Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) gained significant popularity during the 1960s and experienced a surge in usage during the 1990s.¹ In recent years, HRT has made a comeback for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. According to the North American Menopause Society, HRT is still the most effective treatment for symptoms such as vaginal dryness and hot flashes, as well as preventing bone loss.² Currently, HRT remains widely recognized across the medical field, allowing healthcare providers to discover even more options, such as BHRT pellets.
Understanding BHRT
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a type of HRT that utilizes hormones chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. BHRT is frequently regarded as more effective than traditional HRT in alleviating symptoms associated with menopause.³
With BHRT, healthcare and medical spa providers have a unique opportunity to cater to a broader range of patients seeking more natural alternatives to hormone treatments. BHRT pellets, in particular, provide a method of delivery that allows providers to conveniently offer BHRT as a service while scaling their practices and businesses.
What Are BHRT Pellets?
BHRT pellets are small, time-released capsules that consist of bio-identical hormones. The pellets are carefully inserted subcutaneously and gradually release a consistent and personalized amount of hormones tailored to the patient’s needs.
Staying Ahead of the Curve: Simplified Pellet Insertion
The current method commonly employed for pellet insertion involves cleaning, autoclaving, and reusing the necessary instruments for the procedure. This approach can be difficult and inconsistent, largely depending on individual providers’ own procedures that may not be standardized.
The Re3 Advanced Pellet Delivery System developed by Pellecome® is an enhanced approach for delivering BHRT. The ergonomically designed insertion instrument with a needle guide guarantees that pellets are always administered in the correct subcutaneous tissue plane. Benefits include a shorter process time, easier insertion, and less risk of complications.
