While the BioTE insertion process isn’t painful, there are 2 things we recommend you avoid for 3 days after a pellet placement. First of all, it is best to avoid exercising your gluteus muscles-no spin class, stair steppers, squats or lunges.
You’ll leave our Dallas office with a white gauze dressing over the insertion area, which covers a small piece of tape, or steri strip. This is meant to keep the pellet in place and help your body heal properly. While you can remove the white gauze and shower the day after the procedure, you’ll want to leave the skin tape in place for three days.
Every woman is a little different. Some women start noticing changes to their bodies in as little as a week. For others, it may take up to four weeks. Most Dallas women fall comfortably within this range.
Keep in mind that your results probably won’t be noticeable all at once. For most women, the changes are gradual. For example, you may have more energy one day or feel a little more in the mood for sex the next. These changes in emotional, mental, and physical health will continue to improve as your treatment goes on, and full benefit is seen 4-6 weeks after a pellet is placed.
To find out if you’re a candidate for BioTE, all you have to do is schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Brady. At the appointment, she’ll review your symptoms, medical history and discuss your concerns to see if BioTE is the best option for you.
