Natural Hormone Optimization with Bioidentical Testosterone Pellets
Low testosterone affects millions of men and often goes undiagnosed. Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, brain fog, and loss of muscle mass are frequently attributed to aging, but they are often caused by hormonal imbalance.
BioTE® testosterone therapy is a natural hormone replacement treatment that uses bioidentical testosterone pellets to restore healthy hormone levels and help men regain energy, strength, confidence, and sexual vitality.
At Prestige Medical Group, our physicians specialize in BioTE® hormone optimization for men, helping patients restore hormonal balance safely and effectively.
What Is BioTE® Testosterone Therapy?
BioTE® is a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses small pellets containing natural testosterone identical to what the body produces.
These pellets are placed under the skin where they release a steady, consistent dose of testosterone over several months, helping eliminate the hormone fluctuations that occur with injections, creams, or gels.
BioTE pellets are made from plant-derived compounds that are structurally identical to human hormones, allowing the body to metabolize them naturally.
Why Testosterone Matters for Men’s Health
Testosterone is the primary male hormone responsible for many critical functions in the body, including:
-
Libido and sexual performance
-
Erectile strength
-
Muscle mass and strength
-
Bone density
-
Energy levels
-
Mental clarity and focus
-
Mood stability
-
Fat metabolism
-
Sleep quality
After age 30, testosterone levels naturally decline by approximately 1–2% per year, and many men develop symptoms of Low Testosterone (Low T).

Men experiencing testosterone deficiency may notice:

How BioTE® Pellet Therapy Works
BioTE pellets provide a slow, consistent release of testosterone that mimics the body’s natural hormone production.
The BioTE Process
1. Comprehensive Consultation
Your provider evaluates symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors.
2. Advanced Hormone Testing
Blood testing measures testosterone and other hormones to determine if therapy is appropriate.
3. Personalized Treatment Plan
Your physician calculates the ideal pellet dosage based on lab results and symptoms.
4. Quick Pellet Insertion Procedure
A tiny pellet is inserted under the skin in the upper buttock area using a minimally invasive technique.
5. Continuous Hormone Release
The pellet gradually dissolves, delivering steady testosterone levels for several months.
Most men begin noticing improvements in 2–4 weeks.

Why Pellets Are Different From Testosterone Injections or Gels
Unlike traditional testosterone treatments, pellets provide stable hormone levels without daily maintenance.
BioTE Pellets
✔ Consistent hormone release
✔ No daily application
✔ No hormone spikes or crashes
✔ Long-lasting results (about 6 months)
Testosterone Injections
✖ Hormone fluctuations
✖ Weekly injections
✖ Peaks and crashes
Testosterone Gels
✖ Risk of transferring hormones to others
✖ Daily application
✖ Inconsistent absorption
For many men, pellet therapy offers the most convenient and physiologic form of testosterone replacement.
What to Expect During the BioTE Pellet Procedure
The procedure is simple and typically takes less than 15 minutes.
Procedure Steps
-
The skin is numbed with local anesthetic
-
A tiny incision is made
-
The pellet is inserted under the skin
-
A small bandage is placed over the area
Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Mild soreness at the insertion site may occur for a few days.
How Long Do BioTE Pellets Last?
Most men require pellet replacement every:
– 6 months
The exact duration depends on metabolism, activity level, and dosage.
Your provider will monitor hormone levels and symptoms to determine the ideal schedule.
