Pellet Therapy & Hormone Replacement Therapy

How Star Wellness MD Restores Hormonal Balance Naturally

Why Texans Trust Star Wellness MD for Hormone Balance Care

Feeling Fatigued, Moody, or Off-Balance? Your Hormones May Be the Missing Piece

Hormones control everything from your energy and sleep to your mood, libido, and metabolism. As we age—or experience transitions like menopause or andropause—those hormones can decline or fall out of sync. The result? You may feel tired, gain weight more easily, or notice changes in focus, mood, or sex drive.

At Star Wellness MD, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and pellet therapy to help men and women rebalance naturally and feel their best again.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medically supervised treatment that restores your body’s natural hormone levels using precise, personalized dosing.

What Is Pellet Therapy?

Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy that uses tiny, custom-compounded pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—inserted just beneath the skin. These pellets slowly and steadily release hormones over 3–6 months.

The Pellet Therapy Process

• Consultation & Lab Testing: We start with an in-depth consultation and lab analysis to determine your unique hormone profile.

• Customized Dosing: Our compounding pharmacy prepares your exact hormone dose based on your labs and symptoms.

• Insertion Procedure: A 10-minute in-office procedure places pellets under the skin using local anesthetic.

• Steady Release: Over several months, pellets dissolve naturally, maintaining steady hormone levels.

• Follow-Up: Routine follow-ups and labs ensure optimal balance and dosing.

Possible Side Effects & Safety Considerations
