Gurnee Hormone Replacement for Natural Wellness

If you’re feeling tired, moody, or not quite like yourself, your hormones may be out of balance. At Affordable Beauty, we specialize in Gurnee Hormone Replacement to help you restore balance naturally and feel like yourself again. Led by Dr. Junith Thompson, who has been in private practice since 1989, our caring team provides safe, effective hormone therapy using the trusted BioTE® Medical system.

Restore Balance with BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy

Our BioTE® bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is designed to replicate the hormones your body naturally produces. Using BioTE’s innovative pellet therapy, we help men and women regain balance and vitality lost through aging. These small pellets, inserted just under the skin, deliver a steady, natural dose of hormones over time, helping you maintain consistent energy levels, improve mood, and support better sleep.

Unlike synthetic alternatives, BioTE® BHRT uses plant-based ingredients that closely match your body’s own chemistry. This natural approach helps support long-term wellness, enhance libido, and improve focus without the ups and downs that come from other hormone treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bioidentical Hormones

WHY BIO-IDENTICAL PELLET THERAPY?

Because it’s easy! As a patient, you receive two to four pellet insertions per year. This way you don’t have to think about it, and the hormone is available when your body needs it.

WHAT IS BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT PELLET THERAPY?

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can come in oral, topical and pellet forms. BHRT has many advantages over other hormone therapies – most notably, the consistent administration of the hormone prevents the rollercoaster-like effects patients often experience with creams and pills.

HOW LONG DOES A BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT PELLET TAKE TO WORK?

As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Most patients report some symptom resolution in as little as two to four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE PROCEDURE?

One week before the procedure, if possible, stop all NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, etc.). No fasting in advance of the procedure is required.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE IN-OFFICE INSERTION?

During the in-office visit, which only takes a few minutes, patients are brought into the exam room, and the insertion site is numbed. The most common site of insertion is the upper buttocks. A small incision is then made for pellet insertion. Once the pellet is inserted, the insertion site is covered with a small bandage.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE WEEK FOLLOWING THE INSERTION?

After pellet insertion, it’s best to eliminate lower body exercise. You can walk, but extraneous activity is not recommended. Swimming, hot tubs, and bathtubs are to be avoided; however, showers are permitted. After removal of the bandage, normal activity may resume.

HOW OFTEN IS PELLET INSERTION NECESSARY?

As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.

WHAT HAPPENS TO PELLETS AFTER INSERTION?

Since the pellets are bio-identical and contain nothing more than the hormones your body naturally produces, the pellets are completely dissolved and absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
