Hormone pellet therapy is a method of delivering hormones through tiny pellets that are inserted just under the skin. Pellet therapy offers superior results with minimal side effects.
Many women find that hormone pellets provide long-lasting relief without the need for daily or weekly interventions. Your personalized treatment plan from Yunique Medical ensures that the hormone pellet levels are tailored to your needs, so that balance can be restored and you can feel your best.
Hormone pellets offer a natural and effective way to restore hormone balance. Tiny pellets, composed of bioidentical hormones, are placed just under the skin where they release hormones steadily over time. They provide a consistent, even distribution of hormones that help maintain stable hormone levels and alleviate symptoms of imbalance.
Weight gain can occur due to hormonal changes, but hormone pellets themselves typically do not directly cause it. In fact, hormone optimization may assist in weight management by restoring balance. However, individual responses vary, and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise play a role in weight gain, with or without hormone pellets.
Fatigue can be a symptom of hormonal imbalance, which hormone pellets aim to address. Some individuals may initially experience fatigue as their bodies adjust to new hormone levels. However, once hormone levels stabilize, many report increased energy and reduced fatigue.
Hormone pellet insertion is typically a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. While discomfort during insertion is possible, most patients generally report minimal pain. After the procedure, some may experience mild soreness or bruising at the insertion site, which usually resolves within a few hours or days.
The process of hormone pellet insertion is relatively quick, typically lasting around 15 to 30 minutes. After the insertion site is numbed with local anesthesia, the pellets are inserted just beneath the skin. The procedure is performed in-office, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly afterward with minimal disruption.
Hormone levels can fluctuate throughout a woman’s life. Generally, it’s advisable for women to consider hormone testing if they experience symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, or decreased libido, regardless of age. Additionally, routine hormone screening may be recommended during menopause or perimenopause, typically starting around age 40 to 50.
Female hormone therapy aims to restore hormonal balance, which can positively impact energy levels. Many individuals report increased energy and improved vitality with hormone optimization. By addressing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue and lethargy, hormone therapy can help individuals feel more energized.

Our experts customize the hormone treatment according to your individual needs, promoting safe and effective weight loss.
HRT can indirectly aid in reducing belly fat by regulating hormones and addressing underlying hormonal changes that contribute to increased abdominal fat storage.

Weight loss achieved through HRT offers multiple benefits, including hormonal balance, improved metabolism, increased energy, enhanced body composition, and overall health and well-being. HRT may also help manage health conditions such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk factors.
HRT typically involves replacing or supplementing hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The specific hormones used will be determined based on your unique requirements, medical history, and treatment goals.
HRT can facilitate weight loss through various mechanisms. Some individuals may experience gradual weight loss over a few months, while others may see significant changes within a year. However, it is important to maintain a strict and healthy diet, along with an exercise plan, during this period for optimal results.
By rebalancing hormones and addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to cravings and emotional eating, HRT may help decrease these behaviors and promote better control over food choices.
While there are no specific dietary rules for individuals on HRT, it is generally recommended to maintain a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains to support overall health and weight management.
