How long do hormone pellets last?
Women's pellets commonly last about 3-4 months. Men's testosterone pellets commonly last about 4-5 months. Timing varies because people metabolize hormones differently.
Pellet-based hormone therapy for eligible men and women who prefer less frequent dosing after provider evaluation and lab review.
Hormone pellets are placed during an in-office procedure and release hormone gradually over several months. Think slow-release battery pack. That is the appeal. You are not remembering a cream every day or an injection every week.
But pellets are not the best route for everyone. LifeSpann reviews labs, symptoms, safety factors, prior response, and route preference before recommending them for women on HRT or men on TRT.
The big tradeoff is adjustability. Pellets are convenient, but once they are placed, you do not fine-tune them day to day. That is why the pre-visit review matters.
Women may consider pellets for perimenopause or menopause symptoms when clinically appropriate. Men may consider testosterone pellets when they prefer a longer-lasting option over injections.

Common Questions
Can pellets be adjusted after insertion?
Not day to day. That is the tradeoff. Pellets are convenient, but they are not as adjustable as injections or creams once placed.
Are pellets available for both men and women?
Yes. LifeSpann offers pellet options for eligible women on HRT and eligible men on TRT after provider evaluation.
Do I still need follow-up labs with pellets?
Yes. Pellets are not a set-it-and-forget-it plan. Follow-up labs may be ordered when clinically indicated to evaluate response, safety, and future dosing.
