Hormone Therapy & Pallets in Ventura, CA
What is Hormone Therapy with Pellets?
Hormone Therapy with Pellets is an advanced, clinically backed treatment used to restore and optimize hormone levels in individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances. As we age, hormone production naturally declines, significantly affecting overall health, mood, energy levels, and quality of life. This therapy addresses those deficiencies by delivering bioidentical hormones, molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. The process involves implanting small, solid pellets under the skin, typically in the upper buttocks or hip area. These hormone pellets gradually release a steady, consistent dose of hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid hormones, into the bloodstream over several months. This slow, controlled release mimics the body’s natural rhythm more effectively than oral medications, injections, or creams, reducing fluctuations and enhancing overall efficacy.
At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we provide personalized hormone therapy using pellets customized to each patient’s specific needs. Our medical experts use comprehensive lab testing and symptom analysis to create a personalized plan that restores balance and improves your quality of life. Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, andropause, or thyroid imbalances, hormone pellet therapy may be the long-term solution you’ve been looking for. At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, Hormone Pellet Therapy offers a personalized, long-lasting solution to balance your hormones and improve your well-being.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Who is a good candidate for Hormone Therapy with Pellets?
This therapy is ideal for both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal decline or imbalance. Conditions such as menopause, andropause, hypothyroidism, and adrenal fatigue often lead to symptoms that can be effectively managed with hormone replacement therapy. During a thorough health evaluation and hormone testing, your healthcare provider will determine your suitability.
When will I start to see results?
Most patients notice positive changes within 2-4 weeks of treatment. However, the full effects may take up to 3-6 months, depending on how their bodies respond, the severity of their symptoms, and their adherence to follow-up care.
How long do the results last?
The pellets typically remain effective for 3-6 months, after which they dissolve naturally in the body. New pellets will need to be inserted periodically to maintain balanced hormone levels. Your provider will schedule regular hormone level monitoring to determine the appropriate timing for re-treatment.
Is there any downtime or side effects?
An in-office pellet insertion usually takes less than 20 minutes and requires little to no downtime. Bruising, swelling, or tenderness may occur temporarily. Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as mood swings, acne, or weight changes, though these often subside as hormone levels stabilize.
What should I do before and after the treatment?
Before treatment, you will undergo a comprehensive medical consultation and bloodwork to assess your hormone levels. After treatment, following your provider’s aftercare instructions is essential, as is maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and attending scheduled follow-ups for optimal results and safety.
What happens during the treatment?
During the appointment, your provider will numb the treatment area and insert the pellet beneath the skin through a small incision. It is sized like a grain of rice and is implanted using a minimally invasive method. Once in place, it delivers consistent hormone levels into your bloodstream, eliminating the hormonal fluctuations common with other therapy methods like injections or oral pills.
