellet hormone therapy offers a convenient and effective way to restore hormonal balance. This method involves implanting small, bioidentical hormone pellets beneath the skin, which release a consistent and stable dose of hormones over a 3-6 month period. The steady hormone delivery helps the body maintain balance, leading to fewer side effects, better symptom management, and enhanced ease of use compared to other methods like creams or injections. During your consultation, Dr. Sutton will discuss pellet therapy as one of several options to help you decide on the best treatment plan for your needs.

Benefits of Pellet Therapy

• Ease of use: No need for daily creams, needles, injections, or concerns about missed doses.
• Consistent symptom management: Provides stable hormone levels for improved effectiveness.
• Fewer side effects: Many patients report reduced side effects compared to other methods.

The Process

Pellet insertion is a minimally invasive in-office procedure. After numbing the area with a small injection, Dr. Sutton makes a tiny incision to place the pellet under the skin. The procedure involves minimal discomfort, requires no stitches, and has little downtime. Dr. Sutton and her staff will provide detailed pre- and post-care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

Follow-up will depend on your therapy.
