Most traditional medical training focuses on synthetic hormones rather than bioidentical options. Because of this, some physicians may have limited experience with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and related treatment approaches.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Fort Collins, CO
Personalized Hormone Therapy Designed Around Your Wellness Goals
In Fort Collins, where active lifestyles, changing seasons, and Northern Colorado’s dry climate can affect overall wellness, many patients seek personalized solutions for hormone balance and long-term health. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in Fort Collins, CO, offers a convenient option for addressing symptoms related to hormonal changes through low-dose hormone pellets placed beneath the skin. At Xanadu Med Spa, we provide customized BHRT using both SottoPelle® and BioTE® methods, tailoring treatment to each patient’s needs and goals.
BHRT may help support energy levels, mood balance, mental clarity, bone health, and relief from symptoms such as hot flashes and fatigue. Pellet insertions are typically needed every three to four months, depending on the individual, and treatments are designed to fit comfortably into busy Fort Collins lifestyles.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
It is the most convenient and effective method of hormone replacement available. Thoroughly documented and researched in medical journals, the therapy involves the simple and painless insertion of bioidentical hormone pellets under the skin. The hormone pellet implants are low-dose, customized to each patient’s physiological needs, and are approximately the size of a Tic Tac. When blood flows over them, they begin releasing the appropriate amounts of testosterone and estradiol into the bloodstream.
More testosterone and/or estradiol is released into the bloodstream whenever the body needs it, for example, during exercise or periods of stress. This delivery method allows your body to recognize the hormones and flourish with them by enabling it to control their release, just as it did when the ovaries and testicles were working normally. At Xanadu Med Spa, our staff has been trained in both SottoPelle® and BioTE® therapies. We carefully select our hormone pellets, the training, and the tools to customize therapy for each patient’s hormone needs.

Types of Bioidentical Therapies
Unlike some other delivery methods, hormone pellets are placed beneath the skin to provide a steady release of hormones over time. Other forms, including creams, patches, injections, and capsules, are processed differently by the body and may not provide the same consistency for every patient.
Not all hormone pellets are formulated the same way. Methods such as SottoPelle® and BioTE® use specific compounding approaches to support individualized care through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, tailored to a patient’s hormone levels, symptoms, and treatment goals.
