BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy
Services by Kingwood Skin Essentials
BioTE®
Restore Hormonal Balance and Support Well-Being
Your hormones determine not only how you look but also how you feel every day. They help regulate your metabolism, energy, sexual health, sleep, and more. When these hormones are out of balance due to aging, stress, or other factors, it can negatively affect your quality of life.
BioTE® hormone replacement therapy offers a personalized approach to hormone imbalances, helping men and women feel more like themselves again.
What Is BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy?
BioTE® focuses on subcutaneous pellet therapy, with the inserts no larger than a grain of rice. These are placed under the skin during a quick in-office visit. Afterward, the implant will deliver steady doses of hormones over the next few months, avoiding hormonal fluctuations.
Benefits of BioTE® Treatments
BioTE® HRT treatments help alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances for men and women. The compounds in the pellets are designed to match your physiology and promote better compatibility, leading to the following benefits:
- Improved energy and vitality
- Better mental clarity and focus
- Improved sleep quality
- Weight management support
- Stable emotional well-being and mood
- Restored sexual functions and libido
- Better quality of life
BioTE® treatments can make a meaningful difference in your daily life, whether your symptoms are minimal or significant. Each treatment is customized to your lab results and health goals. The results of one quick in-office treatment last for an average of three to six months.
BioTE® HRT for Women
Hormonal changes are a common part of aging for women, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Women experience a broad range of symptoms as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline. BioTE® offers a steady, customized release of hormones that not only mask symptoms but also address the issue at its root.
Upon administration, BioTE® for women can address the following symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances:
- Night sweats and hot flashes
- Irritability, mood swings, and anxiety
- Low energy levels and fatigue despite resting
- Low sex drive
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Sleep disruptions
- Weight changes
BioTE® can provide relief from menopausal symptoms and improve overall quality of life. With time, it can reduce mood swings while boosting libido and intimacy. Both sleep and wellness should improve within a few weeks, once the hormones are in balance.

BioTE® HRT for Men
Men also experience hormonal changes as they age, mainly because of testosterone decline. While the hormone is also present in women, it’s more dominant in the male hormonal system. Once it declines, the balance with other hormones is disrupted, affecting strength, energy, mood, and sexual health.
Below is how BioTE® hormone therapy can benefit men:
- Improved sexual stamina and drive
- Relief from erectile dysfunction (ED) symptoms
- Higher endurance during physical training
- Improved body strength and composition
- Better ability to build lean muscle and manage body fat
- Improved mental clarity and focus
Hormone optimization with BioTE® helps men feel more balanced and vital, supporting a healthy and active lifestyle. It helps protect the body from long-term decline, with BioTE® pellets providing steady, consistent hormone doses. Men will not have to worry about daily doses or injections, as the pellets can last several months.
What to Expect from BioTE® HRT at Kingwood Skin Essentials
At Kingwood Skin Essentials, we offer personalized treatment plans and assist you through your entire journey to wellness. Our patients can expect the following:
- Initial Consultation: We perform precise, medical-grade bloodwork to evaluate your current hormone level.
- Preparation: We apply a local anesthetic to the buttock or upper hip to prepare for the pellet insertion.
- Administration: We create a very small incision that allows us to place the pellet directly beneath the skin and close the incision with surgical tape.
Most patients walk out of the office and follow their usual routine immediately. While no recovery is needed, we advise you to refrain from vigorous lower-body exercise. This ensures the incision site heals correctly over the next few days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are BioTE® Hormonal Insertions Painful to Get?
No, BioTE® insertions are well tolerated and rarely painful, as the procedure is performed under local anesthetic. Most patients feel pressure during the administration, followed by some bruising and soreness over the next few days.
How Soon Will I Notice Changes in My Symptoms?
Each patient has their own body composition, so symptoms may develop at different rates. Initial changes appear around the second- to third-week mark, but changes in mood, energy, or sleep tend to emerge after a month or so. Full benefits show within a few months of the insertion.
Will I Need Bloodwork to Get the BioTE® Hormone Treatment?
Yes, bloodwork is necessary to get a full understanding of your current hormone levels and needs. This way, our specialists can create a personalized plan to restore your body’s balance.
How Long Will I Have to Undergo the BioTE® Treatment?
As long as your body needs it. The pellets are designed to last up to six months, after which they must be replaced. A consultation and careful monitoring are needed to determine whether you need another round of pellets.
Are There Any Side Effects Associated with BioTE® HRT Treatments?
BioTE® may cause side effects as the body adjusts, but they typically fade as hormone levels reach optimal levels. These may include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and mood swings. Women may also experience bloating, breast tenderness, and oily skin as the body adjusts.
Can Anyone Get BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy?
BioTE® therapy is well-tolerated and safe for most men and women experiencing hormonal imbalances. However, careful consideration is recommended for those with blood-clotting disorders or a history of heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, or stroke.
