At Gemini Med Spa, we specialize in helping patients regain their vitality, energy, and overall quality of life through advanced hormone replacement therapy.
Our bio-identical hormone pellets are an all-natural solution to hormone imbalances, delivering consistent results that support your health and well-being.
What Are Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets?
Sterile pellets are a small, cylindrical form of compounded medication prepared using bio- identical hormones. They are used to treat hormone deficiencies and imbalances in both men and women.
The pellet is only about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted below the skin in the gluteal or abdominal area during a simple office procedure. The area is numbed using a local anesthetic and a tiny incision is made through which the pellet is inserted using a trocar. Once it is in place, a sterile strip is used to close the incision and covered with an adhesive bandage.
Over the course of three to four months, the pellet slowly dissolves as the body draws small, physiologic dosages of the hormone to maintain a more consistent delivery. Once it is dissolved, the procedure is repeated and a new pellet is inserted.
What are pellets used for?
Pellets have been used as a safe, effective way to provide the body with hormones necessary for treatment of a wide variety of conditions. The doctor may prescribe sterile pellets for both men and women experiencing menopause or andropause, and with conditions such as:
- Testosterone deficiencies
- Erectile dysfunction
- Urinary problems
- Weight gain
- Brain fog
- Menstrual headaches
- Vaginal dryness
- Incontinence
- Migraines
- Low libido
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Hot flashes
Are Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
Pellets Right For You?
Why use pellets?
One of the benefits of pellets is that pellets can be used to deliver hormones to the body that are both structurally and biologically identical to the body’s own hormones. Bio-identical hormones such as estradiol (E2) and testosterone are the most commonly used ingredients.
They are slowly released over a period of three to four months, allowing for more consistent delivery. Because the pellet is placed beneath the skin, once it is inserted, the body naturally does the rest. Patients do not have to remember to take a pill, apply a cream, or give an injection. Patients also do not have to worry about getting the pellet removed because it is safely dissolved by the body over time. Once it is dissolved, the next pellet can be inserted by the physician.

What to ask your doctor about the pellets they’re using
Are pellets safe? Your doctor should look for pellets that are created in dedicated facilities that comply with both USP <795> and <797> regulations and maintain DEA manufacturing licenses. Checking that thorough sterility testing is completed, including not only in- house testing, but also testing and verification through a third-party laboratory. The pharmacy should ensure that only the highest quality ingredients are used in preparing pellets and that expert pharmacist specializing in pellets are available to answer any questions regarding prescriptions.
How are pellets made? For a more natural product, look for sterile implantable pellets that are created fusing together hormone powder and stearic acid without the use of chemical binders. These compressed pellets are about the size of a grain of rice and should be resistant to breakage and have a consistent color and texture for higher quality results that you and your doctor can be confident in.
The Balance of Nature and Science with Extraordinary Benefits!
Balanced hormones are essential for good health and disease prevention as we age. Hormone levels can be optimized with tiny pellets placed just under the skin.
Hormone pellets release all-natural, bio-identical estrogen and/or testosterone which is metabolized consistently into the body as needed.

Precise Dosing is Key
Pellets deliver pure, bio-identical hormones directly into the blood stream 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for up to five months. Pills, patches, creams and shots cannot provide a steady delivery of hormones 24/7. Pellets provide a constant supply of hormones that your body recognizes as its own, which significantly reduces the chance of adverse side effects.
