HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Hormone Optimization with Biote® Pellet Therapy

Feel like yourself again. If low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, mood changes, or a fading libido have become your “new normal,” it may be hormone related. At Renaissance MediSpa & Wellness Center, we offer Biote® bioidentical hormone optimization for women and men—personalized care designed to restore balance and help you feel your best.

What is Biote?

Biote is a leading method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using tiny, time-released pellets placed just under the skin. These pellets deliver a steady, physiologic dose of hormones—helping reduce ups and downs you might feel with creams, patches, or injections.

Every plan is individualized based on your labs, medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Our trained providers use Biote’s data-driven dosing to help you reach an optimal balance safely and predictably.

Benefits you may notice

More consistent energy and mental clarity

Improved sleep quality

Balanced mood and reduced irritability

Increased libido and sexual function

Support for lean muscle and bone health

Easier weight management when paired with healthy habits

Results and timing vary by individual.

How it works

1.Consultation & Labs

We listen to your concerns, review your health history, and order comprehensive labs.

2.Personalized Plan

Your provider reviews your results and creates a tailored dosing plan.

3.Pellet Placement (10–15 minutes)

A tiny pellet is placed under the skin (usually the hip) with local anesthetic. Most people return to normal activities quickly.

4.Steady Support + Follow-Ups

Pellets slowly release hormones over several months. We check in, repeat labs as needed, and fine-tune your plan.

Typical timeline: Some patients feel improvements within 2–4 weeks, with full benefits typically developing over 8–12 weeks.

Why choose Biote at Renaissance?

  • Bioidentical, high-quality pellets tested for potency and purity

  • Evidence-informed dosing to reduce guesswork

  • Trained providers who focus on whole-person wellness

Who might be a candidate?

If you’re experiencing any of the following, a Biote consult could help determine if hormones are part of the picture:

  • Low energy, brain fog, or trouble focusing
  • Mood swings, irritability, or feeling “not like myself”
  • Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction
  • Weight changes or difficulty building/maintaining muscle
  • Sleep disruption or night sweats
  • Irregular cycles or menopausal symptoms (women)
  • Low motivation, recovery, or performance (men)

Safety & considerations

Your safety comes first. We evaluate your medical history and labs to determine if pellet therapy is appropriate. Common, temporary side effects after insertion can include bruising, tenderness, or mild swelling at the site. Hormone-related effects may include transient acne, fluid retention, or breast/skin sensitivity; your provider will review what’s relevant for you and how we monitor and adjust dosing.

Important: BHRT isn’t right for everyone. We’ll discuss contraindications and alternatives at your visit.

What to expect at your appointment

  • Before: Come well-hydrated; wear comfortable clothing.

  • During: Local numbing, a tiny incision, pellet insertion, and a small bandage—typically 10–15 minutes.

  • After: Avoid strenuous lower-body workouts, pools, and baths for a few days; keep the area clean and dry as instructed. Most daily activities are fine.

How long do pellets last?

Most women re-insert every 3–4 months; most men every 4–5 months. Your schedule is personalized to your response and labs.

Supportive wellness (optional)

To complement hormone balance, we offer Biote® CORE Essentials clinically-formulated nutraceuticals, plus guidance on sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress—because hormones work best alongside healthy habits.
