For hormone replacement therapy, we frequently insert tiny pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—into a layer of fat underneath your skin. These pellets release a consistent amount of hormones over the next few months. It supplements your body’s natural hormone levels, helping you feel happier, healthier, and more like yourself again. Other clients have different needs, so we’ll prescribe shots, pills, creams, or patches, to help OPTIMIZE hormones, so you can feel your very best!

Book your appointment with us today when you’re ready to work together!
At ThrIVe, we provide hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones. These hormones are chemically identical to your body’s hormones. This allows your body to absorb the hormones faster and make use of them more easily than synthetic hormones.
Before starting treatment, we first need to create your personalized care plan. We first schedule you for blood work with our medical team. This appointment will include a blood draw used to analyze your hormone levels.
We analyze your medical history, current medications, symptoms, and blood work to create your treatment plan. We select the right hormones at the best dosage level to match your unique body. This dedication to your individual needs makes us a leading provider of hormone replacement therapy in Wheeling.
When you visit us for an appointment, we first chat with you about your symptoms and how you’re feeling. Once you’re ready to get started, we first give you a local anesthetic to make sure your skin is numb and you’re totally comfortable.
Next, if you are getting pellets, as a part of your hormone therapy, we clean the insertion site. The site is typically located just above your butt cheek. Then we make a tiny incision and insert the pellets into the subcutaneous fat layer under your skin.
These pellets are only the size of a grain of rice, so the entire process takes just a few minutes! We clean and cover the incision, let you know about any necessary aftercare, and then you’re free to get back to your day.
If you’re experiencing symptoms consistent with imbalanced hormones, hormone replacement therapy might be right for you. We only treat healthy adults older than 21 who have completed their families and aren’t planning on having more children.
You can confirm your candidacy for hormone replacement therapy in Wheeling by scheduling a consultation at ThrIVe. We’ll perform blood work to check on your hormone levels.
Each time you visit us for your next hormone dose, stick to light activities for the next 3 to 5 days. Avoid glute exercises for the specified amount of time; squats too soon can cause pain around the incision and delay its healing.
You can expect to start feeling more like yourself in 3 to 8 weeks. Although the pellet starts releasing small amounts of hormones immediately, your body needs time to put the hormones into action.
After each session of hormone replacement therapy, you can expect your results to last about 4 months. We will schedule your appointment within that time frame to ensure we maintain the improvements.
Aging is the culprit for many cases of hormone imbalances. Most women experience a significant decrease in estrogen and testosterone during menopause. Menopause most commonly occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but some women may start experiencing symptoms in their 30s.
Similarly, many men experience a steady decrease in testosterone production over time. For both men and women, even small changes in hormone levels can have dramatic effects on their health and well-being.
However, aging is not the only cause of hormone imbalances. Certain underlying health conditions can also cause hormone imbalances. If you suspect your hormone levels are causing your symptoms, schedule a consultation at ThrIVe to discuss hormone replacement therapy in Wheeling.
