What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)?

Bioidentical hormones are designed to be structurally identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, including estrogen and testosterone.

At Revive Gynecology & Cosmetics, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using pellets, one of the most effective and convenient ways to restore hormonal balance.

Why Many Women Choose Pellet Therapy

Unlike pills, patches, or creams, pellet therapy delivers hormones in a way that closely mimics your body's natural rhythm.

Key Benefits:

• Consistent hormone levels (no ups and downs)
• No daily medications or applications
• Long-lasting results ( 3–4 months per treatment)
• Customized dosing for each patient
• Improved symptom control

Many patients prefer pellets because they eliminate the need to remember daily medications and avoid the fluctuations that can come with other forms of hormone therapy.

How Pellet Therapy Works

A small, rice-sized pellet is inserted just under the skin (typically in the upper hip area) during a quick in-office procedure.

• Performed under local anesthesia
• Takes only a few minutes
• Minimal downtime

The pellet gradually releases hormones over time, providing steady and consistent levels.

What Symptoms Can Pellet Therapy Improve?

Pellet therapy addresses a wide range of menopausal symptoms:

Hormonal Symptoms

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings and irritability
• Anxiety and depression

Energy & Brain Function

• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Lack of focus

Sexual Health

• Low libido
• Vaginal dryness
• Pain with intercourse

Overall Wellness

• Sleep disturbances
• Decreased motivation
• Reduced sense of well-being

Why Consistency Matters

One of the biggest advantages of pellet therapy is stable hormone delivery.

With other methods:

• Pills can cause hormone spikes and drops
• Creams and gels depend on daily compliance and absorption
• Patches may not deliver consistent levels

Pellets provide:
👉 A steady, reliable hormone level—closer to how your body naturally functions

What About Safety?

Bioidentical hormone therapy is considered safe for most healthy women, especially when:

• Therapy is started at the appropriate time
• Dosing is individualized
• Patients are properly monitored

At Revive, we:

• Carefully evaluate each patient
• Monitor symptoms and labs
• Adjust dosing as needed

Your safety is always our priority.

Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone—A Balanced Approach

Pellet therapy can include:

• Estrogen → for symptom relief and overall health
• Testosterone → for energy, libido, and mental clarity

If you have a uterus:

• Progesterone is added (typically oral) to protect the uterine lining

This comprehensive approach helps restore true hormonal balance, not just partial treatment.

Is Pellet Therapy Right for You?

Pellet therapy is ideal for women who:

• Want a low-maintenance option
• Prefer to avoid daily medications
• Experience fluctuations with other therapies
• Want consistent symptom relief
• Are looking for a more optimized, personalized approach
