Pellet therapy

Hormone pellet therapy in Richmond

Hormone pellet therapy places small bioidentical hormone pellets under the skin, where they release small, steady amounts of hormone for months. There's nothing to apply or take each day. Women usually have pellets placed every 3 to 4 months and men every 4 to 5 months, after testing confirms they're a good fit.
