HORMONE THERAPY IN RIPLEY

FAQ: EvexiPEL Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy at Allure Airbrush & Aesthetics

Q1: What is EvexiPEL, and how is it different from other hormone therapies?
A: EvexiPEL is a form of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) delivered through a small, subdermal pellet. Unlike daily creams, pills, or patches, the pellet provides a consistent, steady release of hormones tailored to your body’s specific needs. This method mimics the body’s natural hormone production, avoiding the peaks and valleys associated with other delivery systems.

Q2: What are the benefits of the pellet method?
A: The primary benefits are consistency and convenience. Because the pellet releases hormones 24/7, patients often experience more stable mood, energy, and libido without the hassle of daily applications. A single insertion can provide benefits for 3-6 months, making it a “set-it-and-forget-it” solution.

Q3: Who is a good candidate for EvexiPEL Therapy?
A: Ideal candidates are men and women experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as fatigue, low libido, weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, or sleep disturbances, often associated with perimenopause, menopause, or andropause (low testosterone in men). A consultation and lab work will determine if you are a candidate.

Q4: What is the insertion process like?
A: The procedure is quick and performed in-office. After numbing the skin (typically in the hip/buttock area), a small incision is made, and the tiny pellet is inserted. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes, and you can resume most normal activities immediately afterward.

Q5: Is there any downtime after insertion?
A: There is no downtime. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, swimming, or soaking in a bath for about 48-72 hours to allow the tiny incision site to heal properly and minimize the risk of infection.

Q6: How long does it take to feel the effects?
A: Most patients begin to notice improvements in their symptoms within the first two to three weeks as their hormone levels stabilize. Full effects are typically realized within the first month.

Q7: How long do the results last?
A: The effects of a single pellet typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on your individual metabolism and body composition. We will monitor your symptoms and schedule follow-up appointments to determine the optimal treatment schedule for you.

Q8: Is EvexiPEL hormone therapy safe?
A: EvexiPEL uses bio-identical hormones, which are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces. When prescribed and monitored by a experienced medical professional based on your lab results and symptoms, BHRT is a safe and effective treatment option.

Q9: Do you take insurance for EvexiPEL Therapy?
A: Hormone replacement therapy is typically considered an elective wellness treatment and is not covered by insurance. We offer competitive pricing and may have financing options available to make your wellness journey accessible.
