BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy
BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) at Dr. Bednar’s practice offers advanced hormone optimization solutions aimed at restoring hormonal balance, improving overall health, and enhancing quality of life. BHRT utilizes bioidentical hormone pellets for personalized and effective hormone replacement.
Understanding BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy
BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy involves the use of bioidentical hormone pellets that closely mimic the molecular structure of hormones naturally produced in the body. These pellets are implanted under the skin to deliver a consistent, customized dosage of hormones.
