Hormone pellet therapy involves inserting small pellets under the skin that release hormones to balance the body's natural levels. It helps men and women experiencing hormone imbalances by improving energy, mood, sexual performance, focus, and muscle mass while reducing body fat and enhancing overall well-being.

Hormone pellet therapy is generally recommended for up to five years, as risks like cancer or cardiovascular issues may increase over time. However, depending on your blood work, health, and medical history, you might be able to continue for a longer period under the careful medical supervision of our hormone experts here at 4Ever Young Wellington, FL.

Hormone pellet insertion is generally painless for most patients, as a local anesthetic is applied before making a small incision where the pellet is inserted. Some mild tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur for 3-4 days after the procedure, but the overall process is quick and typically well-tolerated.

After hormone pellet insertion, there are a few important things to avoid for optimal healing:

1. Keep the wound dry for 24 hours, and avoid soaking in tubs, pools, or baths for at least 3 days.
2.Avoid vigorous exercise, such as running, biking, or yoga, for 3-4 days.
3. Refrain from heavy lifting, repetitive squatting, or extensive housecleaning for 3 days.
4. Avoid massage therapy directly at the pellet site for 6 months.

These precautions help prevent bruising, infection, and delayed wound healing.

Hormone pellets are typically injected into the lower abdominal wall or hip through a small incision, which is then taped closed. The procedure is relatively painless and done under local anesthesia.
