Biote Pellet Therapy in Austin

No, Biote pellets are fully bioabsorbable and dissolve completely over time as your body uses the hormones. There's nothing to remove—your body naturally absorbs the pellet material.

Most patients cannot feel the pellets once they're inserted, as they're placed in the fatty tissue of the upper buttock area. Occasionally, patients may feel a small bump initially, but this typically becomes unnoticeable within a few weeks.

If you delay your follow-up insertion, your hormone levels will gradually decline and symptoms may return. We recommend scheduling your next appointment before your current pellets are fully absorbed to maintain consistent optimization.

Yes, you can travel shortly after your procedure, though we recommend avoiding prolonged sitting or pressure on the insertion site for the first few days. Flying is perfectly safe and won't affect your pellets or results.

Biote pellet therapy is compatible with most medications, but it's essential to disclose all prescriptions and supplements during your consultation. Your provider will review potential interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Because pellets dissolve slowly, effects cannot be immediately reversed like stopping a pill or cream. However, most patients feel significantly better on pellet therapy, and any concerns can be addressed with dosage adjustments at your next insertion.

There are no specific dietary restrictions before pellet insertion, though staying well-hydrated is always beneficial. We do recommend avoiding alcohol for 24 hours before and after your procedure to minimize bruising.

Many patients notice subtle signs that their hormones are decreasing, such as returning fatigue or mood changes, typically around the 3-4 month mark for women. We also schedule follow-up labs to objectively monitor your levels and determine optimal timing for re-insertion.
