Austin Springs Women’s Health is proud to offer Biote® Bioidentical Pellet Therapy, a personalized hormone optimization option for both women and men.
Biote® Pellet Therapy delivers bioidentical hormones through tiny pellets placed just beneath the skin during a simple in-office procedure. Unlike medications that must be taken or applied daily, pellets gradually release hormones over time, providing consistent hormone delivery without the daily inconvenience of pills, patches, creams, or injections.
Using comprehensive laboratory testing, an evaluation of your symptoms and medical history, and a personalized treatment plan, our certified Biote® providers determine the appropriate hormone dosage based on your individual needs and health goals.
At Austin Springs Women’s Health in Austin, Texas, Martha Schmitz, MD, and Uyenvy “Vee” Mai, NP, provide individualized hormone evaluations and ongoing monitoring to help appropriate candidates improve their health, energy, vitality, and overall quality of life.

Biote® Bioidentical Pellet Therapy Q & A
What is Biote® Bioidentical Pellet Therapy?
Biote® Bioidentical Pellet Therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, commonly referred to as BHRT. It uses customized hormone pellets containing hormones that are chemically similar to hormones naturally produced by the human body.
The pellets are placed just beneath the skin through a brief in-office procedure. Once inserted, they gradually release hormones into the body over time. Your dosage is personalized according to your symptoms, medical history, comprehensive laboratory results, health goals, and clinical response.
What symptoms may Biote® Pellet Therapy help address?
Hormone levels may change with age, menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone, certain medical conditions, and other factors. When clinically appropriate, Biote® Pellet Therapy may help relieve symptoms associated with hormone imbalance, including:
- Fatigue and decreased energy
- Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Low libido and decreased sexual wellness
- Mood changes, anxiousness, or irritability
- Poor sleep quality
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Loss of muscle mass or strength
- Joint discomfort
- Reduced physical performance or recovery
- Decreased overall vitality and well-being
Individual responses to hormone therapy vary. Your provider will review the potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and expected outcomes based on your individual medical needs.
How is Biote® Pellet Therapy different from other hormone treatments?
Pills, creams, patches, and injections may require daily, weekly, or otherwise frequent use. Biote® pellets are designed to gradually release hormones over an extended period without requiring patients to remember a daily medication.
This delivery method may help provide more consistent hormone support and reduce the hormonal fluctuations that some patients experience with other hormone delivery methods.
How often are Biote® pellets inserted?
The timing of pellet therapy varies according to your laboratory results, hormone levels, metabolism, symptoms, absorption rate, and clinical response.
Most female patients receive pellet therapy approximately every 3–4 months, while many male patients receive treatment approximately every 5–6 months. Your provider will determine the most appropriate treatment schedule for you.
Am I a candidate for Biote® Pellet Therapy?
You may be a candidate if you are experiencing symptoms that could be associated with a hormone imbalance. Before recommending treatment, your provider will perform a comprehensive evaluation that may include:
- A detailed review of your symptoms and medical history
- A review of your current medications and supplements
- A physical examination when medically appropriate
- Comprehensive baseline laboratory testing
- Detailed hormone testing
- Age-appropriate preventive health screenings
- A review of the potential benefits, risks, and treatment alternatives
Treatment is recommended only after your provider reviews your medical history, symptoms, laboratory findings, and overall health and determines that hormone therapy is medically appropriate.
