What are bio-identical testosterone pellets?

Bio-identical testosterone pellets are small, custom-compounded implantable devices that contain testosterone which is structurally identical to the one that is produced by the human body.

How do bio-identical testosterone pellets work?

Testosterone pellets are inserted by a trained provider just underneath the skin’s surface, where they gradually release testosterone into the bloodstream, and provide a steady and consistent amount of the hormone which can last 3-4 months.

Are bio-identical testosterone pellets ideal for both men and women?

Yes, both men and women can benefit from the advantages of bio-identical testosterone pellets. The dosage will be different with women’s dosage being significantly less than that of their male counterparts.

What are the benefits of using bio-identical testosterone pellets for women?

The benefits of bio-identical testosterone replacement for women include: increased energy, improved sleep quality, improved libido, a reduction in the symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, increased memory and concentration, and improved bone density.

What are the benefits of using bio-identical testosterone pellets for men?

The benefits of bio-identical testosterone pellets for men include increased energy levels, increased muscle mass and bone density as well as increased libido.

What are the benefits of using pellets as opposed to pills or creams?

Pellets offer a more consistent delivery method, which mimics the body’s natural hormone production. This avoids the “peaks and valleys” associated with other delivery forms such as pills, patches, or creams.

Is bio-identical testosterone pellet therapy safe?

Yes. These pellets are made from natural sources and are designed to provide a safe and effective treatment option under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

I am interested in getting treated. What does the process look like?

You will first come in to the office for a consultation with our certified medical providers (our nurse, PA or physician) and will order lab tests. If no contraindications are present, we will schedule an appointment for the pellet insertion. This is a quick procedure under local anesthesia with no downtime. We will follow up with more blood work at the 6 week mark.

How frequently should testosterone pellets be inserted?

Women require testosterone pellet insertion around every 3 months and men would require it every 4 months.

What is the cost for bio-identical testosterone pellets?

The cost per insertion is $600 for women and $1,000 for men. We offer a discounted annual plan which amounts to $1,920 for women and $2,400 for men. Financing options are available.

How soon will I feel results?

Most patients begin noticing improvements in energy, mood, and libido within the first 2 to 4 weeks. Full results can take a little longer as your body adjusts.

Will I need bloodwork?

Yes. Lab work is essential to accurately measure your hormone levels and customize your treatment. We’ll do blood tests before your first insertion and at regular intervals to make sure everything stays balanced.

Is this just for older adults?

No. While many patients are in their 40s, 50s, or beyond, hormone imbalances can affect people in their 30s or even younger. If you’re experiencing symptoms, testing your levels is the best place to start.

Bio-Identical Testosterone Pellet Treatment

Northern Virginia & Washington DC

Are you experiencing a decline in energy, libido, or overall well-being? These could be signs of a hormonal imbalance, particularly a decrease in testosterone production. We are excited to offer bio-identical testosterone pellet therapy as part of our comprehensive wellness program. This innovative treatment method provides a safe and effective way to restore healthy testosterone levels, promoting a renewed sense of vitality and well-being and we are proud to offer this service in Fairfax, VA.

Why Consider Bio-Identical Testosterone Pellet Treatment?

Hormonal imbalances can affect both men and women, especially as we age. When your testosterone levels drop, you might notice changes in how you feel every day. Common symptoms include fatigue, low sex drive, mood swings, trouble focusing, and a loss of muscle mass. These changes can sneak up on you—but they’re often a sign that your body is out of balance.

Men

For men, testosterone levels begin to decline naturally around the age of 30 and continue to drop as the years go on. This condition is sometimes called andropause, and it can bring on low energy, irritability, weight gain, and even depression. Testosterone pellet therapy offers a safe and reliable way to restore those levels and get you back to feeling like yourself again.

Women

Testosterone isn’t just a male hormone. Women also produce it, and just like with estrogen, levels drop during perimenopause and menopause. When that happens, you might feel sluggish, moody, less interested in intimacy, or even struggle with sleep. Pellet therapy can help bring your hormones back into balance—with dosing tailored specifically for women’s needs.

When your hormones are in balance, you feel it. You sleep better. You have more energy. Your mood improves. Your libido returns. It becomes easier to focus, and your body responds better to exercise and recovery. Balanced hormones improve your overall quality of life. from how you show up at work to how you connect with your partner.

How is Pellet Therapy Different from Other Hormone Therapies?

One of the biggest advantages of pellet therapy is the steady release of hormones into your system. Unlike pills, patches, or creams that can cause spikes and crashes in hormone levels, pellets mimic the body’s natural rhythm. That means more consistent energy, better mood stability, and fewer side effects. Pellet therapy only needs to be done every 3 to 4 months. There’s no daily medication to remember, no messy creams, and no need to apply anything before bed. You can get on with your life while your body gets what it needs.
