Pellet Implants
bio-identical hormonal therapy

Thanks for visiting Dermacare’s website. I’m Dr. Castillo-Plaza and I hope the following information can help you in making your best decision A Pellet implantation is a simple, in-office procedure. Using a local anesthetic, the estrogen and testosterone pellets are individually placed painlessly under the skin in the hip or buttock area. The heat fused pellets are placed in the subcutaneous tissue, several inches below the belt line in the buttocks. From start to finish, it takes less than 5 minutes! Each implantation can last from three to six months.

How does the pellet therapy work?

When you are under stress or perform exercise, your body needs higher levels of estrogen or testosterone to function optimally. To put it simply—your body has a built-in regulation system that calls for just the right amount of hormone to be released. When your ovaries (in women) and testicles (in men) were functioning properly, it was their job to produce these hormones and release them in correct amounts into the blood stream. In menopause and andropause, the ovaries and testicles slow down their production of estrogen and testosterone until they reach a point where they are unable to keep up with the demands of the body. The pellet therapy is able to pick up where the ovaries and testicles left off. The pellets work in partnership with your body to provide for its needs. Any rise in your heart rate will cause increased blood flow over the pellets, releasing the needed amount of hormone into your blood stream. In the case of exercise, an increased thermal release from the muscles being exercised will also cause a release of hormone from the pellets. *Note: Individual results may vary.

What is the Pellet Delivery system difference? The pellet therapy delivers - the right kind of bio- identical hormone – in the right amounts – using the right delivery system. For decades, studies have shown that the pellet delivery system for hormones replacement outperforms all other biologically equivalent methods of release. Pills, creams and patches do not deliver consistent levels of hormone to your system. Because pellet therapy allows your body to receive the hormones it needs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, this makes estrogen and testosterone available when you need it in the amount that you need. There are no peaks and valleys of hormone levels with pellet therapy as there are with the other delivery methods.
