Why Choose Pellet Therapy vs. Other Testosterone Replacement Modalities? 

Testosterone can be replaced through creams, dissolvable tablet, injections or pellet.  So why get the testosterone pellet?  One of the biggest benefits to pellet therapy versus other modalities is that you don’t need to think about it every day or even every week.  Once the pellet or pellets are in place, they last approximately 3 months for women and 6 months for men.  For women, pellet therapy provides the most dramatic results.  Men will see similar benefits with the Testosterone injection.  

How do I know if I would benefit from Testosterone Replacement?

When you set up your free consult at silk life you will meet with a PA to discuss your symptoms.  If you may be a good candidate for Testosterone replacement, then your PA will suggest a blood draw.  Symptoms of low testosterone can start as low as age 30 in both men and women.  Some patients may experience one or many of the following:

☑  Increased fatigue

☑  Low Motivation

☑  Difficulty losing weight

☑  Difficulty gaining muscle

☑  Trouble with memory and focus

☑  Poor Sleep  

☑  Decreased Libido or sexual function

To confirm that your symptoms are caused by low Testosterone, you need a blood draw.  The Silk Life detailed panel not only looks at testosterone, but all of your hormones, many health markers and a few important vitamins that contribute to you feeling your best.  Full blood results take about a week.   

What is the Pellet Insertion Procedure Like?

Pellet insertion is fairly quick and easy.  The whole procedure is about 15 minutes.  Your PA will identify the best site to insert, usually in the fatty area of the hip.  Once the site is marked you will lay on your side.   Lidocaine is used to numb the area, so that you won’t feel a thing.  Once the area is numb the pellet is inserted under the skin into the fat tissue.  A bandage is then placed over the insertion site with an ice pack and you are ready to go home or back to work.
