Subdermal Pellet Implantation

Meaning

Subdermal Pellet Implantation is a clinical procedure involving the insertion of small, compressed hormone pellets, typically bioidentical testosterone or estradiol, into the subcutaneous fat tissue, usually in the hip or buttock area. This method is a long-acting delivery system designed to provide a steady, continuous release of the hormone directly into the bloodstream over several months. The sustained-release profile avoids the peaks and troughs associated with oral or weekly injectable administration, promoting stable serum hormone levels and enhanced patient compliance. It is a precise and effective method for long-term hormone optimization therapy.
