Hormone Pellet Therapy in Scarsdale, NY and Greenwich, CT
Daily creams rub off. Weekly injections swing your hormone levels up and down. Patches irritate your skin and demand constant attention.

About This Service
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Pellet therapy delivers bioidentical hormones — chemically identical to those your body produces — through small, biodegradable pellets inserted under the skin, typically in the hip or buttock area. As the pellets dissolve over three to six months, they release a consistent, steady supply of hormone into the bloodstream, mimicking the body's natural production process.
SeeBeyond Medicine uses pellet therapy for testosterone optimization in men and for bioidentical estrogen and testosterone replacement in women. Every protocol begins with comprehensive lab work, and dosing is calibrated to your biochemistry — not a standardized chart.
How Pellets Compare to Other Delivery Methods
Injections deliver testosterone quickly but create peaks and troughs in hormone levels and require visits as often as weekly. Patches must be applied daily and can irritate skin. Creams and gels are simple but risk transferring hormone to spouses, children, or pets through skin contact.
Pellets avoid all three problems. One or two insertions per year hold your levels steady around the clock, with no daily routine to remember and no transference risk. The stabilized release is also less taxing on the liver than fluctuating delivery methods.
What to Consider Before Starting
Pellets must be inserted by a qualified provider during a minor in-office procedure. As with any hormone therapy, side effects are possible — including bruising or infection at the insertion site, mood changes, or acne. Pellet therapy may not be covered by all insurance plans; SeeBeyond Medicine reviews your coverage and costs with you before treatment begins.
Conditions Treated
Who Pellet Therapy Helps
SeeBeyond Medicine uses pellet delivery for men and women whose symptoms trace back to declining hormone levels.
Low Testosterone in Men
Reduced sex drive, fatigue, declining muscle mass, stubborn belly fat, and brain fog respond to steady testosterone restoration. Pellets hold levels consistent where injections swing them up and down.
Menopause and Perimenopause
Hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disruption improve with bioidentical estrogen and testosterone delivered at a constant physiological rate over months, not days.
Low Libido and Sexual Wellness
Steady hormone levels restore sex drive, sensation, and satisfaction in both men and women — without the daily fluctuations that undermine results from creams and gels.
Energy, Mood, and Cognitive Decline
Consistent hormone delivery supports stable mood, sustained energy, mental clarity, bone density, and body composition throughout the full three-to-six-month pellet cycle.

What to Expect
Your Journey

1. Comprehensive Hormone Assessment
Lab work at SeeBeyond Medicine measures your current hormone levels alongside the metabolic markers that influence how your body uses them. Your physician confirms whether pellet delivery fits your profile.

2. Personalized Pellet Dosing
Your dose is calculated from your labs, symptoms, body composition, and goals. SeeBeyond Medicine sources bioidentical pellets from licensed compounding pharmacies.
03.
3. In-Office Insertion
A brief procedure under local anesthetic places the pellets under the skin of the hip or buttock. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with minor activity restrictions for a few days.

4. Monitoring and Reinsertion
Follow-up labs confirm your levels reach and hold the therapeutic range. Pellets are replaced every three to six months, and SeeBeyond Medicine adjusts your dose as your needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
How long do hormone pellets last?
Pellets release hormone steadily for three to six months, depending on your dose, metabolism, and activity level. Most patients need only two to four insertions per year.
Does pellet insertion hurt?
The insertion site is numbed with local anesthetic, so the procedure itself is comfortable and takes only minutes. Mild soreness or bruising at the site may follow for a few days.
Is pellet therapy right for women as well as men?
Yes. SeeBeyond Medicine uses pellets to deliver bioidentical estrogen and testosterone for women managing menopause, perimenopause, and low libido, and testosterone for men with low T. Dosing differs substantially and is always calibrated to your labs.
Is pellet therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan, and compounded pellets often require out-of-pocket payment. SeeBeyond Medicine reviews your coverage and provides transparent cost information before treatment begins.
What are the side effects of pellet therapy?
Possible effects include bruising or infection at the insertion site, mood changes, or acne. Because pellets cannot be removed easily once inserted, SeeBeyond Medicine starts conservatively and verifies your response with follow-up labs.
