BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is BioTE®?

BioTE® is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that offers a convenient solution for patients looking to balance their hormones and relieve symptoms of hormone imbalances, such as those seen in menopause. Unlike daily medications, creams, or injections, BioTE® uses pellets to deliver consistent hormone levels without the need for constant monitoring. It is suitable for both men and women, particularly those experiencing hormonal disruptions as they age.

Because BioTE® is a pellet-based therapy, small pellets containing compounded bioidentical hormones are placed under the skin. These pellets release hormones steadily into the body, promoting optimal hormone levels. Since these hormones are bioidentical, the body cannot distinguish them from naturally produced hormones, making the therapy highly effective.

Who is a Candidate?

BioTE® hormone therapy is beneficial for individuals dealing with symptoms caused by hormonal imbalance due to aging. For women, menopause is often the cause of fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and trouble sleeping due to fluctuations in hormone levels, including drops in estrogen and testosterone. BioTE® can help restore balance and alleviate these symptoms.

Men also experience a decrease in testosterone as they age, leading to fatigue, weight gain, decreased muscle strength, and irritability. BioTE® can help bring testosterone levels back to normal, enhancing energy, mood, and overall vitality.

However, your eligibility for BioTE® treatment will depend on factors like overall health and the presence of any underlying medical conditions, such as heart disease. A consultation with Dr. Sweat is the best way to determine candidacy.

The BioTE® Procedure

Prior to treatment, Dr. Sweat will evaluate your hormone levels through a blood test. Based on the results, an appropriate treatment plan will be formulated to address your symptoms.

BioTE® pellets are typically inserted into the upper buttocks. The procedure is minimally invasive: the skin is numbed, and a small incision is made to insert the pellet, which is then covered with a bandage. Once placed, capillaries form around the pellet, allowing hormones to enter the bloodstream within 24 hours. As the pellet is absorbed, consistent relief is achieved. When the pellet is fully absorbed, another one can be inserted as needed.

Maintaining Results with BioTE®

The BioTE® pellets gradually dissolve and are absorbed by the body, so regular treatments are necessary to maintain hormone balance and symptom relief. The frequency of pellet insertion will vary depending on individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and stress levels. Typically, women require a new pellet every 3-4 months, while men may need one every 4-5 months.
