Benefits of BioTe Hormone Replacement

BioTE® is a bio-identical (not synthetic) hormone replacement that seeks to return hormone balance to youthful levels. In addition to improving energy and muscle strength, providing greater ability to lose weight and increased mental clarity, BioTE® can make patients feel younger and happier again, with an increased quality of life. Optimized hormones can also reduce the risk of many age-related health issues such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, and diabetes.

How Does It Work?

Small BioTE® hormone pellets are placed under the skin and release bio-identical estrogen and/or testosterone consistently into the bloodstream. No stitches are required and patients may return to work immediately following the procedure. Proper dosing is determined by your bloodwork and unique and customized dosing is recommended for each patient to provide the best possible outcome. A four-six week follow-up blood test is required so we may evaluate your levels to determine if any adjustments need to be made. Patients already on a hormone replacement treatment such as shots, creams, patches or pills may easily transition to BioTE® hormone replacement therapy.
