Every patient is different, but on average, you’ll start to feel relief within 4 weeks of starting your hormone replacement therapy. For some patients, it may take 2 or 3 rounds before you start to feel the complete effects. Everyone has a different body chemistry, and the pellets take time to dissolve, so patience is important. When you’re receiving hormone replacement therapy in Cedar Rapids at The Skin Lounge, we’ll work closely with you to ensure your treatment plan is effective.

Optimize Your Well-Being with Biote Hormone Therapy
Biote stands out from other hormone replacement therapies mainly in how it’s delivered and how closely it mimics your body’s natural hormones.
- Bioidentical hormones
Biote uses hormones that are structurally identical to what your body produces. That means your body recognizes and uses them more naturally compared to some synthetic options.
- Pellet therapy (set it and forget it)
Instead of daily pills, creams, or weekly injections, Biote uses tiny pellets placed under the skin that release hormones steadily over several months. This avoids the ups and downs you can get with other methods and helps maintain consistent levels.
- More stable symptom control
Because levels stay steady, many patients notice better improvement in things like fatigue, brain fog, mood, and libido—without the rollercoaster effect.
- Personalized dosing
Treatment is based on your labs and symptoms, then fine-tuned over time to get you feeling your best—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Convenience + compliance
No remembering daily meds. Once placed, the pellets work continuously, which makes it easier to stay consistent with therapy.
Your hormones are an essential part of your body’s normal functions. When they’re out of balance, any number of symptoms can appear, including fatigue, brain fog, low libido, and weight gain. If you’re experiencing these types of symptoms, consider scheduling a consultation at The Skin Lounge, a premier provider of Biote hormone replacement therapy in Cedar Rapids.

What You’ll Experience
Before starting Biote hormone replacement therapy, we’ll sit down with you for an in-depth consultation. During this time, we’ll discuss your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you find relief.
The Biote Method involves inserting a plant based pellet to deliver hormones directly to the bloodstream. The process only takes a few minutes, but we do numb the skin and make a small incision where we insert the pellet. You’ll need to wear a bandage for a few days, but after that, you can go about your normal activities!
Why Wait?

This will depend on your unique treatment plan! Most patients need their pellets inserted 3 to 4 times per year to ensure adequate dosing as the pellets dissolve.
You’ll need to wear a bandage for 3 to 4 days and avoid strenuous lower body exercises, although light walking is permitted. Avoid baths, saunas, and hot tubs until the incision is fully healed, but showering is fine!
