Testosterone Pellet Therapy3-6 Months of Steady Release
Skip the weekly injections and daily routines. Pellet therapy delivers consistent testosterone levels for months with just a simple office procedure.
What is Pellet Therapy?
Testosterone pellets are tiny, rice-sized implants placed just under the skin. Made of bio-identical testosterone, they slowly dissolve over 3-6 months, releasing a steady stream of hormone into your bloodstream.
This method mimics your body's natural testosterone production more closely than other TRT methods, avoiding the peaks and troughs of injections.
At Men's Health & Wellness Center (formerly NuMale Medical Center), we've performed hundreds of pellet insertions with excellent results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are testosterone pellets made of?
Testosterone pellets are small, rice-sized cylinders made of crystallized testosterone. They're bio-identical, meaning the testosterone is structurally identical to what your body naturally produces.
How long do pellets last?
Most men get 3-6 months of consistent testosterone release from each pellet insertion. Activity level and metabolism can affect duration. We monitor your levels to determine optimal timing for re-insertion.
Is the insertion painful?
The area is numbed with local anesthetic, so most men feel only pressure during the procedure. Afterward, there may be mild soreness for a few days, similar to a minor bruise.
How soon do pellets start working?
Testosterone begins releasing immediately after insertion. Most men notice improvements in energy and mood within 2-4 weeks, with full benefits developing over 4-8 weeks.
Can I exercise after getting pellets?
We recommend avoiding strenuous lower body exercise for 3-5 days after insertion to allow proper healing. Upper body exercise is fine. After that, no restrictions.
What if the dose isn't right?
Unlike injections, pellet dosing can't be adjusted mid-cycle. However, we can fine-tune your dose at the next insertion based on your blood levels and response. Most men dial in their optimal dose within 1-2 cycles.
