Please reach us at Contact@PremierMedConcierge.com or (239) 631-6780 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Bioidentical hormones are modified plant-based hormones that have the same structure and function as the hormones in your body, so they are a more natural form of hormone replacement therapy than lab-created synthetic hormones (often made with animal parts or urine).
BHRT PELLETS: Under strict federal guidelines, a specially trained compounding pharmacist prepares the pellets by combining a bioidentical hormone (estrogen or testosterone) with a natural plant-source carrier molecule, creating a structurally and physiologically identical molecular structure of hormones that the body produces.
BHRT TOPICAL CREAM: Topical bioidentical hormones compounded by a trained pharmacist based on your custom dosage as prescribed by Dr. Bandeira. The hormones are combined with a base cream that is applied topically to the skin, usually on areas with thin skin and good blood flow, such as the inner wrists, arms, thighs, or abdomen where they are quickly absorbed and enter the bloodstream.
It is natural for your hormone levels to increasingly become less stable as you age. Upon reading your lab results, you might be surprised how much particular hormones have nearly depleted to nothing. But, with bioidentical hormones, this is no longer a cause for alarm. Bioidentical hormone therapy can help restore your hormone levels to dramatically reduce symptoms and improve overall health and well-being.
More than likely, yes. Both men and women consistently report similar benefits within just a few weeks of receiving their first dose of bioidentical hormones. Reported benefits include:
ABOUT DAILY TOPICAL BHRT CREAMS
Transdermal (topical) forms of hormone therapy rely on the patient proactively applying their topicals consistently to avoid fluctuations in mood and energy levels. If you adapt well to new habits and feel confident about proactively managing a daily application routine, topical BHRT creams are a good choice.
ABOUT LONG-ACTING BHRT PELLETS
Subcutaneous bioidentical hormone pellets provide long-term (approximately three months between doses), on-demand absorption, and timed-released delivery of bioidentical hormones into your system, ensuring consistent, steady-state blood hormone levels over time without the need to think about daily application.
Regarding BHRT Pellets vs. BHRT Daily Topical Cream, the choice is yours! Whichever delivery method you prefer for your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy doses, you will likely be delighted with the improvements in your energy level, mood, sex drive, and much more!
Once Dr. Bandeira has assessed your hormone levels, relevant symptomatology, and medical history, he will use Biote’s evidence-based and data-driven proprietary algorithm to determine the exact dosage required of each hormone (estrogen &/or progesterone) required to optimize your levels.
The pellets are small capsules (about the size of a grain of rice) that contain bioidentical hormones, usually testosterone or estrogen. These pellets are placed directly into the fatty tissue underneath the skin of the gluteus muscle.
Following the application of local anesthetic at the 1 cm incision site, the implantation procedure is easily and painlessly performed, and the incision site is closed with a Steri-Strip. From beginning to end, the entire procedure is completed by Dr. Bandeira inside the office in less than 15 minutes.
The duration of hormone pellet therapy varies depending on the individual and the dosage administered. Normally, hormone pellets last between three and five months before they need to be replaced.
Once Dr. Bandeira has assessed your hormone levels, relevant symptomatology, and medical history, he will determine the best beginning dosage for your unique circumstances and submit your prescription to an expert compounding pharmacist.
The compounding pharmacist carefully measures and mixes the bioidentical hormones with the selected base ingredients to create a customized cream formulation uique to your needs. The compounding process involves specialized equipment and techniques to ensure accurate dosing and uniform distribution of the hormones blended throughout the cream.
Dr. Bandeira will consult with you to determine the best application point (or points) on your body for optimal blood flow to foster efficient absorption. NOTE: It is vital for patients to work closely with Dr. Bandeira to ensure safe and appropriate daily use of topical BHRT cream.
