What is Bioidentical Testosterone?
Bioidentical testosterone is chemically identical to the testosterone produced naturally by your body. What separates TheraPellET from many other hormone replacement centers is that we use bioidentical hormones from naturally-derived sources, like wild yams. Our patented method, our Virden Method™, delivers bioidentical testosterone via subcutaneous pellets, offering a minimally invasive procedure that ensures a slow and reliable release.
Our overall goal is to alleviate symptoms of low testosterone and help you reach a better quality of life. We recommend treatments every five months for men and three months for women.
Virden Method™: Understanding Testosterone Pellets
Virden Method™ is our atraumatic method that offers a more comfortable and effective approach to hormone pellet therapy. Our method minimizes tissue damage and ensures secure pellet placement for optimal hormone delivery. A more blunt-tipped trocar helps avoid blood from collecting at the injection site, allowing for more consistent hormone absorption and long-lasting results.

Testosterone Replacement FAQs
How Long Can You Stay on Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
The duration of your treatment varies on your individual situation and for as long as you want symptom relief. Your doctor will regularly monitor your progress to decide the best course of continued treatment.
What Is the Best Age for Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
There isn’t a single best age to start testosterone replacement therapy. Age is a natural factor but other factors like lifestyle and genetics play an important role. The most important factor to pay attention to is whether you are confirmed to have clinically low levels of testosterone and are experiencing symptoms associated with low T.
What Is the Downside of Testosterone Pellets?
Testosterone pellets are an effective treatment and downsides depend on your individual situation. They do need to be replaced approximately every five months for men and three months for women, but many people see this as a positive, as opposed to more frequent testosterone injections. You may also experience some temporary side effects post-procedure.
Do Testosterone Pellets Reduce Belly Fat?
Testosterone pellets do not reduce body fat, but their effect on increasing your testosterone does affect energy level and then weight loss and muscle growth. Other factors like diet, exercise, and an overall healthy lifestyle are necessary regardless of whether you undergo treatment with testosterone pellets.
How Long Do Testosterone Pellets Last?
Testosterone pellets last around five months for men and three months for women.
